Today’s endpoint security products do what they were designed to do, but they still leave gaps in protection. Comprehensive endpoint protection requires prevention, AV, endpoint detection and response (EDR) and other capabilities. Even when organizations adopt multiple point products, there are still gaps in their endpoint protection.

Some companies tout “next-generation endpoint security,” but what does that mean? Jim Waggoner, Sr. Director of Endpoint Product Management at FireEye will tell you how to make sure your next-generation endpoint security solution is delivering a comprehensive. In this webinar, you will:

> Learn about the current endpoint security landscape and the challenges it poses
> Find out what makes EDR capabilities valuable
> Understand why threat intelligence is important and how it affects endpoint threat detection and prevention
> Discover why a single endpoint agent should include (1) Multiple detection and prevention engines, (2) Integrated workflows from detection to investigation to remediation, and (3) Scalable, multiple form factors and breadth of OS support

Government networks, critical infrastructure and data are under a constant state of attack. The nature of these threats evolve on a daily basis. Hacktivists, nation states and cyber criminals push people, processes and technologies that make up Government cyber defenses to their breaking points.

In this webinar, Tony Cole, Vice President and Global Government Chief Technology Officer at FireEye, will be sharing how to:

-- Interpret and respond to trends in adversary capabilities and motivations.
-- Integrate and apply cyber intelligence to reduce risk, cost and operational overhead.
-- Improve readiness and response to minimize the impact of a breach.

Learn how you can apply best practices in intelligence-led security into your defenses.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is the standard for protecting sensitive systems and credentials. What once was limited to physical tokens and keycodes has expanded into digital tokens, phone applications, and password vaults, all in the effort to offer additional safeguards for critical access points like VPN connectivity and system administrator accounts.

While MFA is now an industry-standard security practice, monitoring and protecting these implementations from exploitation is not widely practiced.

Gathered from the trenches of both our Incident Responders and Red Teamers, here is a quick introduction to the problems faced with common MFA systems, the ways real-world attackers (e.g. APT28 & ATP29) and our Red Team have bypassed or subverted them, and some techniques your team can use to further protect the multi-factor keys to your kingdom.

In a rapidly evolving threat landscape with the realities of limited security program resources, it can be difficult for organizations to know what the most critical risks and exposures are, presently and looking forward. While most organizations recognize the importance of cyber threat intelligence (CTI), Mandiant consulting frequently finds organizations have limited capabilities to operationalize CTI throughout all aspects of their security program.

A recent online poll conducted by FireEye about the operational use of CTI found that 84% of responders use threat intelligence for business decision-making. 67% use it to make decisions about resources and security tools while 17% said they use it for risk assessment on new business initiatives. 17% don’t use it at all.

In this webinar, Jeff Berg, Senior Manager of Mandiant’s Cyber Threat Intelligence Services, discusses the role of intelligence in cyber security programs and steps organizations can take to transform security operations to be intelligence-led, so they can continuously adapt to the threat landscape, and ultimately infuse intelligence capabilities across the entire organization for informed decision making.

Modern cyber attackers are sophisticated, well-funded, well-organized and use highly-targeted techniques that leave technology-only security strategies exposed. To identify and stop attackers, organizations need to understand how they think, how they work, and what they want. Why? Because today, the most serious data breaches and disruptions result from well-planned, complex attacks that target specific companies or industries. Bolster your defenses with a proactive, forward-looking approach to security. Join our live webcast, Tuesday, November 15 at 2:00pm ET to learn:

-What cyber threat intelligence truly is and the benefits of being intelligence-led.
-How to tailor threat intelligence to your unique security mission.

Advanced threats continue to grow in severity, complexity and reach as threat actors expand their attacks to hit soft targets. Adding to this, as business workloads move to the cloud, and as shadow IT continues to proliferate, unforeseen security gaps expose new vectors for exploit and abuse.

Attacks are not just targeting the core of a network, nor are they limited to just large scale enterprises. More and more, threat actors are aiming at vulnerable endpoints, distributed network environments and porous perimeter defenses. To combat this, security solutions need to be as agile as today’s threat actors.

In this webinar, we will discuss the changing threat landscape and how today’s threat actors and advanced malware are impacting businesses of all sizes and types. Additionally, we will examine new security solutions and deployment models that provide agility, flexibility and widespread protective reach that scales and grows with IT and security needs.

Cybersecurity awareness is growing as more organizations learn they are vulnerable to an attack. While compliance with regulatory and security audit requirements provides a starting point, it alone will not keep the organization safe. An effective security program needs to be multifaceted, integrating people, processes and technologies across all layers of the organization. The specifics vary due to industry, size and geographic presence, as well the level of risk the organization is willing to accept.

Mandiant Sr. Manager Tim Appleby will discuss the benefits of proactive preparedness and 10 key areas that should be considered in order to form a holistic security program, and discuss how priorities can vary based on industry, size and geography.

As usual, we'll leave plenty of time for Q&A.

Are you prepared?
It’s headline news. Cyber attackers are increasingly more sophisticated and data breaches are becoming common place. Some say “it’s not a question of if you’ll be breached, but when”. You need a plan.

Even the most security-conscious organizations are not prepared for the necessary actions needed to gain control after a cyberattack. Preparing an emergency response communication plan keeps stakeholders informed following a breach. Taking an early communication approach will combat rumor and conjecture. The breach is now a business problem. From employees and customers to partner and suppliers – people need to be confident the situation is being addressed, managed, and resolved.

Communication is key.
Smart organizations view their security crisis-communication plan as an ongoing necessity. Get ahead of the reactive situation and decrease the uncertainty. Involve the company’s top leaders across the cross-functional organization. Create a framework for answering questions honestly and with integrity. Share information up front and often. Frequent detailed communication couple with action timelines creates confidence.

Get operational in real time.
You can’t control the communication cycle without having done some work in advance. A well-developed crisis response plan with different scenarios will train your team to operate in real time when the inevitable occurs. You can take control of the situation with timely communications.

Be prepared. Join us for our upcoming webinar to learn how to build a strong crisis-communication foundation for your organization.

The security paradigm for nearly two decades has been to increasingly invest in technology. These solutions have not only failed to solve the problem but have made the challenge more complex. Even if true threats are detected, they are lost in a sea of alerts and lack the context to prioritize and build response. This security posture is only exacerbated by the skills deficit currently facing the industry.

In this webinar, we look at the emergence of a new security-as-a-service paradigm and the capabilities required to help organizations reduce risk and time to protection. The discussion will cover how the cost, specialization and complexity of cyber defense have positioned security to follow other markets in adopting an “as-a-service” paradigm.

We will also address the capabilities that define an ideal security-as-a-service partner such as:

•the availability of security expertise
•a broad intelligence capability and
•flexible deployment options

Not only does this approach improve a security posture and reduce risk but it does so with a lower total cost of ownership (TCO). Register today to learn more about this emerging security-as-a-service model.

As cyberattacks become more frequent, more sophisticated, and more costly, businesses are increasingly turning to cyber insurance to transfer some of the risk. In turn, insurance underwriters are challenged by the complexity of assessing cyber risk, and need a simple yet objective methodology to assist in decision making.

In response to this, Chubb has developed a new model for cyber underwriting, Cyber COPETM. Intended to simplify and improve the assessment of both cyber and privacy risks, this methodology is based on COPE, a time-tested underwriting model that has been used by property underwriters to analyze risk for nearly 300 years.

Mandiant Consulting has teamed with Chubb to create a Cyber Risk Insurance Assessment Process that aligns with the new Cyber COPETM methodology to allow a more effective evaluation of an insured’s cyber and privacy risk.

In this webinar, experts from Mandiant Consulting and Chubb will discuss the Cyber COPETM methodology, Mandiant's new CIRA service, and how organizations can use both to better understand their cyber and privacy risks.

As usual, we'll leave plenty of time for Q&A.

Beginning in January 2016, Mandiant identified a financially-motivated threat actor that launched several tailored, spear-phishing campaigns—targeting industries that process large volumes of consumer credit cards such as retail, restaurant, and hospitality. To date, Mandiant has seen this group at over 150 organizations. This group is interesting due to the large number of organizations they quickly targeted, how quickly they shift tools, tactics, and procedures (TTPs), and their unusual persistence in attempting to re-compromise an organization after remediation.

During this conversation, we will walk through examples from several Mandiant investigations of this groups activity. We will take a technical look at this threat actor's TTPs as well as talk about what to look for to determine if they are active in your environment.

Register for this webinar as our experts share key insights on this new cyber threat group!

According to the latest M-Trends report, 53 percent of network compromises are identified by an external organization rather than the internal IT department. This is especially apparent in the hospitality industry where massive amounts of customer data and credit card information are stored. Now more than ever, it’s critical to understand the security posture of your network and implement comprehensive security solutions that help you rapidly detect, analyze and contain potential threats.
