Google Cloud Cybersecurity Forecast 2024

The presentation seeks to explore the transformation of cybersecurity methodologies in the face of an evolving digital world. In the context of the Canadian financial sector, this has included regulatory guidance and a focus on managing insider threats. 
The essence of this shift is the focus on Insider Risk Management (IRM). Insider risks - whether unintentional or intentional - pose a significant threat to organizations. The discussion will examine how insider threats have evolved and how they now require NextGen methodologies and tools to properly mitigate and manage. 

By exploring various case studies of significant insider threat incidents, the presentation aims to underscore the critical importance of IRM and its role in a holistic cybersecurity strategy. 

Join Mandiant to understand: 
- Strategies for leaders to meet regulatory guidance and drive this change
- Fostering a culture of cybersecurity resilience within their organizations.

The Cyber Security Threat Landscape Targeting the Manufacturing Industry

Attack surface data is the ever-increasing amount of information that attackers can use to exploit vulnerabilities in an organization's systems and networks. One of the biggest challenges in parsing through attack surface data is its sheer volume and complexity. Attackers are constantly developing new techniques and tools to exploit vulnerabilities, and organizations need to be able to keep up. 
This means that security teams need to be able to quickly and accurately identify and prioritize vulnerabilities, even if they are buried in a sea of data.

Join the Mandiant team for a live discussion on outcome-based asset discovery, an easy-to-use method of understanding attack surface exposures. The team will discuss and demo:
- How to define the outcomes or success criteria of asset discovery 
- The various use cases external attack surface management can solve for
- The different ways to operationalize attack surface findings across the organization

Building a Proactive Strategy to Exposure Management

With a marked increase RaaS, APT, and nation-state sponsored attacks in the industrial cybersecurity sector over the last 18 months it is more critical than ever for organizations to build effective incident response capabilities for their Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) environments.

Often when the OT process is down, so is the revenue stream. The pressure to get back operational is high – having a solid practiced plan, the right tools in place, and an effective decision-making process are critical to restoring production.

Watch this webinar to learn how to:

Better prepare for the convergence of IT and OT systems with improved threat awareness and expanded knowledge of attacker;
Maintain business continuity by hunting for threats and boost the ability to monitor, detect and respond to threats;
Create a plan and process to restore production in the event of an APT and nation-state sponsored attack.

A Proactive Approach to Incident Response for OT

Threat intelligence provides security teams with insights into the kinds of attacks that may target their organizations and prioritize their security activities. But what if the risk is coming from third-party partners and systems? In this webinar, experts discuss how security teams can use available threat intelligence to identify third-party risk and work with partners to mitigate them. Learn how to decide what to collect and how to correlate the information with internal data sources and those belonging to partners and suppliers to get the proper view of the threats. Walk away with practical tips on how to use threat intelligence to work with suppliers as part of an overall security strategy.

During this webinar you will:

- Pinpoint data streams most valuable for threat intelligence gathering.
- Identify data that can help identify potential third-party exposure.
- Get professional tips on how to work with suppliers to mitigate cybersecurity risk.

How to Use Threat Intelligence to Mitigate Third Party Risk

For cybersecurity, artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to benefit both the defenders and their adversaries. 

Threat actors are using AI to instantly generate sophisticated and evasive attacks, while security teams are now using AI-powered security tools to better protect against them. Today, Mandiant consultants are leveraging AI to help defenders reduce the amount of time needed to detect, respond, and remediate these attacks. 
 
Tune into this webinar to learn how Mandiant consultants use AI on the front lines to improve engagement efficiency and effectiveness—alongside their hands-on expertise and embedded threat intelligence.
 
Attendees will learn from Mandiant speakers Trisha Alexander, Ron Craft, and Jennifer Guzzetta how to use AI as a starting point to:
• Accelerate the investigation process of incident response events
• Streamline the generation of baseline threat detections
• Apply diverse query languages for navigation across multiple security platforms

AI & Cybersecurity: How Mandiant Consultants Accelerate Detection & Response

Threat intelligence is foundational to all aspects of a security program, from SecOps to vulnerability management to risk management and leadership. However, many organizations struggle to operationalize threat intelligence across functions to reduce risk faster. Additionally, the volume can be unmanageable if you don’t know what threats are most critical to your organization.  

Mandiant (now part of Google Cloud) is leveraging AI to help security teams of all abilities see the threats that matter to them and use natural language to produce AI-driven search summarization.  

Watch this upcoming webinar as Mandiant Threat Intelligence experts— Josh Bass, Megan DeBlois, and TJ Alldridge—demonstrate the new AI capabilities in Mandiant Threat Intelligence and share best practices. Attendees will learn:
• Why a personalized threat profile is important to quickly understand your threats today
