Mandiant is a recognized leader in dynamic cyber defense, threat intelligence and incident response services. By scaling decades of frontline experience, Mandiant helps organizations to be confident in their readiness to defend against and respond to cyber threats. Mandiant is now part of Google Cloud.

Most organizations have cyber-threat intelligence programs in one form or another, but the tough-to-face fact is that many only achieve tactical success at best. Today’s threat landscape, by contrast, demands threat intelligence best practices and a more formal program, which leaves a significant cyber intelligence gap in organizations. 

Tune into this custom BrightTALK session with experts from Mandiant and Enterprise Strategy Group to subvert this trend for your organization and discover how to develop and maintain a proactive and impactful cyber-threat intelligence program.

Additional agenda items include:
• Trends associated with open-source intelligence (OSINT), commercial threat feeds, threat intelligence platforms (TIPs), and SIEM 
• The state of cyber-threat intelligence programs today
• What’s needed to advance existing programs

Making cyber-threat intelligence programs effective and impactful

Detecting and responding to bots and fraud has become vital to organizations and ensuring security for their users. Attackers are carrying out more sophisticated bot attacks, and using novel ways to exploit compromised credentials to gain unprecedented access to the online presence of organizations. 

Join our upcoming webinar to see how reCAPTCHA Enterprise with its GA of Account Defender is driving security by preventing account takeovers, preventing fraudulent attempts and reducing friction for legitimate users.

We’ll explore how you can leverage the depth of Google’s intelligence and ML models by securing 6 million websites, how to secure your login and registration workflow, and moving beyond the visual challenge.

Recent studies show there is still a skills gap in cyber security. To help close this gap, John Doyle, Applied Intelligence Mentorship Program Lead at Mandiant, created a Cyber Threat Intelligence course to train security teams to think like a Mandiant threat intelligence analyst.  

In this webinar, John  shares a preview of this exclusive Mandiant Cyber Threat Intelligence course that delves into the mind of an APT. 

This new strategic course is designed for new security professionals or those transitioning into new security roles. It aims to teach how countries use cyber operations as a tool of statecraft to advance national-level priorities, and in response to geopolitical drivers. With this knowledge, students will gain an understanding of how, why, and against whom nation-states attack so you will know what to look for and how to proactively identify potential threats that could impact your organization.  

Register now for this webinar for insights into: 
 - Using APT attribution to inform defensive posture, allocate resources, and provide insight into likely threat vectors
 - Best practices in using and evaluating CTI reports 
 - Improving risk assessments and developing threat profiles by understanding threat actor mission, mandates, and motivations

Previsión de ciberseguridad de Mandiant para 2023

Mandiant is pleased to invite you to a webinar discussion on ransomware attacks with our panel of experts from Baker Hostetler, Marsh, and Coveware.

Throughout 2021, there was a significant increase in the number of ransomware attacks across industries, with an estimated 1/3 of all organizations worldwide having experienced a ransomware attack or some form of a breach. Once opportunistic hackers have evolved into highly sophisticated cyber criminals, and their ransom demands have now reached several millions of dollars per incident, on average. Due to their complexity, these incidents result in significant financial, operational, reputational, and legal consequences.

Today, organizations are expected to be prepared for a ransomware attack. We will provide practical takeaways that organizations from all industries can implement.
Discussion topics will include:

• Threat profile of a ransomware attack including prevention and recovery strategies
• Legal implications of a ransomware attack 
• Insurance measures available to mitigate cyber risk
• Considerations and requirements for ransomware recovery negotiations
