Swimming with sharks: Understanding & countering threats in higher education

Cyber attacks continue to grow across government agencies, in both frequency and scope. It’s increasingly difficult for IT leaders to track threat actor behaviors, including those sponsored by nation states and financially motivated criminal operations.

In this digital event, government media and industry leaders discuss what’s at stake for government agencies, from critical infrastructure and national resilience issues to risk management and civilian network defense. Tune in to explore the following topics and more:

• How nation-state interests are driving advanced persistent threat (APT) activity
• Insights into recently investigated APT groups
• The latest tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) used by adversarial groups
• The state of the ransomware landscape

La migración a entornos de múltiples nubes y el panorama de amenazas en evolución plantean nuevos riesgos para las organizaciones. A medida que los datos se encuentran en múltiples instancias de nube, los atacantes evolucionan para aprovechar la falta de visibilidad y de control, colocando las operaciones en riesgo de una brecha.

Participa junto a nuestros expositores el jueves 19 de noviembre del 2020 a las 10:30 a.m. UTC / 8:30 a.m. PT donde analizaremos la complejidad, estrategias y habilidades necesarias para mantener de forma efectiva las operaciones en los entornos de nube. Abordando aspectos como:

¿Cómo puedo obtener una mayor visibilidad en todos los entornos de nube?; ¿Está mi equipo deteniendo eficazmente la fuga de datos y protegiendo la integridad de los datos?; ¿Mi equipo tiene evidencia para comunicar adecuadamente las métricas claves a nuestros ejecutivos?; ¿De qué lado del modelo de responsabilidad de nube compartida es responsable mi equipo?

De acordo com o Gartner, até 2022 espera-se que as organizações sejam responsáveis por pelo menos 95% de suas falhas de segurança na nuvem. Mas se você mudar a forma como pensa a segurança na nuvem, a sua história poderá ser outra!

Junte-se a nós em um webinar ao vivo enquanto desvendamos vários mitos comuns que colocam em risco sua migração rápida e segura para a nuvem:

• A nuvem não é segura
• Minha organização não usa a nuvem
• Meu provedor de nuvem vai me manter seguro
• A nuvem é apenas o computador de outra pessoa
• Atacantes avançados não estão mirando na nuvem

Você também aprenderá como identificar um provedor confiável para que possa aproveitar com segurança os avanços que a nuvem oferece.

Mandiant Security Validation allows you to accurately assess a company's security posture. We help our clients take a proactive approach to identifying and mitigating risks due to incorrect configurations, inefficiencies in products, and / or established security processes.

Register for the webinar and find out how Mandiant Security Validation enables you to:

• Evaluate your security posture in order to prioritize investments;
• Optimize the configuration of your technologies to maximize the return on investment;
• Compare your security with market standards such as MITRE ATT&CK Framework and others;
• Test the correct operation of your DLP-type tools;
• Measure the security of your security processes in the CLOUD;
• Validate the correct operation of your Endpoint tools;
• Confirm network segmentation in IT / OT / SCADA environments.

The results can be extremely interesting for managers of SOCs, CISOs and for the Board of Directors.

Security assumptions do not equal security effectiveness. With increasing pressure on boards of directors and CEOs to provide evidence that business assets are protected from the fallout of a potential breach, the need to justify security investments is now a key performance metric. Only through security validation and continual measurement of security effectiveness across technology, people and processes can you rationalize cyber security investments and prove value to the C-suite.

In this session, led by General Earl Matthews, VP of Strategy for Mandiant Security Validation, you can learn:

- Best practices for investment prioritization when it comes to hiring, training and security solution procurement
- How security validation testing can identify areas of overlap in capabilities, inefficiencies in product expectations, and gaps in overall security posture, and help you optimize performance and value
- Steps to take to strengthen your security posture and minimize cyber risk in order to protect your brand reputation and economic value

Sandra Joyce, FireEye SVP & Head of Global Intelligence, returns to talk with Brian about recent infamous hacker groups’ exploitation of COVID-19, why having more security tools damages your chance of surviving a breach, and gives insight into findings from the Mandiant Validation Security Effectiveness Report.

Through Mandiant investigation of intrusions between February 2018 through September 2020, the FLARE Advanced Practices Team observed a group Mandiant tracks as “UNC1945” compromise and operate against a tailored set of targets within the financial and professional consulting industries by leveraging access to third-party networks.

Please join Mandiant’s Justin Moore and Jacob Thompson, for a look at UNC1945, including the group’s:

• Demonstrated access to exploits, tools, and malware for multiple operating systems
• Exploitation of an Oracle Zero-day
• Disciplined interest in covering or manipulating their activity
• Advanced technical abilities during interactive operations

The Expanding Attack Surface: How Continuous Validation Helps Protect the Supply Chain

Organizations are increasingly using third party providers to manage critical components of their infrastructure. The introduction of cloud services, managed service providers, and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) has increased the size of an organization’s attack surface. A breach of proprietary and confidential information is just as impactful coming from the supply chain as it is from an organization’s infrastructure. Join Matt Shelton, Director, Technology Risk and Threat Intelligence, as he explains how intelligence-led validation can help tighten controls and reduce risk. In this webinar:

-Hear about the realities of today’s threat landscape, sophisticated attackers and the implications on managing your security stack and processes
-Learn how threat intelligence helps you take decisive action
-Find out how continuous validation helps you understand the true measure of your security
-Get insights into an actual use case where a company’s supply chain was breached to see how intelligence-led validation could have helped prevent it

The need to improve how companies prove security effectiveness in today’s business climate is clear: attacks are on the rise, targets are expanding, adversaries are more motivated, and their tactics are increasingly insidious.

Now, more than ever, organizations need access to emerging threat data as it happens. Security leaders need to be able to provide proof to their organization that these threats cannot and will not breach their defenses by being able to prioritize the threats that matter to them now and take action.

This session will show how relevant and emerging threat data combined with controls validation technology provides insight into what is most important to test against and what to prioritize based on the knowledge of who and what might be targeting an organization or industry. Through this approach to security validation, security leaders can provide evidence to C-level leadership and give them confidence that controls are working as they should against threats and adversaries delivering expected value and maintaining the organization’s accepted level of risk.

With the chance of an attacker affecting more organizations today—notably around ransomware progression and the shift to remote work—your security function is continually challenged to keep pace with incident prevention, detection and response.

Transformation timelines often occur in two ways: proactive action to mitigate future threats, or reactive measures to remediate an existing incident—the latter can be detrimental. It’s imperative for security teams to develop and mature their security posture through capability improvement across four key areas: security architecture, cyber defense, governance and risk management.

In this session, you'll learn how Mandiant helps organizations conduct transformational changes of critical security functions and staff readiness through hands-on support across these critical areas. We’ll also share a roadmap of our new transformation services on the horizon.

Advanced attackers fly under the radar of prevention or detection technologies, living off the land, leveraging features and tools found in the operating system. From an attacker’s perspective, using legitimate or existing tools and features makes the defender’s job inherently more difficult. Picking out the malicious use of built-in OS tools is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

With FireEye Endpoint Security and our protection modules, these living off the land based attacks are made visible to FireEye and can be stopped. See how you can quickly implement Endpoint Security modules to disrupt attackers.
