Mandiant provides public and private organizations and critical infrastructure worldwide with early threat insights through unmatched intelligence and response expertise for the highest-profile incidents.

“It’s not IF you get breached, it’s when,” making it all the more critical for organizations to have the solutions in place to ensure cyber readiness. Threat intelligence is a vital component in protecting organizations from innovative attackers and their evolving TTPs, enabling security practitioners to gain visibility into the threats that matter to their business.

Join us for a conversation between experts, with John Hultquist, VP, Mandiant Threat Intelligence, and guest, Ian Thompson, Head of the Cyber Intelligence team within BP Digital Security. Ian will share how BP leans on threat intelligence to provide his security team with the visibility needed to better defend against threats and proactively solidify response readiness on a global scale.  Our experts will also cover:  

• How to build a resilient cyber security program leveraging operationalized threat intelligence

• Key considerations in identifying gaps and reducing risk

Solidify Cyber Readiness with Threat Intelligence

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

Developing Your Ransomware Playbook: Best Practices and Legal Considerations

Threat Intelligence covers an incredibly broad scope when it comes to cyber operations. Too often this is reduced to threat data feeds aimed at enriching SIEM detection. 

This leads to reactive operations, focusing on an event after it has occurred. One of the largest challenges organizations face is leveraging threat intelligence in order to help them turn their Security Operations into a proactive program. 

In this webinar, Ben Cook and Ryan Roobian will discuss leveraging the MITRE ATT&CK framework to help operationalize threat intelligence in a more proactive way.

Register for our webinar to better understand: 
- How to focus on what matters to your organization?
- How to objectively map these actors to a framework that will allow you to accurately know how to prioritize time and efforts?
- A use case of the Mandiant Threat Intelligence module 
- How to test these use cases against your current controls through Mandiant Security Validation
- How to build procedures around the Threat Intelligence use cases developed
- How to measure your controls based on those procedures
- Understand what the different solutions to the gap analysis are

Leveraging the MITRE ATT&CK framework to operationalize threat intelligence

If you could predict the future, your job as a security professional would be much easier. You’d know who is planning to attack you, what they are looking for, and how they plan to infiltrate your defenses.

A digital risk protection solution gives you visibility into your global attack surface and dark web activity. It lets you neutralize threat actor campaigns before they impact your operations. In this session, Mandiant experts share how Mandiant solutions enable digital risk protection, by:

• Building a complete cyber threat profile 
• Monitoring the open, deep and dark web for malicious chatter with Digital Threat Monitoring
• Using Threat Intelligence to understand threat actor TTPs and prioritize investments
• Increasing visibility across your global attack surface with Attack Surface Management

Strengthen Your Cyber Risk Profile with Mandiant

With more frequent and sophisticated cyber-attacks, organizations face increased risk of missing critical threats. At the same time, the ability to find and retain expertise across cyber security functions continues to impact an organization's ability to implement effective cyber defenses.
Learn how a digital risk protection solution helps you identify who is targeting you, what they’re after and how they plan to compromise you, giving you an early warning to proactively adjust your defenses. 
In this webinar, Mandiant experts will explain the critical elements of digital risk protection and how it helps you mitigate cyber risk, by:
• Knowing who is targeting you and how they are planning to compromise you
• Seeing what potential attackers are targeting with increased visibility across your organization and supply chain
• Understanding threat actor methods and tools to prioritize your defensive actions

Uplevel Your Security with Digital Risk Protection

Legacy tools designed before the cloud era do not deliver comprehensive visibility into the entire external attack surface, leaving assets out of sight and potentially vulnerable. Confirming this, Mandiant observed 21K+ critical and high severity issues across the customer base from January to March 2022. 

Join Jonathan Cran and Nader Zaveri for a discussion on the common entry points identified by Attack Surface Management in Q1 2022. They’ll discuss:
• How organizations end up with exposed external assets
• The methodology behind issue identification at scale
• Actions the security team can take to harden the external attack surface 
• Where an attack surface management approach fits into the overall cyber defense program at any organization

Common Entry Points Exposed on the Internet

In recent years, Mandiant has observed a significant increase in threat activity within the OT/ICS space targeting industrial and critical infrastructure organizations - threats that have the potential to impact production and safety measures.

As we continue to observe actors targeting OT in different ways—ranging from opportunistic actors to ransomware operators and even nation-state sponsored groups —our ability to acquire valuable data increases and enables a holistic view of the threat landscape. 

Daniel Kapellmann Zafra, Sr. Analysis Manager for Cyber Physical Threat Intelligence, will share details on how through enhanced visibility into diverse data sources, we can help identify threat actor activity during the early stages of the attack lifecycle and prevent them from reaching production systems.

Tap Into DHS Cyber Grants Funding to Strengthen State & Local Infrastructure

Organizations pursue mergers and acquisitions (M&A) to develop strategic business advantages. As part of their due diligence, companies investigate the potential business impact and risks from the merger or acquisition in several areas, including financial, legal and intellectual property. But they don’t always fully explore the consequences of combining the cyber security practices and technologies of two different organizations.
 
Join Mandiant consultants as they discuss why organizations going through a merger & acquisition need to identify priorities and asses vulnerabilities and security gaps. Our experts will share real life examples of how organizations we work with have done just that, allowing them to:  
 
1. Drive greater accuracy in the value of an acquisition by taking business and security risks into account before closing a deal
2. Review active and dormant risks that can threaten the acquiring brand's reputation and trust if left undetected
3. Define an integration strategy for disparate environments that is safe, efficient, and cost effective
