Building a Proactive Strategy to Exposure Management

The most intensive kinetic military conflict in modern history erupted when Russia invaded Ukraine in early 2022. That war developed in a myriad of unexpected ways that impacted nearly every aspect of the cyber threat landscape. Attackers were forced to find new, creative and uncommon techniques to evade detection and bypass security defenses, while also solving for rapidly shifting real-world priorities. 

The past year of adversary evolution has created a landscape filled with malicious actors who are conducting new attacks, in new ways, against new targets, for entirely new reasons. 

Now, organizations have to grapple with attacker techniques they never considered a major risk before – and defending against them requires new ways of approaching cyber defense. 

Join Andrew Kopcienski to discuss what’s changed, what hasn’t, and why it matters significantly to the protection of your organization moving forward.

Organizations are struggling to keep up with the constantly changing threat landscape. With more complex and sophisticated attacks, planning for incidents and validating preparedness is critical to ensuring the success of your incident response efforts.

Incorporating the latest intelligence and automation can increase the efficiency and effectiveness of your Security Operations Center (SOC) while reducing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Watch this webinar to learn how to:

Leverage cyberthreat profile development, landscape briefing, response readiness through Tabletop Exercises and Security Planning/Cybersecurity Assessment
Validate operations and technologies through automation
Navigate economic challenges and avoid overspending on redundant defenses

3 Steps to Improve SOC Efficiencies and Reduce TCO

Please join Behavior Research Team members, Ursula Cowan and Andrea Hatcher, as they give a brief overview of security validation using an intelligence-led approach.

Specifically, the team will focus on creating endpoint actions that can then be used to validate the effectiveness of an organization's endpoint security solution(s).

This is the second webinar in the ‘Beyond IOCs’ series of Mandiant Advantage Security Validation intelligence-led content creation. You can watch the first webinar: Beyond IOCs: Validate Security Controls With Quality Threat Intelligence on this channel.

Beyond IOCs: Demonstrating an Intelligence-Led Approach to Security Validation

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.

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
