As threats evolve, the best way to stay safe is with a solid security strategy. Hear from OpenText customer, Connecticut Orthopaedics, on how the combination of email encryption and email threat protection creates peace of mind for CIO, Mark Filiault. Mark will be joined by OpenText Cybersecurity Director of Product Marketing, Sam Kumarsamy as they explore the security issues surrounding email, the various solutions organizations can implement to combat these and the outcomes they can expect.

Why Email Protection is Fundamental to Any Organization

While 2022 saw several high-profile law enforcement actions against cybercriminals and underground platforms, ransomware remains the most significant cyber threat facing small to midsize organizations. Ransomware payment remains remarkably high and ransomware groups continue to modify their tactics in an ever-changing and very active landscape. 
Join OpenText Cybersecurity as we take a deep dive into the threats that might be keeping you – or your CISO – up at night. Together with industry experts including Tyler Moffitt - Sr. Security Analyst, Grayson Milbourne - Security Intelligence Director at OpenText Cybersecurity and Shawnee Delany - Cybersecurity Expert on Insider Threat Program Development, Surveillance & Investigation and Founder & CEO at Valliance Group, we will help you understand what’s happening, how you can stay on top of it all and where we think the threats are headed.

The Nastiest Malware of 2022

In the Shared Responsibility Model for Cloud Security, data security is always the customer’s responsibility, regardless of whether the cloud delivery mode is SaaS, PaaS, or IaaS. And with ransomware expanding rapidly, and SaaS usage growing exponentially in recent years due to turbocharged digital transformation, it’s more important than ever to protect your data in SaaS apps like Salesforce, Office365, and Box. This webinar explains how cloud-to-cloud backup of SaaS data protects organizations of all sizes from ransomware attacks and improves your security and posture.

Join Rik Turner, Senior Principal Analyst for Emerging Technologies at Omdia and Todd Costello, Product Manager for Carbonite Cloud-to-Cloud Backup at OpenText Security Solutions as they discuss:

- Responsibility for data security in the cloud
- Backup as a fundamental resource in addition to detection technology against ransomware
- Where backup data should be kept
- The importance of incremental backups and a multi layered security

Withstanding malicious attacks against SaaS data via secure backups

Cyber resilience can be an intimidating topic for any business, but the risk of a cyber attack is higher than ever. It is critical for companies to take action to lower their cyber risks, or potentially face crippling business disruptions: 1/3 of companies that experienced a ransomware incident reported business disruption of a week or longer, while 75% of companies that encountered a highly visible ransomware incident required post-incident steps to assess and, as warranted, improve their company’s data protection and recovery practices. 

To help organizations get ahead of potential cyberattacks, this IDC eBook, sponsored by Webroot + Carbonite, presents a six-step cyber resilience framework based on foundational industry principles that outlines the steps that businesses can take to strengthen their cyber resilience.

In this webinar, IDC analyst Michael Suby engages BrightCloud’s Matt Aldridge in a discussion of this six-step cyber resilience framework and explores the role of threat intelligence in boosting security efficacy. This conversation covers trends in the current threat landscape, new forms of cyber attacks attributed to the Russia-Ukraine war, and highlights ways that advanced machine-learning models can be leveraged to produce timely, accurate, and contextual threat intelligence to combat zero-day threats. 

There is no need to roll the dice and only partially address cybersecurity risks. Turning the framework and insights presented in this eBook into action provides a blueprint to lower your cyber risks and to avoid becoming the next victim.

Cybersecurity Resiliency Framework Built on a Foundation of Threat Intelligence

The clock starts ticking the minute a critical business system goes down. As lost revenue piles up and productivity drops, resuming normal operations becomes paramount. The fastest way to recover is to relocate the workload to another server, often at a secondary location. But for most businesses, the redundant hardware, server space and additional human resources are far too costly to make this a viable option. So, in the face of potentially devastating outages, many IT departments simply live with the risk or settle for less expensive backup options for critical workloads. The solution is Carbonite Recover—a disaster recovery software offering hosted by Carbonite. 

Join this webinar to learn how Carbonite Recover works and why it is critical component of cyber resilience and business continuity.

Why You Should Add Disaster Recovery as a Service to Your Portfolio

Phishing attacks remain high, and few are spared. Learn to protect yourself.

Three hundred global IT executives agreed to talk with IDG Research and Carbonite + Webroot about the current state of phishing attacks. Two years after they hit historic highs at the beginning of the pandemic, they remain high with 93% of executives still concerned. Further, 37% suffered downtime of more than a day in the last year while ‘gaps in skills / expertise’ remain a challenge to battling back. But not all is lost -join this webinar to learn how a multi-tiered approach to security can stem the tide of phishing attacks and protect you and your business.

Phishing Attacks on the Rise: How to Protect Your Business

While ransomware payments are on the rise, the true cost of ransomware infections includes more than just the ransomware payment. We spoke with business leaders and IT professionals to find out how their organizations were affected by ransomware. In this webinar, you’ll find out how indirect costs inflated the total price tag of the ransomware infection far beyond just losing access to data or having to pay a ransom. 

One thing is certain: lessons were learned. Find out what businesses did once they discovered a ransomware intrusion, whether they paid the ransom, and if they were able to restore access to encrypted data. Finally, learn what additional security measures they implemented to close gaps in their defenses and protect themselves from this growing and menacing threat.

The Hidden Cost of Ransomware

Today’s cybercriminals are masters at exploiting basic human trust. What’s more, they hide in plain sight, using covert and overt tactics to cause disruption for MSPs and SMBs. Business leaders must understand which type of hacker they’re dealing with to learn how to protect the business against targeted attacks.

In this webinar, Tyler Moffitt, Webroot Security Analyst, explores cybercriminal personas and explains why victims are likely to fall prey to these scam artists.

 
Key takeaways:
● Learn the hacker subtypes and their methods, motives, and strategies of choice
● Find out how to improve cyber resilience and help to keep your business online—no matter what surprises come your way!
● Protect your employees and customers against new and recurring threats

Who’s Behind the Mask? Hacker Personas Explained

97% of malware operators target users through social engineering and 96% of threats begin with email, which means social engineering tactics are now the #1 cause of cybersecurity breaches.  By exploiting the natural human inclination to trust, like clicking on phishing emails to download malware or obtain credentials to move laterally, cybercriminals are discovering new methods to hack your software and leave you and your clients vulnerable.

Join Alan D. Crowetz, CEO at InfoStream (MSP and OpenText customer) and Sam Kumarsamy, Director of Product Marketing at OpenText Security Solutions as they discuss and share the following in this pre-recorded webinar:

Encrypting ransomware is a key term in the title as just ransomware is broad and can include threats that are very different, easy to detect, and don't encrypt files at infection - the key differentiation point that gives these threats the upper hand against AV.

The presentation is going to be on all the encrypting ransomwares we've seen thus far. It will cover in-depth features of each one and how malware authors made improvements as time went on. There is quite a few so it will be a full presentations worth (cryptolocker, dir-crypt, cryptowall, cryptodefense, zero-locker, critroni, synolocker, cryptographic locker). I'll show from start to finish of an infection and what a user will experience and will highlight social engineering tactics along with the methods of payment circumventing money mules.
