Extensive digital transformation programs in organizations over the past few years has sparked an explosion in their use of third-party services. While this trend has helped enhanced operational capabilities, it has also expanded organizations’ cyber-attack surfaces, with an explosion in access points and potential vulnerabilities.
The latest edition of the popular National Institute of Standards and Technology's Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF), version 2.0, has recognized these changes and provides new guidance to help organizations effectively manage the subsequent risk.
In this webinar, an expert panel will explore the updates to the CSF in relation to third-party risk, and offer practical advice on how to integrate the framework into their supply chain risk management programs.
Join this session to learn about:
• The evolving third-party risk management landscape, and how attackers are taking advantage of more complex attack surfaces
• How the NIST CST 2.0 approaches this area of cybersecurity and why these changes have been made
• How to effectively integrate the provisions into your third-party risk management program, taking into account your specific organization and sector

How to Optimize Third-Party Risk Management Programs Through NIST CSF 2.0

Adversaries conducting distributed denial of service (DDoS) continuously improve attack size and sophistication.  

Over the past years, hacktivists and other DDoS attackers have diversified their arsenal, using techniques ranging from HTTP request-intensive to IP packet-intensive and bit-intensive DDoS attacks. To make their attacks more efficient, they now traditionally use networks of devices, called botnets, programmed to send requests to the same website automatically.
The largest-ever DDoS attack occurred during the third quarter of 2023, with 201 million requests per second (rps) –almost eight times more significant than the previous record of 26 million rps, reported in 2022.

Taking an inside look at a DDoS simulation case study, this session will highlight how companies can prepare in advance, identify vulnerabilities, and mitigate DDoS attacks.
Tune in to learn:
• Why DDoS attacks are so easy to launch today
• How to gauge your exposure to DDoS threats
• The impact of closing critical vulnerability gaps via simulation testing – a case study
• Actionable steps for proactive DDoS protection

Uncovering DDoS Vulnerabilities with Simulation Testing: A Case Study

Mitigating sophisticated identity-based attacks has become a top concern for security professionals. 

As MFA adoption increases across organizations, there is an evolution in attack tactics that have become increasingly popular in the cat-and-mouse game between attackers and defenders; specifically, MFA fatigue, Attacker-in-the-Middle (AiTM), and session theft attacks. 

IAM administrators are battling these while also trying to support end users who are increasingly frustrated and inconvenienced by MFA interrupting their work day. 

So how can organizations strengthen identity security to frustrate the attackers instead of their users?
 
Join this webinar, to learn:
 · How to leverage endpoint device identity to block sophisticated tactics such as MFA fatigue, Attacker-in-the-Middle, and session theft 
 · How verifying device trust during authentication creates a much better end user experience
 · How the industry has a lot more to offer than deploying and maintaining clunky device certificates

Why Strong Identity Security Needs Device Verification & Better User Experience
