Ransomware and destructive attacks have changed the cybersecurity landscape. Modern business requires enhanced access to data to improve productivity, attract and retain customers, and run efficient supply chains – making the network perimeter more difficult to defend. At the same time, criminals are no longer content to just steal information, instead extorting ransoms after encrypting data or sometimes seeking to cripple organizations by destroying their data.

In this webcast you will learn about:
-Dangerous new threats such as ransomware and hacktivism, and how they differ from traditional threats
-Why new threats require a new focus
-Cybersecurity frameworks and best practices
-Enhancing your data protection and recovery capabilities to improve your cybersecurity defenses
-Why some data protection approaches may not be sufficient for advanced threats and how an Isolated Recovery approach provides a best layer of defense

CMDB Implementation is one of the most complicated of any ITSM programmes an organisation can undertake. The difficulties in creating a toolset, capable of linking hundreds of thousands of interconnected bits of data together in a meaningful manner while also supporting a highly fluid environment with dozens of changes each week, are formidable indeed.

Join Peter Hubbard, Principal ITSM Consultant at Pink Elephant EMEA, as he discusses the Pink Elephant approach to create a CMDB in the real world. He will demonstrate the critical importance of the scoping session and understanding the organisations requirements to ensure the CMDB supports the business. Peter will then show you how to turn those requirements into concrete actions to map and create your CMDB.

Faisal Usmani, Business Development and Strategy Lead for Comms at Cyient EMEA, will build on Peter’s theme; detailing how an effective CMDB implementation forms the basis for ITSM solutions. He will cite a case study that shows how this translates into a real world operational scenario that utilises actionable dashboards and provide valuable insights into your service performance at different levels within your organisation.

At the end of the session you should know the importance of being able to ask your ITSM organisation ‘For our CMDB, do we need a battle tank or body armour?’’

There has always been change in our profession. We originally started by implementing disaster recovery programmes. Soon after that, the businesses realized that the people aspect of recovery was needed as well. The results were the beginning of business continuity programmes. DR and BC have worked together almost two decades now with great success. We are now at a major transformation point again. Business continuity is now sharing more information and interacting more with security and compliance groups.

This session will go over what most of us already have in place, what we will need to add, and how all three groups interface together to provide a new resilience program for your environment. The goal of this session is to show the interactions between risk management, business continuity, security and compliance that form the components of a resilience programme.

Avec le degré de maturité et le niveau de menace atteint par les ransomwares au cours de l’an dernier, comment pouvez-vous être sûrs que votre infrastructure IT est réellement protégée et que vous êtes prêt à parer à une attaque ?

Aujourd’hui, les responsables sécurité sont confrontés à :
•un manque de renseignements exploitables sur les menaces, qui leur permettraient de mieux cerner les acteurs et les campagnes susceptibles de viser leurs entreprises
•une carence en analystes de sécurité qualifiés, capables d’identifier le nombre croissant de menaces pénétrant leurs organisations. Par exemple, les cryptoransomwares sont en augmentation constante (+35 % en 2015 ) et il faut encore en moyenne plus de 200 jours à une entreprise pour découvrir qu’elle victime d’une attaque.
•peu d’expertise spécialisée dans les techniques requises pour réagir à des menaces et les neutraliser une fois que celles-ci ont pénétré leur environnement IT

Les gangs de rançonneurs ne cessant d’affiner leurs tactiques, les entreprises ont besoin d’être parfaitement au courant des menaces et des risques qu’elles encourent. Symantec vous donne rendez-vous pour un webcast consacré aux attaques par ransomware. Vous y découvrirez ce qui est arrivé à une société et les mesures qu’elle a prises pour remédier à la menace.

The cyber threat landscape has never been more dynamic, than what we are seeing today. With an expanding surface area for attacks and a cybercriminal ecosystem worth billion of dollars on a global scale, cybercriminals are constantly pursuing new methods to obtain financial funds.

It is no different in the Nordics – a region that is well known for its natural resources, innovations in renewable energy and healthcare, proximity to the Arctic, and emphasis on transparency in government is also a prime target for cybercriminals. These unique attributes make the region a prime target for cyber threat groups looking to capitalize on Nordic countries’ robust economies and distinct geopolitical concerns.

Join Jens Monrad, Senior Intelligence Account Analyst at FireEye, who will discuss:

* The Threat Landscape in the Nordics
* Trends and Insights in Malware detections across the Nordics
* Geopolitical situations which can influence the threat landscape in the Nordics
* How having accurate and enriched threat intelligence can enable organisations to make tactical, operation and strategic decisions.

Register today and learn what tools, processes and information organisations need in order to allow them to fully reconstruct the attack scenario and help make the right decisions based on the attack, as well as prepare for the next one.

El año pasado, el ransomware alcanzó un nivel de peligrosidad y profesionalidad nunca visto hasta ahora: ¿cómo puede estar seguro de que su infraestructura informática está protegida y de que está preparado para gestionar un ataque?

En la actualidad, los líderes de los equipos de seguridad se enfrentan a los siguientes desafíos:
•Una falta de inteligencia procesable sobre amenazas para mejorar su comprensión sobre los ciberdelincuentes y campañas que podrían tener como objetivo a su empresa.
•Muy pocos analistas de seguridad cualificados que puedan identificar el creciente número de amenazas que se infiltran en su organización. Por ejemplo, el uso del ransomware de cifrado como herramienta de ataque por parte de los ciberdelincuentes continuó aumentando en 2015, con un crecimiento del 35 %. Sin embargo, las empresas que sufren un ataque siguen tardando más de 200 días en conocerlo.
•Pocos conocimientos especializados en las técnicas necesarias para responder a las amenazas y repararlas una vez han invadido su entorno informático.

Los grupos de cibercriminales especializados en ransomware continúan evolucionando sus tácticas, por lo que las organizaciones deben ser plenamente conscientes de las amenazas que estos representan. Únase a Symantec en un webinar que se centrará en un ataque de ransomware para conocer más detalles sobre el incidente y sobre las medidas que tomó la empresa para reparar la amenaza.

Lo scorso anno il ransomware ha raggiunto un nuovo livello di evoluzione e pericolosità: come essere certi che l'infrastruttura IT sia protetta e in grado di affrontare un attacco?

Oggi i leader della sicurezza hanno importanti sfide da risolvere:
•Un’intelligence sulle minacce insufficiente a individuare gli aggressori e le campagne che potrebbero attaccare la loro azienda.
•La penuria di analisti di sicurezza competenti in grado di identificare il numero crescente di minacce che penetrano all’interno delle aziende. Nel 2015, ad esempio, l’uso del crypto-ransomware come strumento di aggressione è aumentato del 35%, ma le aziende aggredite impiegano ancora più di 200 giorni per accorgersi del problema.
•Scarsa conoscenza specializzata delle tecniche di incident response e remediation per gli ambienti IT colpiti.

Gli autori dei ransomware continuano ad affinare le proprie tattiche, e le aziende devono imparare a conoscere bene le nuove minacce. Partecipa al webinar Symantec che descrive un attacco di ransomware, le sue conseguenze e la strategia di remediation adottata dall’azienda colpita.
