Ransomware is one of the biggest threats for organizations nowadays. The expectation is that this threat will grow even further. That is because ransomware is such a lucrative business case for cybercriminals: organizations are too often unprepared for these attacks and decide to pay the ransom, while ransomware components are readily available. This webinar will investigate these factors and explain how organizations can become more resilient against these attacks. We will be using examples of recent ransomware attacks in different industries. Given the complexity and variety of new ransomware threats emerging daily, it can be difficult for IT teams of any size to figure out how to detect ransomware and respond to it while managing the rest of their cybersecurity needs. To address such a dynamic problem requires a more holistic approach to vulnerability management, and to be the most effective, it will also require cross-organizational coordination. 
Agenda:
• Introductions
• Overview of Cyber Risks and Top Cyber Impact
• Ransomware Attack
• Anatomy of a ransomware attack
• Evolution of ransomware
• Ransomware Prevention and Best Practices
• Risk-Based Vulnerability Management
• Effectively identifying and prioritizing the highest-risk vulnerabilities in your environment
• The impact of asset criticality on your vulnerability management efforts
• Employing secure configurations and other safeguards to harden your environment
• Additional steps you can take to mitigate your risk of ransomware

Organizations are looking for ways to protect against threats across a growing attack surface, and extended detection and response, or XDR, can help do this. However, while XDR delivers the centralized visibility, improved threat detection, and automated response that analysts need, the technology is complex. Service providers can provide the support organizations need to deploy and manage the tools that feed into their XDR solution

The endpoint is often the first point of attack for a threat actor, which makes managing and securing it of critical importance to organizations both large and small. By integrating additional telemetry sources, XDR extends the capabilities of endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools to provide a more complete picture of threats.
Join this 30-minute session to learn how XDR helps deliver the security outcomes organizations seek by protecting across network, endpoint, and cloud environments.

Agenda
• What is XDR, and what’s driving the need for it?
• How service providers help ensure stronger, smarter integrations
• XDR options: Native vs. open
• Why service providers can support better security outcomes

How to Align Emerging Network Security Tools to Business Needs

Today’s businesses are experiencing digital transformation, with apps moving to the cloud and users working from anywhere. As businesses look to upgrade from traditional on-premises firewalls, it is important to consider how users access resources necessary for their work. Today’s growing remote workforce and increasing number of connected devices requires a modernized approach to access management.

A hybrid solution that leverages your existing on-site devices and technology with managed network security services establishes a stronger security posture. When it comes to protecting your business, it is not just a decision about point products, but determining how to integrate these solutions into your overall security approach.
What is the next step on your journey to security modernization? 

Join us to learn about how you can build upon existing technologies to enable secure access in a hybrid environment. Hear from experts to gain insight on how managed firewall can be paired with modern access management and endpoint protection to create a comprehensive security approach.

Hear from industry expert Nick Cavalancia and Garrett Gross, Director of Field Enablement, from AlienVault as they discuss:
 
- The current state of the ransomware threat
- Common ransomware scenarios, responses, and outcomes
- The opportunity that exists for MSPs to stand in the gap
