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

2023 AT&T Cybersecurity Insights Report: Edge Ecosystem

Cybersecurity threats have been growing year on year, with 2022 seeing ransomware attacks increase by 87% against industrial organizations, according to a Dragos report. These breaches can come at a high cost if successful; ransomware extortion totalled $456.8 million in 2022, after a high of $765.6 million in 2021. But is cyber insurance the answer?

Unlike other forms of insurance, cyber insurance language is not standardized and this can lead to significant variations in policy coverage. Certain offenses, like cyber warfare, are often excluded from coverage, while individual insurers may disagree on what constitutes an approved “loss event.” Yet is it worse to be left without any protection at all?

In the latest installment of the BrightTALK Original series CISO Insights, industry experts will look at how to navigate the question of cyber insurance in 2023.

Tune in to hear more about:
— The real stakes of cyber security right now

Securing the new everywhere workplace in a 5G enabled world

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

Zero Trust is a strategic and critical framework to continuously validate every stage of a digital interaction – from verifying and validating people as well as verifying and validating things on the edge while eliminating implicit trust.

Businesses have a variety of connectivity choices and strategically build out those architectures to meet their needs of performance, security, and outcomes. Regardless of connectivity architecture – a branch connected via 5G-based SD-WAN or a private 5G network for manufacturing facilities – Zero Trust will help secure 5G edge environments. A Zero Trust framework is part of securing the edge and a new era of compute that is untethered to heritage systems and brings teams closer together.
