A Year in Review: Cyber Trends in 2019

The modern workplace is infiltrated everyday -- bring your own device policies and increased vendor access have introduced a whole new layer of cyber risk to the office environment, whether it’s from malicious insider threat, or accidentally bringing an infected device into the corporate environment. As vendor and third party service provider lists grow longer, so too does the list of related breaches. Since no vendor or customer should be automatically trusted,  Zero-Trust frameworks have become more prevalent. How can organizations best protect themselves and their borderless networks? Join LookingGlass’ VP of Product, Eric Olson, and VP of Customer Support Group, James Carnall for a webinar discussing Zero-Trust best practices and war stories at 1 pm ET October 31, 2019.

Attendees are eligible for one hour of CPE Credit.

Own It, Secure It, Protect It: Zero-Trust in the Modern Workplace

Today, it is not enough to protect your assets by collecting high quality threat intelligence – organizations need inline detection and mitigation at line-speed to fully protect themselves from incoming or existing threats on the network. As cybersecurity strategy shifts towards a “Zero Trust” model, your organization needs to ensure that every device, user, workload, or system is being monitored, both within and without your network perimeter. Implementing this model with existing point solutions without creating security gaps is difficult – which is where the Cybersecurity Fabric comes in. With a Cybersecurity Fabric draped over your existing network architecture, each disparate piece of the security stack can now alert the others to defend and protect your organization.

Join LookingGlass Product Owner, Chris Dahlheimer, with Paul Roberts of Security Ledger as they discuss how weaving a strong Cybersecurity Fabric protects your organization by integrating the network protection your organization has already invested in.

Cybersecurity Fabric: The Future of Advanced Threat Response

As we move toward the halfway point in the year, it might be a good time to evaluate the effectiveness of your organization’s security posture. According to CyberEdge’s 2019 Cyberthreat Defense Report, 78% of enterprises were victimized by a successful cyberattack last year. Is your organization next?
 
CyberEdge surveyed 1,200 IT security professionals from 17 countries and 19 industries and learned:
 
-56% of organizations were compromised by ransomware
-45% of ransomware victims paid the ransom
-13% of a typical IT budget is spent on security
-84% of organizations are experiencing an IT security skills shortage
-Malware, ransomware, and spear-phishing cause the most headaches
 
Join LookingGlass’ SVP of Delivery & Support, James Carnall, and CyberEdge’s Co-founder & CEO, Steve Piper, as they review insights from CyberEdge’s sixth-annual research study. They’ll also provide answers to important questions, such as:
 
-What are the weakest links in current security postures?
-What’s standing in the way of IT security professionals?
-What are the hottest security technologies for 2019?

Cyber State of Mind: 2019 Threat Landscape Review

Vendors, suppliers, and independent subsidiaries are gaining more and more access to your network and sensitive data because today’s business models include outsourcing of non-mission critical programs and tasks, which brings a whole new world of risk to your organization. These not so new cyber risks make traditional perimeter defense no longer enough. Companies need continuous visibility and monitoring of their external partners threat landscapes. Use a cyber situational awareness platform that provides you with a map of your cyber risks you can identify vulnerabilities before the adversary does. 
 
In this webinar, LookingGlass Product Manager, Brandon Dobrec and Security Ledger Editor-in-Chief, Paul Roberts will discuss what you need to assess vendors in the modern cyber environment, providing you with the right map to assess your external risk.
 
This webinar will answer:
 
- Why point-in-time scorecards are a necessary component of third party risk management, but are woefully inadequate for proactively defending against future attacks 

- How a cyber situational platform delivers an outside-in view of your network, allowing you to see gaps in your network 

- Tools, capabilities, features, and functionalities are needed to assess vendor risk – continuous monitoring, alerting, reporting, and dynamic collection & scoring, among others

- Common attack vectors, why these vectors remain open, and what attack vectors are emerging regularly

The Round the Clock Third Party Advantage

Cyber threats are becoming more frequent and more targeted. Bad actors are more adept at social engineering and investigating your network and infrastructure to understand your organization’s cyber strengths and weaknesses. Security teams need to focus on who or what will seek to exploit them and how they are likely to do so, instead of being hyper-focused on just the threat itself.
 
This webinar delves into how one of the world's top financial services firms developed and implemented a robust threat model capable of repelling the world's most sophisticated hackers and nation-state actors. Join LookingGlass Product Manager, Dan Martin, and Security Ledger Editor-in-Chief, Paul Roberts for an introduction to ScoutThreat™, a threat management platform that helps security analysts streamline threat analysis work and extract the maximum value from threat intelligence. 
 
In this webinar you will learn:
- Advantages of modeling adversaries to get ahead of threats to your IT environment
- Structuring threat models to account for a myriad of sophisticated cyber risks
- How to overcome hurdles in creating robust threat models that address real-world risks
- How ScoutThreat can help you build a proactive security posture

Proactive Cybersecurity: Modeling Adversarial Behavior

It’s 2018 and threat actors continue to leverage the same tactics – phishing, ransomware, botnets, etc. – against their targets. They’ve using the same techniques for years, yet it’s still working. Do we sound like a broken record yet? 
 
With October being National Cyber Security Awareness Month, it’s an ideal time to re-evaluate the cyber threat landscape and your cybersecurity hygiene. Topics like fake news, privacy, and the Internet of Things are “hot” topics in mainstream culture, and you need to know their impacts on your organization.
 
Join LookingGlass’ Senior Vice President of Product, Eric Olson, and Vice President of Customer Support, James Carnall, in a lively discussion about the hottest cybersecurity topics and what your organization can do to protect itself against them. Wednesday, October 24 @ 2PM ET.

This webinar will also cover:
·         Business Email Compromise (BEC)
·         Single Sign-On and Password Managers
·         Information Warfare
·         Third Party Risk

Through the LookingGlass: Top Trends to Keep Your Organization Cyber Aware

It’s 2018 – why are we still manually blocking firewall ports, manually ingesting threat feeds, and manually implementing blocks from well-known, trusted sources? Automation and integration allows security professionals to keep up with the pace of today’s threat landscape. The two go hand in hand but are they right for every organization?

This webcast explores the pros and cons of automation and integration, focusing on what an organization needs to consider before implementing such an approach. Most important, the webcast and associated white paper will help answer these key questions:

What would it take to manually do what automation does?
How can I protect my assets?
How do I get actionable threat intelligence?

The Need for Speed: Integrated Threat Response

Traditional cybersecurity leads with a “block & tackle” strategy. But as threats become more complex, targeted, and sophisticated, security operations centers (SOC) require a better understanding of how threats beyond the perimeter interact with their network. Join IDC special guest, Research Director Chris Kissel and LookingGlass Product Manager Brandon Dobrec in a discussion on modern-day SOC needs for a threat platform that marries automated intelligence tradecraft with the human element.

The Modern SOC: Automated Intelligence Tradecraft and the Human Element

In the highly dynamic online landscape of misinformation, fake news, gossip, and the trading of absconded data, organizations must expand their cybersecurity arsenals in protecting their brands, personnel, facilities, and sensitive information. They must take into account what exists outside the perimeter in the greater cyber ecosystem: the surface, dark, and deep web. Locating and assessing these threats, however, is a challenge for even experienced threat hunters. The tools and techniques are non-standard. You should ask yourself, “Is my security team ready to tackle what lies beyond the perimeter?” If not, let us shed light on this topic. Register for LookingGlass' "Threats Beyond the Perimeter" webinar on Tuesday, July 17 @ 2 pm ET to hear Michael Suby, VP of Research at Frost & Sullivan and James Carnall, VP of Customer Support Group at LookingGlass discuss how these scenarios may affect your brand, employees, and facilities.

Reducing Risk by Examining Threats that are Forming in the Cyber Ecosystem

Cyber threat intelligence – when properly gathered, refined, and applied – can help organizations identify business risks and target both protections and mitigations. But what distinguishes high-quality and actionable threat intelligence from low-quality security "noise"? How are cutting edge CISOs and IT security teams applying threat intelligence to respond to incidents and slam shut windows of compromise? 
 
Find out in this webinar moderated by Paul Roberts, the Editor in Chief at The Security Ledger. Paul will be joined by LookingGlass’ Brandon Dobrec, and counter threat intelligence & vulnerability research expert Chris Roberts. Together they will review the value of threat intelligence to organizations, discuss how cutting edge firms are using threat intelligence to their advantage, and review how to orchestrate threat intelligence to automate mitigation and combat third party risk. 
 
Tune in on Tuesday, June 26 @ 1PM ET!!
