Risky Business: Holiday Weekends are Hazardous for Cybersecurity

Threat actors are launching major attacks during U.S. holidays. This tactic compelled the FBI and CISA to actually issue a joint warning stating, “Cyber actors have conducted increasingly impactful attacks against U.S. entities on or around holiday weekends over the last several months.” Notable examples of this tactic include: •           read more…

Threat actors are launching major attacks during U.S. holidays. This tactic compelled the FBI and CISA to actually issue a joint warning stating, “Cyber actors have conducted increasingly impactful attacks against U.S. entities on or around holiday weekends over the last several months.” Notable examples of this tactic include:

•           The Colonial Pipeline on Mother’s Day

•           JBS Foods on Memorial Day weekend

•           Kaseya on Independence Day

What went wrong? Join Tony Lee as he reviews these major attacks from this past year and provides tips on protecting your organization from holiday hacks.

Whether they are corporate-owned or part of a BYOD policy, mobile devices dominate our world, integrated into the everyday life and work of the modern world.  In this session, we will cover the increased attack surface introduced by these mobile endpoints and the vectors of attack exploited by malicious parties to compromise the devices, steal critical data, and leave enterprises globally at risk. Attendees will also learn about the risks many applications introduce to their mobile employees and data.

Passwordless identities for workforces, customers, and developers

In this Work from Home world, with ongoing migrations to the cloud, and digital transformation projects, controlling which individuals and devices can access a wide range of cloud resources has become a top priority. Simultaneously the massive uptick in ransomware and other attacks that feed off of stolen credentials have prompted cyber insurers to mandate widespread adoption of MFA as a requirement for renewal.  But not all MFA is created equal.  Long-standing MFA pain points such as user inconvenience, complexity and cost are still notable obstacles to MFA adoption. And in a surprising change, the US Government and others are warning companies about “phishable” MFA. Join us for an insightful discussion on requirements for modern MFA and how you can build a trusted authentication architecture that includes both the ‘who’ you as well as ‘what’ device your employees are using. We will also explore how this is a key underpinning for strong Zero Trust strategy-eliminating implicit trust by verifying the user’s identity and checking the security posture of the work issued or BYOD devices before granting access.
