Ransomware attacks are on the rise and are estimated to cost global organizations $20 billion. As ransomware attacks become more targeted and more damaging, your organization faces increased risk that can leave your networks down for days or even weeks. So, how can your organization avoid getting held hostage?

Join Erich Kron CISSP, Security Awareness Advocate at KnowBe4, as he looks at concerning features of new ransomware strains, provides actionable info that you need to prevent infections, and gives you tips on what to do when you are hit with ransomware.

In this webcast we will cover:

•  What new scary ransomware strains are in the wild
•  Am I infected?
•  I’m infected, now what?
•  Proven methods of protecting your organization
•  How to create your human firewall

Don’t get held hostage by ransomware and become a statistic!

Mobile workforces were already an increasing trend in business even before we all had to deal with sending our teams home during the pandemic. As many of us work through our return to office plans with hope in our hearts, it is clear that the remote work trend has intensified and will likely continue to do so in the future.

Remote work has challenged traditional security approaches and forced us to think harder about how we can best support the changing nature of work. Thankfully, many of the technology, process and people changes needed to support remote workers have significant benefits in our overall security posture.

For this session, we’ll talk about some trends our security operations center saw in remote work environments and their impact on security operations, discuss some theory around how to plan and support these workers and talk a bit about technologies approaches that may help your organization support these workers better while improving your overall security posture.

When attacks make headlines, panicked board members have one question for CISOs: how can we be sure that won’t happen to us? CISOs must be prepared to lead board-level conversations about risk management amidst the stark new realities of IT.

Join this virtual boardroom to discuss:

• Achieving alignment across the board
• Building a “roadmap to yes”
• Focusing on risk and reward for core business objectives

Today, 94% of cyber-threats still originate in the inbox. ‘Impersonation attacks’ are on the rise, as artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to automatically generate spear-phishing emails, or ‘digital fakes’, that expertly mimic the writing style of trusted contacts and colleagues.

Humans can no longer distinguish real from fake on their own – businesses are increasingly turning to AI to distinguish friend from foe and fight back with autonomous response.

In an era when thousands of documents can be encrypted in minutes, ‘immune system’ technology takes action in seconds – stopping cyber-threats before damage is done.

Find out how in this session.

Join Sion Retzkin, CISO & Head of Knowledge & Practice, Pcysys to learn how to:

• Build up your cyber resilience with continuous risk validation

• Prioritize remediation efforts with a threat-facing perspective

• Increase the productivity of your security teams

In this webinar you will learn:

• How to maximize existing security controls, security capabilities, and investments
• Pragmatic application of zero-trust principles to traditional and SaaS environments
• What’s new in tactics and strategies for protecting hybrid environments

Data breaches grab headlines. Good security is steady. As organizations expand their perimeter beyond the firewall through software-as-a-service (SaaS) and hybrid applications, it becomes more important than ever to have a strategy covering user access regardless of location. But alongside developments in new tools, data privacy laws have also developed and add to compliance requirements for managing these data and tool. Meanwhile, modernization efforts are introducing new risks as well. While many industries have adopted zero-trust strategies to address these challenges of the expanded perimeter, many admins remain wary of this trend and question if it is a fit for environments which often have a hefty legacy technology footprint.

However, many of these “new” strategies remain firmly rooted in tried-and-true best practices admins have followed for decades. The principles of logical segmentation, least-permissive access, economy of mechanism, adaptive policy controls, and strong authentication are simply evolving to accommodate new use cases rather than being replaced. Join this session with Duo Security Advisory CISO Wolfgang Goerlich for a grounded discussion of the unique needs and concerns for modern IT teams based on real-world examples, and how concepts like device trust and context-aware access can improve security design without leaving crucial inherited or legacy systems out in the cold.
