With this kind of flexibility, there are also many approaches to implementing attack surface management. In this final session, we’ll discuss tips for implementing attack surface management. We will also share best practices for organizations using attack surface management to monitor themselves and third parties or suppliers. Participants will walk away with a checklist to successfully leverage when implementing attack surface management.
Increasing efforts to modernize and digitally transform business operations means it’s easy for organizations to lose track of their assets, or not know about assets acquired by business or operating units (“shadow IT”). But how can you protect what you don’t know about? That’s why understanding your attack surface is critical. In this session, Looking Glass cybersecurity expert, Cody Pierce, will discuss what an “attack surface” is, how to determine your digital footprint, and why your organization’s attack surface is likely growing rapidly. He will also share how managing your attack surface by taking the adversary’s view – a different perspective than most cyber defense strategies – is critical to identifying assets, maintaining effective inventory, and prioritizing mitigations. In this session, you’ll learn: • What attack surface management is and why it’s important • How attack surface management can fit into your existing cybersecurity program • Use cases where attack surface management can inform, optimize, and enhance a variety of cyber operations

We will then shift gears to the cyber range, which will emulate a real-world SOC and demonstrate how IR experts can successfully investigate and eradicate a ransomware attack. The session will combine the C-level, decision-making challenges encountered in a ransomware crisis with a hands-on, ransomware investigation simulated in a cyber range. The simulation allows you, as the audience, to impact the flow of the scenario by providing your suggested actions while our experienced instructor will provide you with helpful tips.
In the last year alone, the number of supply chain attacks has grown exponentially as they offer threat actors stealthy, scalable, and privileged access to your organization’s on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environment. Addressing supply chain attacks requires a multi-layered defense strategy in which third-party integrations are audited, endpoints are monitored for post-compromise actions, and an Incident Response plan that considers supply risks is put in place to minimize the overall impact to your organization. On May 10, 2022, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern/10:00 a.m. Pacific (ISC)² and Sumo Logic share insights from original threat research and supply chain attacks to demonstrate how multi-signal investigations can effectively secure your organization against supply chain attacks. Key takeaways from the webinar include: • The three primary attack vectors that cybercriminals rely on to launch supply chain attacks against organizations • The challenges that organizations face related to supply chain risk (e.g., technical complexity, access requirements, stealth of cyberattacks) and how they impact business operations • Tactical and high-level strategic recommendations on how your organization can minimize supply chain risk and reduce the attacker dwell times and impact • How 24/7 log monitoring and management can improve cyber resilience and prevent zero-day threats • A case study on how original research and curated threat intelligence conduct stronger post-exploitation investigations.
Cyber-attacks continue to plague the healthcare industry as threat actors leverage new trends and evolve their attack surface. Their primary focus is still attacking messaging tools with obtaining user credentials being the nirvana state for would be threat actors. Once the credentials are obtained, the attack options are numerous with ransomware, imposter email, supply chain fraud, and data extraction being the primary area of focus. On May 18, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern/ 10:00 a.m. Pacific, Proofpoint and (ISC)² discuss how these exploits are currently impacting healthcare, the favored attacks being deployed by threat actors, and outline practical mitigating strategies healthcare institutions can implement to optimally defend themselves.
Cybersecurity teams are fighting a losing battle trying to keep up with complex business requirements and the expanding attack surface. Although traditional security controls and MSSPs (managed security service providers) were once effective, they are no match for the growing speed and sophistication of modern threats. Unfortunately, you can’t protect your organization from cyber threats if you don’t have complete visibility across your attack surface. Even if your team utilizes a global threat hunting and threat intelligence team, they must be armed with data correlation and contextualization capabilities across multiple signals (e.g., endpoint, log, network, cloud) to effectively contain and remediate advanced persistent threats. Join eSentire and (ISC)² May 19, 2022 at 1:00 p.m., Eastern/10:00 a.m. Pacific to hear how threat intelligence teams can use data from multiple signal sources for enhanced threat detection, investigation, and response. Learn more about: • What multi-signal data correlation and contextualization means in the context of threat intelligence and threat hunting • Mapping tactics and techniques threat actors use to fulfill their objectives back to each phase of the overall attack workflow • Deep dive into how eSentire’s Threat Response Unit (TRU) used data from log, endpoint, and network to build detection content for threats like Log4j and Cobalt Strike • How threat intelligence teams can adopt a multi-signal approach to enrich their detection engineering content
As the old adage goes “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” A holistic application security (AppSec) program is essential for validating your applications’ security. AppSec experts perform a variety of security assessments that identify your software’s flaws and vulnerabilities. These bugs are then prioritized for remediation according to their severity and in accordance with your unique risk profile. In this webinar May 24, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern/10:00 a.m. Pacific, Synopsys and (ISC)² will focus on how you can mature your AppSec program with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) in mind. You will learn how to • Establish an AppSec program that meets or exceeds PCI requirements • Leverage the OWASP and NIST frameworks • Perform thorough code review, pen testing, and vulnerability assessments
Denial of service attacks became larger and more complex in 2021 with peak attack bandwidth now more than five times larger than it was in 2020. From disgruntled customers, to organized cybercrime and even modern day cyber warfare, DDoS attacks are still a go-to for many threat actors with effects of successful denial of service attacks ranging from temporary disruption of an online event to outages of critical infrastructure. Increasingly, DDoS attacks also used by cybercrime gangs to coerce payments of ransomware demands. While DDoS mitigation services are getting better at deflecting large volumetric DDoS attacks, the shift in tactics to focus on protocol and application DDoS makes mitigation a more complex task. On June 14, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern/10:00 a.m. Pacific (ISC)² and F5 Labs discuss the F5 DDoS Trends report which analyzed thousands of attacks over the past two years to uncover how DDoS attacks are changing. We will showcase which industry sectors are most frequently attacked, which suffer the largest and most complex attacks, and some of the relevant security controls which can be employed to counter the growing threat. Join this webinar to learn: -What the most common forms of DDoS attacks are -Which industries are most effected -How attackers are building botnets and changing tactics -How to use the MITRE ATT&CK framework to map effective security controls
Having a strongly aligned and integrated ecosystem of cyber tech and tools is required to protect and preserve the business in today’s digital infrastructures. Over the last several years, more and more traffic has migrated from plaintext protocols to encrypted protocols. While this provides better privacy and security, it also makes it more difficult to troubleshoot this traffic when problems inevitably arise. Although security and network monitoring tools can still analyze some encrypted traffic without decryption, lots of details cannot be analyzed adequately. This session, sponsored by Netscout and hosted by (ISC)² on July 26, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern/10:00 a.m. Pacific, will show how integrating decryption with NDR solutions can provide an even more robust monitoring experience. To further the dialogue regarding a healthy cybersecurity solution ecosystem, this session will also explore the critical aspects to integrating NDR with EDR, SIEM and SOAR technologies.
Cyberattacks continue to challenge many organizations. With a growing attack surface, limited access to expensive security talent, frustration with managed security service providers (MSSPs), and constrained budgets, leading security and IT leaders are looking for alternatives like managed detection and response (MDR) services to help reduce their risks. There are many options for security service providers, and with all the options, it may be hard to choose the best for your needs. Join Pondurance’s Chief Strategy Officer, Lyndon Brown, as he clears the fog around MDR and will discuss: -The biggest cybersecurity challenges for mid-market and enterprise organizations. -The difference between a SIEM, MSSP, XDR, MDR and Modern MDR Components of MDR and how to choose the right provider for your organization.
Ransomware gangs know a good thing when they see it. That's why 80% of ransomware victims experience repeated attacks. After dealing with the tedious restoration process, the cost of downtime, and the stress of extortion, victims’ incident responders need network forensic insights to close the door on a repeat performance. In this demo-filled webinar, an expert threat hunter will show you how to use network detection and response (NDR) to close the door on future IT infrastructure ransomware damage. We’ll show you how NDR can use tamper-proof network data to: • Quickly scope the impacted systems and compromised data • Investigate historic traffic records to find the root cause, and close it for good • Stay vigilant for future indicators of ransomware pivoting toward your data • Collect the evidence you need to protect your organization during disclosure
In recent months, major incidents such as the attack related to SolarWinds has led organizations to reevaluate their cyber security strategy. Governments and municipalities in particular, who are facing threats from increasingly professional threat-actors, need robust and adaptive defenses to secure critical data and infrastructure. While traditional tools rely on rules and signatures to spot signs of known threats, cyber-criminals continue to innovate and circumvent these defenses with new tools, techniques, and procedures. For this reason Cyber AI is becoming increasingly critical for its ability to understand ‘normal’, and detect and respond to subtle deviations indicative of a cyber-threat. Join Darktrace and (ISC)2 on July 27, 2021 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern/10:00 a.m. Pacific as Darktrace’s Director of Strategic Threat, Marcus Fowler explores: o The unique challenges facing the digital infrastructures of cities and nations o Top cyber incidents of 2021 and what they show us about government cyber-risk o Case studies of Darktrace municipal customers
Supply Chain attacks, Zero-Days, and Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are effective because they target the trust models traditional security products were built on. The result is a post-compromise world where traditional IDS technology is looking in the wrong direction based on outdated assumptions to detect and stop modern attacks. Join John Oltsik from ESG and ExtraHop experts to learn how machine learning NG-IDS gives you back the edge against Advanced Threats : · Why Advanced Threats require a post-compromise posture · How time has been unkind to that noisy 90s IDS · How to fill IDS compliance gaps and increase security efficacy · How NG-IDS stops Advanced Threats before they do real damage
Cyber attacks are at an all-time high and threat actors are becoming more sophisticated in their attempts. When considering today’s trends (and threats) in the industry, three recurring themes often come up amongst Cybersecurity professionals: the continued growth of ‘double extortion’ ransomware attacks, the increased risk that employee identity theft poses to organizations, and the additional fallout from supply chain attacks. Join Aura, NXTsoft, and (ISC)2 on April 15, 2021 at 1:00 PM Eastern as we discuss these three cyber threat trends and different ways you can address them within your organization.
Responding to an incident takes more than theoretical knowledge.
