Just when it looked like the ransomware epidemic might be peaking, ChatGPT and similar generative AI tools took a big leap forward. Opportunistic cybercriminals quickly jumped on these tools to make their ransomware attacks more frequent, more devious and more effective. As usual, that leaves cybersecurity and IT operations leaders scrambling to find a response, lest they become the next victim of a massive service outage, data breach and extortion demand. And as ever, knowing your enemy is a useful starting point in crafting your plan to fight back.

Attendees will leave this event with:

• An up-to-the-minute refresh on the 2023 cyberthreat landscape
• An understanding of how generative AI tools improve the effectiveness of ransomware attacks
• Practical advice on modifying both your cyber defenses and response/recovery capabilities for AI-enhanced cyberthreats
• Presented live by featured speaker James Slaby and Mark Bermingham. Moderated by Michael Krieger

Cyber attackers are increasingly stealing user credentials and waltzing right into enterprise networks. Once in, they can move laterally to other internal systems and gain access to a wide variety of applications and privileged systems. In this webinar, experts discuss methods for recognizing anomalous and unauthorized behavior among trusted users, and how to prevent those 'users' from gaining access to critical information. You'll also learn how to limit trusted users from accessing systems or gaining privileges that their roles don't require them to have.

During this webinar you will:

• Learn the risk associated with credential compromise and how to minimize it
• Find out how to spot suspicious network behavior before it gets to critical data
• Get advice for protecting user accounts within the organization with the most privileged access

Presented live by featured speakers Jake Williams and Joseph Carson.

Cyber experts agree: end-user authentication needs more than the simple password. But what are the right tools and strategies for authentication in your organization? What does the world of passwordless look like for your organization?

During this webinar you will:

• Learn the limitations of the password for user authentication in today's cybersecurity climate
• Look at how the modern enterprise can operate more securely without traditional passwords
• Explore options to help decide the best multi-factor authentication strategy for your environment

DDoS attacks are making a comeback! Only that now they are motivated by politics, not money, and use sophisticated L7 attack vectors to bypass traditional network DDoS defenses.

In this talk we will discuss:

• How the conflict between Russia and Ukraine led to a realignment of the DDoS threat landscape
• Examples of some recent DDoS attacks, and how they illustrate the new risks
• Why DDoS attacks are increasingly shifting to the application layer, and what makes them so difficult to stop
• What measures security professionals can take to protect their organizations against web DDoS attacks

Presented live by featured speakers Eyal Arazi and Fernando Montenegro.

IT organizations are now trying to apply guardrails that enable applications to be deployed securely without slowing down the pace at which they are deployed and updated. The challenge and the opportunity now is to determine what tools and platforms will enable organizations to achieve that goal in a way that both cybersecurity professionals and application developers can both easily accept.

Speakers:

• TSVI KORREN Field CTO - Aqua Security
• MIKE VIZARD - Chief Content Officer - Techstrong Group

Executives want to know whether they should worry about an attack that hit another organization. They worry how safe they are from a breach. But it can be difficult for security teams to quantitatively measure risk, or even say with certainty exactly how an attack or breach would affect the business.

During this webinar you will:

• Learn why it's crucial to develop an organization-wide definition of 'risk'
• Get practical advice about how to quantify and explain cybersecurity in terms of business risk for a management-level audience
• Explore the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in assessing and protecting the enterprise attack surface

In this webinar, Javier Garcia Quintela, Global CISO of Repsol, a Global 2000 multi-energy company with 24,000 employees, will discuss how his organization is:

• Using automation, analytics, and threat intelligence to reduce the risk of ransomware, data breaches, and insider threats.

• Implementing both on-premises and cloud-native SIEMs, combined with multiple data lakes to collect and analyze telemetry from diverse sources including endpoint, network, email, identity, cloud, and OT security monitoring solutions.

• Leveraging CardinalOps' detection posture management platform to continuously assess its MITRE ATT&CK coverage and eliminate gaps caused by missing or misconfigured detections for the latest threats and APT groups most relevant to the organization.

With enterprises increasingly shifting workloads to the cloud, they face different challenges including managing and securing user identities, as well as a web of machine identities. How do you map all of the identities that now reside in the cloud - some crisscrossing multi-cloud environments? How can you prevent permissions 'sprawl' in the cloud? How do you manage identities in a hybrid cloud environment?

During this webinar you will:

• Get a an overview of the modern cloud attack surface
• Find out how organizations are implementing identity access management (IAM) for users and devices
• Learn how cyber attackers are exploiting cloud vulnerabilities to breach on-prem environments

Presented live by featured speakers Jonathan Care and Wade Ellery. Moderated by Becky Bracken.

From identifying the potential attack surface to determining policy, there is a clear path to zero trust and best practices to make the transition as smooth as possible - both for your organization and your customers. Zero trust is more than a technology upgrade, it's a rethink of the old way of conducting cybersecurity operations.

During this webinar you will:

• Drill down to a clear definition of what a zero trust is - and isn't.
• Determine benchmarks to assess where your organization is on its own zero trust journey
• Get insights into the role of policy controls within a zero trust environment

It seems like a new IT or cybersecurity acronym is born every two days, but no one wakes up saying, 'I need to solve my XMPFSCLR problem.' Instead, IT and security teams have to translate acute, urgent challenges into industry category-speak just to understand what tools can solve their problems.

Attendees will learn:

• What CAASM and SSPM solutions do and the problems they intend to solve
• How a comprehensive view of all assets and the controls that manage and secure them gives both IT and security teams the ability to better evaluate and prioritize attack surface risk
• How Axonius customers approach the problem
