Ransomware has been a dominant cybersecurity threat for the better part of the last decade. However, it doesn’t walk alone. It’s almost always the eventual payload delivered by earlier-stage malicious software or activity. Luckily, if you can detect the threats that deliver the ransomware, you can stop the ransomware before it arrives.

In this talk, we’ll extensively reference Red Canary’s 2022 Threat Detection Report, examining the malware and other malicious tools that adversaries often use to deliver ransomware. While the specific trojans and strains of ransomware may change from one attack to the next, adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures are often similar across campaigns and threats. By developing robust detection coverage for the techniques adversaries abuse most often, rather than focusing on individual threats, security teams can achieve defense-in-depth against the many threats that leverage those techniques and the broader trends that dominate the infosec landscape.

Want to learn more about the prevalent adversary techniques and threats that can lead to a ransomware infection? Attendees will leave with:

• A better understanding of the threats and tools that commonly precede a ransomware infection
• Guidance on relevant collection and data sources that offer visibility into the threats and techniques that adversaries use to deliver ransomware
• Actionable information on how security teams can develop the capacity to detect, prevent, and mitigate ransomware and other threats
• Strategies for testing their ability to observe and detect common threats with free and easy-to-use tools like Atomic Red Team

In the face of skyrocketing cyber risk, detecting and responding to attacks is no longer enough. Organizations must take proactive steps to prevent threats before they happen and to recover if compromised. In this session, we’ll unveil an ambitious new approach to security, with core engines powering AI technologies to prevent, detect, respond, and ultimately heal from attacks. Together, these engines combine to strengthen organizations’ security posture in a virtuous AI feedback ‘loop,’ which provides powerful end-to-end, bespoke, and self-learning solutions unique to each organization.

If an attack happens and it makes it all the way to your data, then they have already broken through all of your walls. Where your data lives IS your last line of defense, which is why the Armed Forces that protects the USA trusts Hitachi to protect them. Prevention is great and all but without that last line of defense, you’re a sitting duck. Attend this session to learn how Hitachi serves as your last line of defense against ransomware attacks.

While the future economic impact on IT budgets is unclear, one thing is clear: attackers will not slow down and may even ramp up knowing organizations are considering lowering IT and cybersecurity spending. It is clear enterprise security is of extreme importance and making investments stretch is going to become essential. Core network services you already have in place, including DNS, DHCP, and IPAM (IP Address Management) are often overlooked in the cybersecurity world but can become the most powerful weapon against attackers. During this session, you will learn how to leverage existing services to:

• Reduce the burden on existing security investments, extending their capacity and lifespan
• Combat up to 92% of malware and ransomware without new security tools
• Decrease SecOps investigation time by up to 60%
• Improve your security posture, lowering cyber insurance costs

When searching for vulnerable targets, cyber hackers do not care how big or small your company is. As world events continue to unfold in China and Russia, cyber warfare has become a national threat to American companies.

Join Arctic Wolf’s session to learn how IT leaders can be proactive, rather than reactive to protect their companies from cyber hackers.

Despite consistent increases in security spending, ransomware remains an ever-growing threat to businesses. Surprisingly, the ransomware itself, the malware that does the encryption, is only a part of a larger, equally dangerous, attack chain. Considering the entire chain offers defenders more opportunities to thwart the attack before mass encryption can occur.

In this session, we’ll provide details on how microsegmentation can prevent adversarial techniques that precede and follow the deployment of ransomware itself. By turning our attention to the entire kill chain, a path towards minimizing the likelihood, impact, and recovery time of ransomware becomes clear.

In this session you will learn:

• Practical steps you can take to disrupt the kill chain before ransomware can be deployed
• How to leverage AI to map complex environments and expedite the path towards policy enforcement that drastically reduces the impact of ransomware
• How advancements in host-based segmentation are helping businesses achieve an infrastructure that enables rapid remediation of ransomware events without disrupting business operations
