Topic: Information Security

  Presented by Tripwire

Security and compliance teams both strive to design, establish, and enforce controls to protect an organization. But even with shared goals in place, security and compliance teams often manage business risk in relative isolation. So how can these teams set aside tension and work better together to create a winning alliance?

In this session, we explore the key differences between security and compliance initiatives. It’s crucial to understand that being fully compliant doesn’t necessarily mean an organization is fundamentally secure. We’ll cover how the two initiatives complement each other when it comes to minimizing risk and how both teams can collaborate to create efficiencies. Attendees will learn how to leverage compliance policies to set the foundation to a robust information security program, while providing true visibility and coverage, consolidating toolsets, and reducing costs. Lastly, we’ll discuss how to ensure that a successful security program can help organizations prepare for an upcoming audit to ultimately achieve and maintain continuous compliance.

In this presentation, we walk through the Anatomy of a Ransomware Attack. Bobby Mazzotti will lead the discussion on best practices and strategies you can apply at your organization. In this webinar, security leaders will learn:

• How to enhance your team’s abilities to identify security incidents
• The key components of a ransomware attack
• Effective ways to improve your security program

Unfortunately, ransomware is here to stay. Ransomware attacks are becoming more profitable, and ransomware-as-a-service operations continue to lower the barriers of entry for more cybercriminals to launch attacks.

Major attacks like Colonial Pipeline have put ransomware in the spotlight, but it’s not enough to simply be aware of ransomware. Security and IT professionals need to take action and be ahead of the curve to prevent ransomware.

Matt Warner, CTO and co-founder of Blumira, a threat detection and response provider, will discuss what security teams should arm themselves with to win the battle against ransomware. He’ll cover:

• An overview of the current ransomware threat landscape
• Security tools and methods to have in your arsenal to detect signs of ransomware
• Suspicious activity to look for in each step of the ransomware kill chain
• How leaning into IT security fundamentals can prevent ransomware outbreaks

Matt has over 10 years of experience in IT and development, focusing on business strategy, development, compliance, threat detection, and penetration testing. Previously, he was Director of Security Services, Development & Security at NetWorks Group, responsible for defensive information security and services.

Organizations spend more money on cyber security tools every year, yet the number of breaches and the cost of these breaches continues to increase. A new approach is needed that relies on autonomous analysis that can respond at machine speed. By embracing automation, AI, and big data analytics, organizations can better prevent threats, find, and detect what is missed, provide contextual linking for forensic and threat hunting ¬– and even more importantly – self-heal and fully recover when necessary.

In the summer of 2020, as the world isolated from a pandemic, threat actors began targeting schools, hospitals, and critical public agencies with ransomware. In April of 2020, as the world transitioned overnight to telework, our agency became one of their early targets. In this case study, audiences will trace the attack and response, gain an understanding of the impact of a ransomware attack, learn about the recovery process, and explore commonalities that will allow them to apply our “lessons learned” to their own operations.

In the immediate aftermath of a ransomware attack, executives too often face a difficult dilemma: either pay a ransom or shut down critical systems and services. In today’s increasingly complex digital ecosystems, the collateral damage that ensues from ransomware attacks can be broad-ranging and destructive, with organizations taking days, weeks, or even months to recover.

But what if there was another way out – a way to surgically contain ransomware in its earliest stages, without disrupting normal business operations? Join this presentation to learn how Cyber AI is helping thousands of organizations fight back against ransomware. We’ll discuss:

• The impact of ‘double-extortion’ ransomware and ‘ransomware-as-a-service’
• Real-world examples of ransomware detected by Cyber AI
• How self-learning AI responds proportionately to ransomware, thanks to its deep understanding of an organization’s pattern of life
