ISC2 Security Briefings brings attendees both stand alone webcasts and multi-part series on cutting edge infosecurity topics that gets deeper into the subject matter and technologies presented by subject matter experts.

In October 2023, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a civil complaint against SolarWinds and its CISO, Timothy Brown.  The charges stemmed from the September 2019 intrusion by threat actors into SolarWinds, which affected some 18,000 customers.  This action by the SEC is likely the first time the agency targeted a CISO for alleged cybersecurity failures.  It comes on the heels of the October 2022 criminal conviction of Uber CSO Joe Sullivan for withholding information about a 2016 breach at Uber from federal investigators.  All of this raises an important issue for CISOs: Should they have their own legal counsel to guide them on legal compliance and working with regulatory agencies?  And if so, who should pay – them, or their employers?  In this presentation by cybersecurity attorneys, we’ll take a deep dive into the hard choices that modern CISOs face and some possible ways forward. 

Takeaways include:

·            Evaluating the SolarWinds and Uber cases and the claims against the CISOs
·            Understanding at what point a CISO needs to hire independent legal counsel 
·            Exploring the various types of insurance and why your policy may be the wrong one

Do CISOs Need Their Own Legal Counsel?  Some Lessons from SolarWinds and Uber

Has your organization jumped on the passwordless authentication bandwagon yet? If not, it should. Passwordless authentication embraces possession factors, such as certificates and hardware tokens, and inherence factors, such as fingerprints and face scans, to replace legacy password and single sign-on (SSO) authentication methods. It also strengthens your organization’s security posture while improving the user experience for accessing company applications and data. Join Steve Piper, Founder & CEO of CyberEdge (and proud CISSP), as he reviews modern passwordless authentication technologies and the benefits organizations have achieved by implementing them.

Passwordless Authentication: A New Reality or a Pipe Dream?

With companies adopting hybrid models—some employees working from home, others in multiple offices—managing data access has become increasingly complex.

CDK. Colonial Pipeline. UnitedHealth Group. What do all these companies have in common? They have all been subject to recent headline-making cyberattacks impacting the global product supply chain. Cyber incidents such as these can wreak havoc – preventing orders/payments, interrupting service, and in some cases cause detriment to human health and safety. 
 
There is no way to ignore that the vast majority of businesses rely on third-party partnerships to maintain their day-to-day operations. From a business perspective, third-party partnerships are seen as ways of reducing costs, creating efficiencies and enhancing access to goods and service. From a cyber perspective, they must be viewed as another threat surface. If your third-party partner is attacked – your data and business may be impacted as well.  
 
Join this panel of experts as they discuss and debate:
·         The underlying causes of most supply chain cybersecurity failures.
·         How to assess how secure your partners are against cyberattacks. 
·         The value of strong business continuity procedures.
·         Success stories/case studies in reducing third party cyber risk exposure.

Ransomware and Third-Party Global Supply Chains: Understanding & Mitigating Risks

Artificial intelligence (AI) has bolstered cybersecurity solutions across the board.

Compromising end user computing devices through spear phishing attacks is frequently cited as the initial step of advanced persistent threats, often leading to data breaches. Year after year, IT security professionals cite “low security awareness among employees” as a top inhibitor to IT security’s success in CyberEdge’s annual Cyberthreat Defense Report. So, why aren’t more security teams adequately addressing this challenge? Join Steve Piper, Founder & CEO of CyberEdge (and proud CISSP), as he details five ways to invest in your company’s human firewalls.

The ‘Hottest’ IT Security Technologies in 2024

Google and Yahoo announced a new set of requirements for email delivery last October, resulting in a rapid increase of DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance) authentication adoption. However, meeting DMARC requirements is just the beginning. Impersonation risk remains — in the form of spoofed emails, brand abuse and threats from fake or compromised suppliers. Hijacked business communications often lead to significant financial losses and reputation damage. So how can your organization further mitigate impersonation risk even after you achieve DMARC compliance?  

Join Proofpoint and ISC2 on July 18, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern/10:00 a.m. Pacific as we discuss: 
-Common impersonation tactics and real-world attack examples  
-Challenges and benefits of enforcing email authentication  
-Risks posed by impersonated suppliers  
-How AI is affecting threats like business email compromise (BEC) 
-Critical controls that help reduce impersonation risk

Beyond DMARC: Best Practices for Impersonation  Protection

Denial of service (DoS) attacks more than doubled in 2023 compared with previous years. Attack size, frequency, and sophistication, have all increased which suggests that DDoS is far from being a solved problem.  

Gobal geopolitical tensions rose dramatically during 2023 and, by no coincidence, so too did the quantity and ferocity of DDoS attacks. After a small but steady decline in denial-of-service attacks during 2022 and prior, 2023 saw an explosion of incidents many of which can be directly linked to political events and growing hacktivism. While many DDoS attacks are short lived inconveniences, many organizations and countries face persistent bombardment and increasingly sophisticated attacks. It begs the question: do organizations accurately evaluate the risk posed by DDoS attacks? 

Join F5 and ISC2 July 11, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern/10:00 a.m. Pacific as we discuss the findings from F5 Labs' annual DDoS report. Join this threat research driven webinar to ...  

-Understand how and why DDoS attacks have grown, and the tools and techniques used by threat actors 

-Explore the differences between regions and industries to understand how and why some are more targeted that others 

-Learn about effective mitigation strategies and the questions you should be asking of your DDoS protection solution
