Cato Networks provides organizations with a cloud-based and secure global SD-WAN that replaces rigid and expensive MPLS and network security point products -- to power the digital business. Cato connects all data centers, branches, mobile users, and cloud resources into a global, optimized cloud network that is tightly secured by a cloud-based network security stack and backed by expert managed security services. Cato cuts MPLS costs, improves performance between global locations and to cloud applications, eliminates branch appliances, provides secure Internet access everywhere, and seamlessly integrates mobile users and cloud datacenters into the WAN.

“This is out of scope,” said no hacker ever. Cybercriminals relentlessly aim to breach systems and stay undetected during an attack. In our latest Cybersecurity Masterclass, Cato experts dive into the evolving tactics of threat actors running malware and phishing campaigns, exploring how they evade security tools and researchers.  

We’ll examine the old-school tricks that laid the foundation for today’s sophisticated tactics and examine the modern techniques bad actors use to outsmart defenses, including detailed demonstrations of how they now exploit cloud services and AI. 

Join Etay Maor, Chief Security Strategist, and Tal Darsan, Manager of Cybersecurity Services at Cato Networks, and both members of the Cato CTRL team, to learn: 

Early phishing and malware evasion techniques like verification of credit cards, anti-research methods, proxy checks, and randomized folders 
Modern phishing and evasion strategies, including obfuscated kits, reverse proxy attacks, and randomized URL attributes 
How threat actors leverage cloud services and AI for evasion, with real-world examples 
Steps to detect and mitigate attacks and strategies to reduce your attack surface and strengthen your security posture

Flying Under the Radar – Security Evasion Techniques (Master Class)

ChatGPT has been all over the news in the last couple of months. While AI has been around for a while, ChatGPT (and OpenAI’s Playground) simply allows anyone to interact with the software. This did not go unnoticed by cybercriminals, who are already discussing ways of using the tool to their advantage in underground Russian forums.

In this session, we will show how threat actors can use ChatGPT to help them in different stages of a breach, from creating phishing emails, identifying vulnerabilities, writing malware, and exfiltrating data. We will then show how defenders can use ChatGPT for debugging, understanding security tools, creating reports, predicting an adversary’s next step, and more.

How can threat actors and security teams use ChatGPT to their advantage?

Join Sam Curry, Chief Security Officer at Cybereason, Ofer Maor, Chief Technology Officer at Mitiga, and Etay Maor, Sr. Director of Security Strategy at Cato Networks, to learn about:

How threat actors can use ChatGPT for cyber attacks
How security teams can use ChatGPT to protect from attacks
AI limitations and biases
The legal, privacy, and copyrights challenges that AI presents

Offensive And Defensive AI: Let’s Chat(GPT) About It

We often hear about the two ends of an attack lifecycle – how threat actors gain entry and the resulting impact. But what happens in between? Much of an attack occurs between these two events – on the network. 

With average dwell times exceeding six months until detection, what actions do threat actors take during this period to evade discovery, ensure persistence, and maintain awareness of their location on the network? 

Join Cato’s Security Experts: Dolev Attiya, Staff Security Engineer; Matan Mittelman, Security Research Team Leader; and Etay Maor, Senior Director Security Strategy, as they explore the actions of threat actors on networks. They'll demonstrate the tools, tactics, and techniques used during a breach. Using MITRE ATT&CK as a guideline, the Cato team illustrates each step in detail. 

From Living on the Land (LOL) attacks and network discovery. to lateral movement, persistence, credential dumping, and more – witness an attack unfold!

Network Threats: A Step-by-step Attack Demonstration (Master Class: Episode 17)

Webinar Overview  

Together with Howard Holton, CTO of GigaOm analyst firm, and a 30-year veteran, understand major networking and security challenges faced in enterprise Manufacturing and how the right SASE cloud platform can solve those larger organizational and industry challenges.

Understand how a global, converged cloud-native SASE platform allows manufacturing companies to respond quickly to unplanned events, see improvements in network performance, save 20x the cost on bandwidth and reduce their attack surface to improve their security posture– all while allowing IT ease of setting up configuration and management.

SASE’s Value in Manufacturing

MITRE ATT&CK has become the language defenders use when analyzing adversaries. MITRE’s database of tactics and techniques enables multiple teams, including red-teams, pen testers, threat hunters, and developers, to improve their security defenses. They can share information and then analyze and emulate different adversarial actions.

In this webinar, we will explore the MITRE ATT&CK framework. We will analyze multiple use cases and also unveil its biases and limitations. In addition, we will dive into how MITRE ATT&CK can be used within your SASE solution and see how this will enhance your organization’s security posture.

Join Bill Carter, System Engineer at Cato Networks, Ross Weisman, Innovation Lead at MITRE Center for Threat Informed Defense, and Etay Maor, Sr. Director of Security Strategy at Cato Networks, to learn:

How to operationalize the MITRE ATT&CK framework
What are the MITRE ATT&CK framework’s biases and limitations
Where and when you should use MITRE ATT&CK in your SASE solution
What is MITRE’s Center for Threat Informed Defense, and what are some of its cutting-edge projects

While organizations realize they must deploy zero trust, knowing where to begin and how to deploy has become an impediment for many. The CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) Zero Trust Maturity Model provides organizations with a measurable path to zero trust. 

The Cato SSE 360 architecture is a secure platform that helps facilitate Zero Trust maturity while delivering complete 360-degree protection for users, applications, and data. Join this new webinar to discover how.

Key points this webinar will highlight:  

Key drivers for Zero Trust  
Pillars of the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model 
A mapping of Cato SSE 360 to the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model
Benefits of Cato SSE 360 for accelerating threat responses across the Maturity Model

Achieving Zero Trust Maturity with Cato SSE 360

SD-WAN was originally designed as an MPLS alternative for the branch. But, in a post-pandemic world, it’s just not a good fit for the digital enterprise, coping with cloud DCs and hybrid workers, working far from their regional hub (amongst other reasons).  

Together with AvidThink analyst, Roy Chua, we filmed Don’t Renew Your SD-WAN Contract Before Watching This Webinar. Chua is an SD-WAN expert and independent analyst, with over 20 years of experience in the telco, enterprise, cloud computing, networking, and security space. 

Chua outlines a winning framework to evaluate your existing SD-WAN, assess your current WAN and security challenges, and understand 4 architectural options that address those challenges.
