In a world where critical infrastructure is increasingly reliant on digital technologies, cybersecurity for OT (Operational Technology) and ICS (Industrial Control Systems) has become a crucial factor. In this webinar, we will discuss, among other topics, the significance of Red Teaming as part of a comprehensive security strategy.

Topics Covered include:

- Industrial cybersecurity, and why is it so important
- The types of OT attacks that have occurred in the past
- The challenges industrial cybersecurity face today
- Solutions and best practices available for protecting OT/ICS systems
- The role Red Teaming plays in a comprehensive security strategy

Together, we will analyze the challenges of industrial cybersecurity and present concrete solutions to address them.

Industrial Cybersecurity: Red Teaming as Part of a Comprehensive Security Strategy

Security operations is notoriously difficult and most organizations fall short of their expected security outcomes when it comes to threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR). Why is that? There’s the standard answers of lack of data and context, limited attacker insight, and manual and complex processes. But there’s an additional challenge - the ability to use metrics to demonstrate the value that security teams bring to the larger organization.

Security leaders have struggled to identify metrics that demonstrate the value that the SOC delivers and how it performs, as the standard metric of success in the SOC is avoiding a breach or stopping it quickly. Thanks to the vast array of tools security pros use everyday, it’s also very difficult to build a system to properly track metrics in the SOC.

So how do you choose the metrics that matter? Join Google’s Anton Chuvakin and guest speaker, Forrester’s Allie Mellen and dig into the paradox of metrics; the easy metrics versus the metrics you really want, why we can’t agree on metric recommendations and more.

The SOC Metrics that Matter…or Do They?

Cyber defense is not just about preventing attacks; it's also about effectively responding to and recovering from incidents. This webinar will focus on the critical cyber defense functions of Validation, Response, and Mission Control, examining how they contribute to a comprehensive and resilient cyber defense program.

*How to rigorously test and validate your entire cyber defense program to identify areas of improvement, and ensure preparedness against real-world threats.
*How to build and implement an effective incident response plan, from preparation and containment to eradication and recovery.
*How centralized coordination and management can enhance your organization's overall cybersecurity posture.

Join us to gain practical knowledge and actionable strategies for elevating your organization's cyber resilience through robust validation, response, and mission control capabilities.

Security operations teams have their hands full, especially as both data volumes and cyber threats continue to increase across on-premises data centers, endpoints, and clouds. Traditional security information and event management (SIEM) systems have evolved over the years for greater integration and visibility, and yet they remain complex beasts to manage. Meanwhile, cybersecurity talent gaps persist. In this webinar, experts from IDC and Google Cloud discuss security and SIEM trends for 2025. They also offer best practices to create a proactive security operations environment that results in greater business value, including improved productivity, a data- and intelligence-led security posture, scalability, and cost benefits.

Best practices to boost security operations in 2025

SIEM's complicated evolution has resulted in unsustainable cost increases, scope creep, and the occasional declaration that the product space is essentially dead. Thanks to deep expertise in search and data management, access to OSINT and frontline intelligence, and AI-infused features, Google SecOps demonstrates that the SIEM still has plenty of gas in the tank. Discover how SecOps is ushering in the "SIEM's Third Act" by addressing the limitations of traditional SIEMs and empowering security teams with cutting-edge tools for threat-informed defense.

What You’ll Learn:
 - The Evolution of SIEM: We'll examine the challenges posed by the increasing complexity and scope of traditional SIEMs, highlighting the need for a more streamlined and effective approach.
 - Introducing Google SecOps: Learn how Google SecOps redefines threat detection and response by leveraging the power of Mandiant and VirusTotal threat intelligence, robust SOAR capabilities, and AI-enhanced workflows.
 - Deep Dive into Key Features: We'll explore the core functionalities of Google SecOps, including data collection, threat detection, automation, and case management.
 - Differentiation in a Crowded Market: We’ll conclude by discussing key differences in Google’s approach as compared to traditional SIEM platforms, and why SecOps is well worth a look.

Cryptography underpins the security of sensitive data, ensuring its protection during storage, transit, and authentication processes. However, the rapid advancements in quantum computing present a looming threat to modern cryptographic protocols. The emergence of Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computers (CRQCs) could render current encryption methods obsolete, exposing data to potential compromise and weakening foundational security controls like digital signatures.

In this insightful webinar, Dr. Stephen Begley, Mandiant UKI Red Team Lead, will explore:

- The Quantum Threat: How CRQCs will disrupt today’s cryptographic standards.
- Post-Quantum Solutions: Insights into NIST’s Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards and their potential to safeguard future security.
- Actionable Steps: Best practices for organisations to transition to quantum-resistant technologies and initiate a post-quantum cryptographic transformation.

This session is ideal for cybersecurity professionals, IT leaders, and decision-makers who want to stay ahead of evolving threats and secure their organisations for a post-quantum future.
