Webinars, panels, and commentary for cutting-edge CISOs, cybersecurity teams, IT compliance professionals, and risk management experts.

This STRONGER 2024 session explored how automated control assurance revolutionizes managing and protecting our security posture more efficiently. We can achieve significant improvements over traditional methods by continuously monitoring and testing security controls through APIs, machine learning, and real-time analytics. Automated testing covers a broader scope, allowing for the testing of larger sample sizes or even entire environments. Leonard explored how automated testing applies to various control types, including patch management, network monitoring, and access controls. 

As regulatory requirements become more complex, the ability to automatically monitor and ensure compliance will become integral to cybersecurity strategies. Automation tools will increasingly handle security tasks and compliance duties, ensuring organizations meet all legal and regulatory standards without intensive labor. Leonard discussed the rise of adaptive security architectures that dynamically change configurations based on real-time threat analysis and emerging risk factors. This adaptability allows security systems to respond to current threats and evolve as new threats emerge, providing resilient security measures.

STRONGER 2024: Leading with Risk: Building an Effective Cyber Risk Management Strategy

Cybercriminals constantly develop and enhance their tradecraft to maximize the likelihood of success in their operations. At times, this evolution manifests in an expanded target set, while at other times, it includes changing operational outcomes. However, tradecraft evolution mostly involves revising the TTPs that cyber adversaries deploy. Despite several cybercriminals diligently updating their TTPs, many still rely on different implementations of social engineering to obtain initial access to enterprise and personal networks or to steal sensitive information. Specifically, the threat landscape has witnessed a growing number of malvertising and job recruitment scams over the last four years. 

How can enterprises protect their personnel and clients from these attacks? How can cybersecurity practitioners track these campaigns for analysis? Search engine results pages (SERP) are one efficient means to systematically identify and mitigate these threats. 

This talk from STRONGER 2024 highlighted how threat actors of varying sophistication are weaponizing malvertising and job recruitment scams in the wild and targeted attacks.
