Wenn es darum geht, Benutzer zu identifizieren und authentisieren, ist die Kombination von Benutzernamen beziehungsweise E-Mail-Adresse und Passwort nach wie vor die verbreitetste Methode in Unternehmen. Damit kommt der Sicherheit der verwendeten Passwörter eine zentrale Funktion in der IT-Sicherheit des gesamten Unternehmens zu. Zum Schutz des Unternehmensnetzwerks und vertraulicher Daten, fordert das BSI daher, dass Passwörter in geeigneter Qualität (Je nach Einsatzzweck und Schutzbedarf) gewählt werden müssen.

In diesem Webinar wird Ihnen Stephan Halbmeier, Product Specialist bei Outpost24 zeigen, wie Sie mithilfe von Specops Password Policy, sowie weiteren Lösungen aus dem Portfolio von Specops Software, die Anforderungen des BSI IT-Grundschutz-Kompendiums an Passwörter im Segment ORP.4 umsetzen können.

As businesses continue to embrace remote and hybrid work environments in 2024, VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) remain a crucial component of secure network access. However, with the rise of cyberattacks surrounding leaked passwords, securing VPN password security remains a top concern.  Weak or compromised VPN passwords can lead to unauthorized access to corporate networks, making them a prime target for cybercriminals.
This webinar will focus on the state of VPN password security in 2024, exploring the current challenges businesses face in securing remote access and the strategies they can implement to mitigate risks. Attendees will learn about the latest trends in VPN security, best practices for managing VPN credentials, and how emerging technologies like passwordless authentication and multi-factor authentication (MFA) are transforming the way businesses protect their networks.

In diesem Webinar erfahren Teilnehmer, wie Sie die Angreifbarkeit Ihrer Organisation mit den Augen eines Cyberkriminellen betrachten können und welchen Mehrwert dies im Vergleich zu gewöhnlichen Vulnerability-Scans bietet.

Erfahren Sie, welche Risiken, vernachlässigte, extern erreichbare Assets für IT-Sicherheit von Unternehmen darstellen. Cyberkriminelle nutzen solche Schwachstellen, um unbemerkt in Systeme einzudringen und Angriffe vorzubereiten. Stephan Halbmeier, Product Spezialist von Outpost24, zeigt, wie selbst kleinste Änderungen ein Einfallstor für Angreifer sein können. Er zieht die Blende auf und macht die ganze Dimension der Angriffsfläche aus der Perspektive eines Angreifers sichtbar und hinterfragt, ob bestehende Prozesse und Tools Sicherheitsverantwortliche in gebotenem Umfang bei der Überwachung unterstützen.

Le programme Cybersécurité accélération et Résilience des Etablissements (CaRE) est un plan d’action destiné à protéger le secteur de la santé face à la menace cyber. 

Les objectifs du programme CaRE se déclinent en 4 axes (gouvernance et résilience – ressources et mutualisation – sensibilisation – sécurité opérationnelle) et visent à renforcer la capacité des établissements de santé à prévenir et lutter contre la cybercriminalité.

Le premier domaine, qui a été prioritaire face aux récentes cyberattaques, concerne l’exposition à Internet qui est l’un des principaux vecteurs de pénétration par les attaquants dans les systèmes d’information des établissements de santé.

L’objectif fixé aux établissements de santé est de réaliser régulièrement des audits afin d’évaluer leur niveau d’exposition sur Internet. Autour de sa solution EASM (Exposed Attack Surface Management), Outpost24 apporte une solution aux établissements de santé, afin de répondre aux exigences du domaine 1 du programme CaRE.

Les thématiques qui seront abordées lors du webinaire sont :

- Pourquoi surveiller son exposition sur Internet ?
- Exigences du domaine 1 du programme CaRE
- EASM Outpost24 : une solution à l’approche « zéro connaissance »
- Contextualisation de notre EASM conforme aux exigences du domaine 1

The Cost of Forgotten Passwords

This virtual workshop will provide crucial insights into the internet-facing assets of businesses that make them vulnerable to  threat actors. Because you can't protect what you're not aware of, we'll guide you through the most common, yet often forgotten high-risk assets in an external attack surface, as indicated by our benchmark findings. Many organizations struggle to track and maintain an up-to-date inventory of all their external assets, making them vulnerable to potential breaches through unknown backdoors. External attack surface management (EASM) is a way to discover and track these unknown assets that may be potential breach-points into your organization's network.  

During this talk, we'll present practical and effective reconnaissance techniques and show you how to proactively and efficiently control your external attack surface. 

Join us on Wednesday, May 16th at 3pm, CEST to:  
– Discover most common and often forgotten high-risk external IT assets  
– Learn about the risks associated with an unmonitored attack surface and our benchmark findings 
– Get better insights of the various methodologies and tools that keep your external attack surface under control 
– Best practice to stay up-to date when securing your external attack surface  

 
Following the  webinar, participants will be offered a customized analysis of their external attack surface, in reference to regional benchmark findings.

With multiple reports that include, a summary of accounts using compromised passwords, identical passwords, and many more you will be able to see a comparisons of your organization's password settings with industry standards and best practices according to multiple official standards.

Getting the Most Out of Your Specops Password Auditor Report

You can't stop the expansion of your external attack surface, but you can identify unknown assets and their vulnerabilities to mitigate the security risk. External attack surfaces expand due to modern software development practices, mergers and acquisitions, the adoption of multi-cloud strategies and much more. 
  
Many organizations find it difficult to monitor these changes and end up leaving themselves vulnerable to the 'unknown unknowns' - potential backdoors that can lead to a breach. 
  
External attack surface management (EASM) is a way to discover and track external-facing assets that may be potential breach-points into your organization’s network. EASM helps organizations create an accurate inventory of their internet-facing assets and vulnerabilities before it can be exploited - the first step in effectively defending against attacks. From there, security teams can continually monitor their external attack surface and prioritize their remediation efforts.
  
Join our webinar - Keeping Your External Attack Surface Under Control - on Thursday 21st September at 3pm CEST to learn how modern organizations use EASM to: 

• Discover shadow IT and unknown, external assets connected to your organization 
• Identify common misconfigurations and vulnerabilities in exposed assets 
• Score your vulnerability exposure and prioritize what needs to be fixed first 
• Continuously monitor the attack surface for new vulnerabilities introduced by exposed assets or configuration changes 
• Compliment vulnerability assessment and threat intelligence tools in a broader threat exposure management program 

At the end of this webinar, attendees receive an invitation to a personalized evaluation of their external attack surface

Passwords are one of the weakest links when it comes to ensuring that your environment is secure. 

The UK’s cyber security authority, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) produced a list of the top 100,000 passwords originating from the “Have I Been Pwned” data list which provides organisations with weak passwords that have been found in actual data breaches. 

Join this technical webinar to learn how to check your users passwords against the NCSC list to highlight any at risk accounts as well as an additional free and easy to use automated solution to identify further vulnerabilities in your Active Directory.
