This year’s 2024 Summer Olympics led to several inspiring, noteworthy, and viral moments—from nail-biting basketball victories to gravity-defying surfers. Unsurprisingly, high-profile, international sporting events like the Olympics are also key targets for cyberattacks; the Tokyo Games in 2020 saw over 450 million cyberattacks, with Paris estimating eight times more. The Games are a prime example of complex IT ecosystems with several distinct groups of identities that need to be protected. 
 
Luckily advancements in cybersecurity technologies and strategies mitigate the risks of increasingly novel identity-based attack tactics. In this webinar, learn through the context of Olympic-level security threats how Duo’s latest innovations can help you win against attackers and defend your organization’s digital gold.

“Ring the Bell” with Gold-Standard Identity Security from Duo

Recent breaches, including a prominent data warehousing company, have sent shockwaves through the tech community, and this is a stark reminder that no organization, no matter the size, is immune to cyberattacks. 

In this webinar, identity security expert, Mike Rotar, will highlight five ways to combat identity attacks – starting with the current attack landscape, explore the lessons learned from recent attacks, and how Duo can be your ally in safeguarding your identities from ‘low-hanging fruit’ identity attacks in the wild. Hopefully, by the end of the session, attendees will feel equipped to dramatically improve their identity defenses – because at Duo, we’ve got you!

5 Ways Duo Helps you Combat Identity Attacks

Most people know that identity-based attacks are on the rise. The cybersecurity headlines seem full of breaches that involve identity as a key target. But, just because a problem is prevalent, doesn’t mean solutions to the problem are easy to implement. In fact, it can often feel overwhelming to break down the problem of identity-based attacks into concrete actions that will help improve defenses.

In this webinar, cybersecurity expert, Ted Kietzman, will highlight three key strategies to improving identity security – starting at the conceptual level and then diving deeper into descriptive examples of how each will help strengthen the identity perimeter. Hopefully, by the end of the session, attendees will feel equipped to dramatically improve their identity defenses – because at Duo, we’ve got you!

3 Concrete Ways to Improve Your Identity Security

With an industry-wide move to a zero trust security approach, the user’s identity has become the new security perimeter. Data from breach investigation reports clearly shows how the attackers have adapted and followed this shift. Most breaches today have an identity component and the identity is now under attack. So what happens next?

In this webinar we look at why these attacks succeed, how you can gain better visibility into the true identity security posture of your systems, and how the authentication processes can be hardened with new and existing tools.

Identity Under Siege: Strategies for Enhancing Security in a Zero Trust World

At this point, the fact that 80% of breaches can be traced back to compromised credentials seems to be a security industry constant. It’s like the speed of light. Year in, year out – it holds steady. But things have changed over time — there have been advances in authentication technology from stricter forms of MFA to federation to passkeys. Some of these advances are difficult to understand, but at Duo, we aim to make security simple. From small start-ups to large enterprises, our user-friendly security protects every click, every connection, every time. We’ve got you. 
 
 In this session, we’ll dive into the trends behind the compromised credentials statistic – and discuss a new paradigm to address this common identity-based threat.

Bolster Your Defenses with Continuous Identity Security from Duo

You’ve no doubt heard the phrase, “Attackers don’t hack anyone these days. They log on.” By obtaining (or stealing) valid user account details, an attacker can gain access to a system, remain hidden, and then elevate their privileges to “log in” to more areas of the network.

As a result of the level of access stolen credentials can provide, the use of valid accounts is prevalent across the threat landscape. Not only is it the second most common MITRE ATT&CK tactic, but the rise of MFA and an increase in basic phishing awareness means adversaries have gotten more creative. Often, this ends with the user being targeted for possible manipulation as part of an “insider attack.”

But don't worry, at Duo, we've got you. To illustrate ways in which security practitioners can help defend against the techniques employed in credential stealing attacks, this webinar will break down an identity attack piece by piece. There will also be a discussion of methods and mechanisms to prevent or detect these techniques to stop breaches or limit their impact.

10 Key Findings and Insights from the 2024 Duo Trusted Access Report

Single Sign-On (SSO) is an important aspect of access management, which includes Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), SSO and user and device posture policies for today’s hybrid workforce. With Single Sign-On, end users only need a single set of credentials to log into multiple websites and applications, both cloud and on-premises. This makes life easier for users since they don’t have to remember multiple passwords and provides administrators a centralized way to manage all accounts and govern which users have access to them.

Join Duo Technical Solutions Architect, Mubashir Mir, as he explains the benefits of Single Sign-On and how it helps users and organizations alike reduce reliance on and even stop using passwords altogether by adopting passwordless authentication.

Why Single Sign-On (SSO)?

TDR solutions are not new, in fact these days it’s hard to find a security vendor that doesn’t offer a solution, or is at least a technology partner with a TDR vendor. This gives organizations a plethora of options which may seem ideal, however it becomes challenging to not only understand how each solution works, but to also evaluate a solution’s ability to provide both security and business-related outcomes that add real value and address real pain-points.

This session presents the must-haves for a TDR solution to detect advanced threats across disparate products and vendors. We’ll also discuss the need for prioritized incident verification and prescriptive response automation which are key to delivering business outcomes that elevate productivity and build security policy resilience.

76% of organizations experienced multiple account or credential compromises over the past 12 months, according to ESG’s 2023 research about the state of passwordless authentication in enterprise organizations. Recent prominent MFA-based breaches and friction in the end-user experience have reached the ears of IT and cybersecurity leadership. Now, IT security professionals are looking to address these risks by evaluating phishing-resistant and passwordless authentication methods but lack clarity on the use cases this technology fulfills. 
 
Join this engaging discussion with Cisco Duo Product Marketer, Matt Brooks, and ESG Senior Analyst, Jack Poller as they unpack the research findings to understand the evolution of multi-factor authentication and passwordless technologies, and how IT security professionals are responding to the changing threats landscape.

The State of Passwordless in the Enterprise

Zero trust conversations have evolved very quickly. Organizations of all sizes now know the value of zero trust in terms of improving user experience and enabling business transformation. Teams no longer ask ‘what is it’ but now want to know ‘where do I start and what do I do next’. Specifically, which capabilities to prioritize when rolling out zero trust access for users (employees and contractors) and their devices (managed and unmanaged). 

In a nutshell, organizations need a roadmap. 

Join us as we dig into key data from our Cisco Zero Trust Workshops and our solution guide “How to go from MFA to zero trust: A five-phase plan for securing user and device access to applications”. These resources guide our customers in implementing zero trust for securing user access to applications – wherever users are, using different types of devices, and wherever the apps reside.

Your Zero Trust Roadmap: Five Steps to Securing User Access to Applications

We have all heard how important zero-trust is to our organisational security, but most of us are still carrying around some baggage from a past relationship: the password. Let's talk about how to get that obstacle out of your Zero-Trust path. Where does passwordless fit logically? How, and importantly, where will it work?  Join Duo Technical Marketing Engineer Josh Green to discuss these questions and more.  We recommend a second monitor or screen for this webinar.
