The Cybersecurity Buyer's Dilemma: Hype vs (True) Expertise

Join us for a webinar where Kaspersky Digital Footprint Intelligence expert Anna Pavlovskaya will explore the motivations and drivers of cybercriminals, providing a unique perspective on the threats coming from dark web to companies of all sizes.

What you’ll discover:
• How Kaspersky monitors the dark web for data leaks, access sales, password dumps, and other threats targeting companies.
• Stepping away from the usual statistics and attack reports, we’ll examine off-topic discussions on dark web forums, such as whether to pay for a girl on a first date, or is there any perspective on a “white” job.
• Learn how to build cybercriminals’ profiles to enhance defensive strategies.

This webinar provides an unusual look into the human side of cybercriminals, helping you better understand and defend against the threats they pose. It will be beneficial for OSINT specialists, cybersecurity and darknet researchers, and corporate security specialists.

Inside the Dark Web: exploring the human side of cybercriminals

As cyber threats continue to evolve, mastering the art of digital forensics investigation is an essential for investigating security incidents and safeguarding critical systems. This webinar will focus on Windows digital forensics, offering an overview of the tools and techniques used to uncover digital evidence on Windows systems.

During the session, we will explore the key aspects of Windows forensics, including the major stages of the forensics process, beside a technical session on analysing Windows artifacts to reveal traces of cyber attack.

Additionally, we will provide an overview of our newly released online training course on Windows Digital Forensics. This course covers topics such as methods of obtaining diverse digital evidence, in-depth analysis of browsers and email histories, and the use of timestamps to restore incident scenarios, making it a valuable resource for cybersecurity professionals aiming to enhance their forensic analysis skills.

On the path to reveal the mystery with Digital Forensics

As AI systems based on large language models become more powerful and widespread, more cybersecurity challenges emerge. From jailbreaks to indirect prompt injections, they are vulnerable to a wide array of LLM-specific threats. However, all these problems can be boiled down to one single issue: LLMs are probabilistic algorithms that are inherently unreliable, just like any other ML system. Does it mean they cannot be useful? Absolutely not! In this talk, we will discuss the challenges of secure and reliable LLM-based applications and the way to make them safer and more aligned with your business goals.

Unreliable AI: Addressing the Cybersecurity Risks of LLM-Based System

In today’s relentless cybersecurity landscape, threats can still slip through undetected and compromise organizations, despite multiple security controls.

Cybersecurity Training and Awareness That Really Works: What You Need to Know

In today's digital landscape, phishing and social engineering attacks have become increasingly sophisticated, posing significant threats to organizations worldwide. According to Kaspersky's 2023 report, spam accounted for an alarming 45.60% of global email traffic. Furthermore, a staggering 77% of companies have fallen victim to cyber incidents in the past two years, with 21% of these incidents attributed to employees succumbing to phishing attacks.

Beyond the mere inconvenience of sorting through spam, these attacks can lead to severe consequences. From compromising confidential data to incurring substantial financial and reputational damages, the implications are vast. Additionally, recipients risk losing personal funds to scam messages, underscoring the urgency for robust email security measures.

Join us for this enlightening webinar where Kaspersky's experts, Anna Lazaricheva and Alexander Rumyantsev, will delve into the most prevalent and current email threats observed over the past year.

• Understand the diverse forms of spam and email threats plaguing organizations today.
• Explore real-world examples and case studies highlighting the impact of phishing and social engineering attacks.
• Discover the advanced features of Kaspersky Security for Mail Servers (KS for Mail Server), designed to combat sophisticated email threats effectively.

The Future of AI in cybersecurity

In today's media landscape, we consistently encounter news of companies falling victim to cyberattacks, resulting in the exposure and sale of their data on the dark web. The wide array of data available on the dark web market, including internal databases, infrastructure access, and compromised accounts, presents a pervasive problem that affects businesses of all sizes. These breaches and related incidents don’t only disrupt operations and damage reputations, but they can also result in substantial fines and legal consequences.

According to Kaspersky, nearly half of the organizations that faced data breach incidents in 2022 lacked contact person responsible for handling such incidents. About one-third either failed to react, denied the incident, or showed indifference to their data being traded on the dark web. Only a few were adequately prepared to respond.

At our upcoming webinar, Anna Pavlovskaya, an expert at Kaspersky Digital Footprint Intelligence, will present a comprehensive guide to setting up a system that monitors dark web threats and navigating the aftermath of an incident. You will gain insights into:

- Structuring the incident response process, including the approach, necessary steps, and the specific roles assigned to the team members responsible for the process.
- Identifying the types of data commonly offered for sale on the dark web and understanding the differing response strategies based on these data categories.
- Effective communication with the media, customers, partners, shareholders, top management, and other parties involved.
- Strategies for rapid incident identification, investigation, response, and recovery from an incident or preventing it from occurring.

Responding to a data breach: a step-by-step guide

Modern cars employ a wide array of communication interfaces. Some, like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, directly engage users, while others, such as RDS and GPS, provide user-facing services, and still others, like CAN and Ethernet buses, ensure the proper functioning of the car's internal systems. These interfaces contribute to the extensive flow of data within the car, forming its data flow graph. Within this graph, they serve as the "entry points" for malicious attackers seeking access to the vehicle. However, tampering with them does not necessarily lead to the loss of the car's security features.

In this webcast, cybersecurity experts, Alexander Kozlov and Sergey Anufrienko from Kaspersky's ICS CERT, will delve into the automotive security. Together, we will examine:

- We'll explore which interfaces attackers tend to favor when targeting cars and the reasons behind their choices.
- We'll focus on the techniques attackers employ when conducting attacks through specific interfaces, with an emphasis on classical techniques.
- We'll discuss how to defend against these threats and evaluate the feasibility of reducing associated risks.

Join us for this webinar, where we'll equip you with the knowledge and tools to not only comprehend the ever-evolving landscape of automotive security but also to safeguard your modern vehicle effectively.

Overview of modern car compromise techniques and methods of protection

In large companies, the sheer volume of information resources makes their attack surface significantly larger, compared to smaller businesses. Numerous factors contribute to this exposure, including networks spread across various locations that are consolidated into a single infrastructure, mergers and acquisitions with companies possessing lower security levels, outdated hardware and software, and more.

The level of preparedness for a potential incident directly impacts the effectiveness of the response and allows you to mitigate the attack’s impact. In this webinar, you will learn how to enhance incident responses for large-scale networks. Konstantin Sapronov, Head of Global Emergency Response Team at Kaspersky, will provide you with the following practical insights on:

• Optimizing incident response processes beyond mere scaling up by increasing personnel and systems involved
• Understanding incident response from a management perspective and why it should be an ongoing, cyclical process
• Exploring key principles for a successful response, emphasizing the significance of not only technical skills but also quality processes and soft skills
• Unveiling the limitations of backups in mitigating the consequences of an incident and discovering effective strategies to address them
