In an unprecedented demonstration of international cooperation and cyber resilience, law enforcement agencies from the U.S., U.K., and other global partners have successfully orchestrated the takedown of LockBit, one of the most notorious ransomware groups to date. This landmark operation marks a pivotal moment in the fight against cybercrime, showcasing the potential of concerted governmental efforts to combat digital threats effectively.

Join our webinar to dive into the intricate details of the LockBit disruption, the strategies employed by international law enforcement, and the broader implications for cybersecurity across the globe. We will explore how this operation diverges from past efforts, emphasizing the critical shift towards targeting the core operators and infrastructure of ransomware groups rather than just their affiliates. We will discuss the groundbreaking achievements of this collaboration, including the seizure of critical infrastructure, legal actions against operators, and the provision of decryption keys to victims, highlighting the operation's role in paving the way for more resilient cyber defense mechanisms.

Key Takeaways:

• Understand the significance of the LockBit takedown in the context of global cybersecurity efforts.
• Learn about the strategies and tools employed by international law enforcement to disrupt one of the world's most prolific ransomware gangs.
• Explore the implications of this operation for future cybercrime prevention and the importance of international cooperation.
• Discover the role of legal and technical interventions in achieving long-term impacts on cybercriminal operations.
• Discuss the evolving landscape of cyber threats and the continuous need for innovation in cybersecurity defense mechanisms.

LockBit Takedown and Aftermath

Disaster recovery is a necessity for an organisation's cyber resilience strategy. Seventy-six percent of respondents to Gartner’s IT Disaster Recovery Trends and Benchmarks survey reported an incident during the past two years that required disaster recovery, with more than 50% experiencing at least two incidents. The frequency of these incidents proves how essential comprehensive backup and recovery plans are to ensure business continuity.

However, disaster recovery can be daunting, expensive, and complex. Disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) takes the management and overhead off your hands - while ensuring your data and applications are backed up and can be recovered quickly.

Join this webinar to:
- Discuss the evolution and movement from traditional disaster to DRaaS
- Discover how to build an effective recovery plan using DRaaS
- Explore the cost-benefits of partnering with a DRaaS provider
- See why partners should tap into the potential of disaster recovery and provide it as a service

DRaaS takes the burden of planning and managing recovery resources off the organization and puts it into the hands of specialists. So, why not leave it to the experts?

In the complex cybersecurity landscape, one issue that often flies under the radar is DNS leaks, which can reveal sensitive information such as user activity patterns and IP addresses.

Even with VPN services, DNS leaks can open the door to targeted attacks, intrusive advertising, and other security vulnerabilities. Worst of all, they are notoriously difficult to detect and prevent.

Stay ahead in DNS protection as we have cybersecurity expert Ryan Hosken, Lead Solutions Consultant ANZ and Asia, and guest speaker Jonathan Barnett, Lead Product Manager:
• Discuss how internet-borne threats use DNS to deliver attacks and spill into the network.
• Review the top DNS threats and how DNS protection, including its new leak prevention technology, block attacks.
• Showcase Webroot™ DNS Protection and how to improve security and privacy for your business.

Optimizing Migration for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI

While more businesses rely on cloud-based services, more often than not, they believe that their data is safe because it’s in the cloud. Unfortunately, these cloud-based applications such as Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Salesforce cannot protect you from data loss when it comes to malicious intent, outages, sync errors, hackers and malware.

Join us to hear from expert, Ryan Hosken, Senior Solutions Consultant ANZ from OpenText Cybersecurity on how you can protect your SaaS applications and business-critical data with a single solution, while ensuring seamless business continuity and minimizing downtime.

Solution Spotlight Series - Cloud-to-Cloud Backup

Did you know that most internet requests are translated into clear text that can be spied on and used by threat actors? That’s because most organisations rely on a legacy domain name system (DNS) that wasn’t built with security in mind leaving businesses at risk when their work from “Anywhere” employees access the internet, web and network.

OpenText Cybersecurity closes the gap with DNS Protection. The standalone solution provides a private and secure connection to the internet without giving up speed or access. Recommended by security organisations across the world, many businesses are adding an additional layer of protection to safeguard their company from web threats.

Join us to hear Jonathan Barnett, Senior Product Manager and Ryan Hosken, Senior Solutions Consultant ANZ from OpenText Cybersecurity as they outline the steps to simplify DNS protection through automation, blocking bad internet domains using encrypted DNS over HTTPS (DoH) requests, and learn how to protect a hybrid workforce from web-borne threats when accessing your network.

Backup and protect data on Microsoft 365, Google, Salesforce, Dropbox & Box platforms
The average business uses dozens of third-party SaaS applications – a trend that will only increase in the years to come. Unfortunately, SaaS vendors like Microsoft, Google, Salesforce and more have a shared-responsibility model where users are liable for their data hosted on the third-party platform, exposing companies to the risk of data loss and compliance violations when a breach occurs.
Hear from Ryan Hosken, Senior Solutions Consultant, ANZ at OpenText Security Solutions to learn about the hidden risks of third-party SaaS applications as well as actionable strategies on how you can better protect your data.

In the session, we’ll discuss:
• The common vulnerabilities with SaaS Applications
• The business implications when faced with cyber threats such as ransomware 
• Strategies for enhancing cyber resilience with a cloud-to-cloud backup solution

Closing the Security Gap on SaaS Applications

Cyber resilience can be an intimidating topic for any business, but the risk of a cyber attack is higher than ever. It is critical for companies to take action to lower their cyber risks, or potentially face crippling business disruptions: 1/3 of companies that experienced a ransomware incident reported business disruption of a week or longer, while 75% of companies that encountered a highly visible ransomware incident required post-incident steps to assess and, as warranted, improve their company’s data protection and recovery practices. 

To help organizations get ahead of potential cyberattacks, this IDC eBook, sponsored by Webroot + Carbonite, presents a six-step cyber resilience framework based on foundational industry principles that outlines the steps that businesses can take to strengthen their cyber resilience.

In this webinar, IDC analyst Michael Suby engages BrightCloud’s Matt Aldridge in a discussion of this six-step cyber resilience framework and explores the role of threat intelligence in boosting security efficacy. This conversation covers trends in the current threat landscape, new forms of cyber attacks attributed to the Russia-Ukraine war, and highlights ways that advanced machine-learning models can be leveraged to produce timely, accurate, and contextual threat intelligence to combat zero-day threats. 

There is no need to roll the dice and only partially address cybersecurity risks. Turning the framework and insights presented in this eBook into action provides a blueprint to lower your cyber risks and to avoid becoming the next victim.
