CrowdStrike Threat Report: Global threat landscape overview

Attackers today are using more automation, specifically targeting supply chains and shadow IT, and leveraging new techniques in their attack campaigns. To keep up the defense, organizations should introduce AI security capabilities of their own to reduce the manual effort required from IT teams and effectively “fight fire with fire.”

Tune in to this BrightTALK webinar to hear from CrowdStrike CTO Elia Zaitsev as he discusses how AI can accelerate the analyst experience through:

• Data ingestion
• Identification and prioritization
• Threat response
• And proactive preparedness

AI innovations transforming the analyst experience: A roadmap

The nature of cyberattacks has changed. Organizations can no longer simply fortify their traditional perimeter in order to hold off threats.

Every identity presents a potential threat, and in the worst case, a breach.

Tune in to this CrowdStrike BrightTALK webinar, which provides an in-depth breakdown of the current threat landscape by leveraging key findings from CrowdStrike’s recent research initiatives.

The state of the threat landscape: CrowdStrike’s key findings

Adversaries are becoming increasingly focused on exploiting human error to attack organizations. They are getting better at hiding in security gaps and are finding entry points faster than ever before.

In this session, you’ll learn about two concerning trends in the modern threat landscape: cross-domain attacks and insider threats. Then, leaders from CrowdStrike will take you on a journey into the adversary universe to talk about a notorious adversary that CrowdStrike tracks, called Famous Chollima.

Watch now to learn how threat actors are taking advantage of hybrid work models and how you can keep your organization secure.

Advanced adversaries: How to keep threat actors out of your environment

As the threat landscape continues to evolve and adversaries exploit new emerging technologies, resiliency becomes critically important for defenders to stay ahead.

One of the fastest-evolving technologies and hottest topics in cybersecurity today is AI. During this 9-minute session, you’ll hear a dynamic discussion between Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer at CrowdStrike, and David Reber, Chief Security Officer at NVIDIA, as they share best practices for unlocking the potential of secure AI innovation.

Tune in now to discover how your organization can stay on top of advanced threats while embracing the transformative power of AI.

How to become resilient in the evolving AI threat landscape

Many cybersecurity teams tout their ability to confront disasters head-on and emphasize the ability to “bounce back” from an attack. But CrowdStrike Founder and CEO George Kurtz believes a proper defense isn’t just about reaction time: It’s about fostering a culture of resilience, a proactive organization that is always one step ahead of the opposition.

In their opening keynote to Fal.Con 2024, hear George Kurtz share his vision for a resilient-by-design future for an interconnected world, including the essential pillars necessary to make it possible.

A resilient-by-design future for an interconnected world

Threat actors are getting bolder, stakes are higher, ransom costs and extortions are growing exponentially. These attacks can cause huge financial and reputation damage to organizations and affect their customers, or even worse, critical infrastructure or supply chains.

This webinar will be delivered by the CrowdStrike Falcon Complete team where they will execute a live Ransomware attack scenario. A public facing host that is unprotected by Falcon has become compromised. The intruder is leveraging it to laterally move across the environment via RDP in attempts to deploy ransomware.

CrowdStrike’s 2023 Threat Hunting Report

Ransomware attacks are evolving. And if your organization isn’t prepared, you could be in for rude awakening in 2024. A recent survey reported that as many as 79% of organizations have experienced a successful ransomware attack over the last year.

Beyond the cost of a ransom, your organization must bear the burden of business disruption, irreparable damage to your reputation and customer trust, and other long-term impacts. Too many organizations have a false sense of security when it comes to their defenses, especially if you leverage decades-old traditional AV or endpoint security products.

Join us in this webinar to learn about:
• The major ways that ransomware has evolved going into 2024
• The gaps in traditional security tools that make your environment an easy target for adversaries
• How modern endpoint security solutions enable your organization to have an adaptable defense that can outpace and outsmart today’s adversaries

How Ransomware is evolving in 2024

Gone are the days when your enterprise functioned as a “castle and moat,” wherein you had complete reign over your data centers, firewalls, users, and data. 

Instead, many of your critical assets now likely live in the cloud or are dispersed across your digital footprint. When the castle walls are dismantled and your assets are everywhere, how do you fend off the swarms of hackers vying to compromise them?  

External Attack Surface Management (EASM) offers reprieve in this scenario, placing security visibility and control back into your hands. 

Join this webinar with Crowdstrike’s Tina Thorstenson, VP of Industry Business Unit & Executive Strategist, and Kamil Imtiaz, Director of IT SecOps Product Marketing, to educate yourself on Gartner’s definition of EASM, its associated benefits, and 5 things to consider before investing in an EASM solution.
