Defensive Strategies: The Power of Visibility
WebinarSecurity programs are struggling with noise. What is legitimate and what is suspicious? Attackers use that to their advantage to hide and move around inside your environment. Offense should inform defense but is that truly happening? The attack paths are less focused on exploitation and more successful with tactics and techniques. Visibility and monitoring are the most effective ways to defend against these breaches.
This webinar will discuss the top threats seen in the wild as well as the top ways Red Teams are actually breaking in. What are defensive programs missing and how can defensive strategies make the attacker’s job extremely hard. Join Lee Kagan and Anton Ovrutsky to learn how you can detect these common tactics and stop attackers (and pentesters) dead in their tracks.

Why Remediation Needs to be Part of Your Vulnerability Management Program
WebinarConsistent headlines have been made for years about the latest and nastiest vulnerability – how bad it is, how vulnerable you are to it, and what an attacker of any sophistication can do to you via it if you don’t patch it fast enough. This has led to a movement to do continuous vulnerability management, where you are able to do more than scan your network, but remediate also.
How can you bridge the gap between IT and operations to achieve a level of satisfactory security, to identify assets and ensure that the next zero-day doesn’t leave you feeling left behind? In this webinar we will look at ways to improve your continuous vulnerability management program.

Purple Teaming with ATT&CK
WebinarSecurity programs are struggling with noise. What is legitimate, and what is suspicious? Attackers use that to their advantage to hide and move around inside your environment. Offense should inform defense – but is that truly happening? The attack paths are less focused on exploitation and more successful with tactics and techniques. Visibility and monitoring are the most effective ways to defend against these breaches.
This webinar will discuss the top threats seen in the wild, as well as the top ways Red Teams are actually breaking in. Cybersecurity experts will explore what defensive programs are missing – and how you can deploy defensive strategies to make attacker’s job extremely difficult.
Join us on May 6th to learn how can teams come together on both offense and defense to outmatch the highest priority threats. This open and frank discussion featuring experts at VMware Carbon Black and Lares will cover how to cut through the noise so you can direct your prevention, detection, and response toward the attacks that matter most.

Using SIEM to Protect Against Top Cybersecurity Threats
WebinarThere are countless ways that a business can make it easier for a threat actor to find their way in undetected – and the onus is on security to stop, detect and prevent the attacker from getting in the first place. This is where SIEM can enable a business, and ensure that aggregated and analyzed data and log records give you a clear picture of what is happening on your network.
In this webinar, we will look at the most common ways that organizations unintentionally put themselves at risk against threats, understand how organizations can be better equipped to find these malicious instances and what solutions they can put in place to get a clearer picture of what is happening on your network.

What Credit Union’s Need to Know About Online Meeting Security
WebinarMost credit unions have turned to online meeting software such as Zoom, Google Hangouts, WebEx, and GoToMeeting to communicate with staff during the COVID-19 shutdown in an effort to stay productive and continue providing members with the services they count on. Recent events, however, have cast a dark shadow on some of these tools (namely Zoom) causing some organizations to completely change from one platform to the other. Those that haven’t changed providers are also considering the ramifications of staying with their current selection. So what’s the best course of action? Should you stay or should you go?
Join Lares CISOs Andrew Hay and Mark Arnold on this free webinar as they discuss the pros and cons of staying on the same platform vs. jumping to another provider. In this session Andrew and Mark will discuss:
– Why the Zoom “issue” isn’t as bad as everyone says,
– The challenges of rapidly switching to another platform, and
– Ways to protect yourself and your members from the recently disclosed vulnerabilities.

How DNS-Based Attacks Operate from the Inside Out, and How to Defend Against Them
WebinarThe Domain Name System (DNS) plays a critical role in modern network connectivity. Unfortunately, it is also a central part of many cyber-attacks as DNS is involved in more than 90% of malware/ransomware and nearly half of all data exfiltration incidents.
So how exactly how do cyber-criminals use DNS to carry out attacks? In this webinar we will examine the many ways cybercriminals exploit the unique properties of DNS.

How to Assess Phishing Awareness & Evaluate Simulation Alternatives
WebinarWhile many companies regularly run phishing simulations on their employees, evidence about this approach’s effectiveness is divisive. In addition, the culture of fear it engenders (by shaming those who fail) can be counterproductive, leaving your overtaxed security team to sift through mountains of reported phish attempts that are actually spam.
In this webinar, we will look at security awareness training as a whole, discuss the effectiveness of the phishing simulation test as a key component, and review alternate approaches to training that may have better results.

Malware Mayhem: The Evolving Threat Landscape
WebinarFinancially motivated malware, commonly referred to simply as ‘crimeware, is by far the most prevalent threat facing organizations and individuals alike and represents billions of dollars in losses annually.
In 2018, the malware threat landscape saw many twists and turns. Traditional dangers like ransomware continued to hit companies and impact their bottom line, whilst newer threats like cryptojacking – the surreptitious mining of crypto currencies – had notably significance in the first half of the year.
The previous 12 months showed the industry that malicious attackers constantly strive to achieve maximum impact and gain, in both tactics and technology.
This webinar will explore how financially motivated malware has changed the security landscape over the last year.

Security in a Forcibly Converged World
WebinarWith the increased remote working arrangements due to the ongoing pandemic, corporate endpoints are now located far beyond the standard corporate perimeter. To make matters worse, many employee’s dependents are also working and beginning schooling on the very same network now serving as an extension of your corporate infrastructure.
This arrangement, at this scale, was likely not considered when drafting organizational policies and standards. Likewise, operational security controls may not have previously existed or been tested before the entire organization started working from home. The corporate threat models almost certainly were not scoped to include family members’ systems, IoT devices, or connected toys.
The Forcibly Converged Network has its challenges. Every organization’s architecture is different; every home network and the devices communicating with the Internet is unique, and every parent or guardian overseeing and authorizing Internet usage have their own beliefs and rules.
Join this exclusive roundtable discussion with Lares experts – each of who brings their own unique parenting, security, and anecdotal perspectives to this new problem.

Managing Security and Risk in a Microsoft 365 Environment
WebinarMany organizations have accelerated their digital transformation in recent months, often out of necessity to keep operations running during the COVID-19 crisis. In turn, this transformation has seen Microsoft 365 adoption grow exponentially.
There are many benefits to using Microsoft 365 as a collaboration and productivity toolset, but how do you manage security and risk within a Microsoft 365 environment? Ignoring security gaps and relying on a single vendor dramatically increases risk, but with many cybersecurity teams being asked to reduce costs in the challenging economic climate, taking a single vendor approach can be tempting.
Join this webinar to learn more about the security gaps in Microsoft 365 and how you can implement strategies to mitigate them.
