Turn Business Leaders into Security Champions

Research shows that a robust data security program is a strategic business advantage for companies. But building such a program requires a strong data command center for managing policies and controls that protect data across the hybrid multicloud landscape. The role of a data command center is to help the organization achieve the delicate balance between reducing risk and meeting business objectives. Meet our expert panel to learn why companies are building data command centers to modernize their data security programs.

Join us and learn about the best practices for:

• Building the business case for a modern data security program
• Managing data risk across the dynamic hybrid multi-cloud landscape
• Prioritizing risk mitigation strategies to protect most sensitive data
• Using automation to enable secure data sharing within & outside company
• Proactively manage breach response using risk quantification & automation tools
• Collaborating with governance, privacy, compliance, & business teams

Foundations of a Next-Gen Data Security Program

Incident response is typically reactive, as analysts rush to identify ongoing security incidents, triage a barrage of alerts, enrich data with available threat intel, and communicate critical information to downstream stakeholders.

The problem is that this process relies too much on manual processes and is far too slow in getting the right information to the right decision makers. While detection tools may be rapid, the end-to-end process of aggregating, prioritizing, disseminating, documenting, alerting, and finally taking action to stop attacks can take days to weeks to months to never…

Join security experts from Cyware for a discussion of practical ways to improve incident response by incorporating threat intelligence and automation into your processes from the outset – rather than as an afterthought. An intelligence-driven process can help you proactively get ahead of threats, anticipate possible attacks, prepare detection rules in advance, address vulnerabilities and help your organization respond quickly and effectively when incidents occur. Combining this with effective orchestration, automation, and collaboration tools can dramatically reduce response time and improve outcomes. This discussion will include:

• How to break through silos to connect people, technology, and data
• The need to orchestrate security tools, cloud apps, and data sources
• Ways to effectively consolidate, and prioritize threat and incident data
• Connecting the dots across threats, incidents, tools, and teams
• Automating alerts to stakeholders so they can make decisions quickly

The Need for Intelligence-Driven Incident Response

Well-orchestrated spear phishing campaigns targeted at SaaS super admins are swiftly becoming a leading cyber threat. Threat actors are finding new ways to steal credentials from highly privileged accounts to “live off the land.”

Threat actors exploited a novel attack method in the recent Okta HAR compromise, where they targeted an identity provider (IdP) with the intent to exploit its customer organizations. In addition to Okta being compromised, this compromise successfully targeted several Okta customer organizations.

Learn step-by-step how this identity-centric breach occurred, the common attacker tactics, techniques, as well as procedures, and why managing your SaaS identity security without SaaS security posture management (SSPM) places organizations at risk for compromise and data loss. 

In this webinar, presented by AppOmni, we’ll discuss:
• The common attacker tactics used in the Okta HAR breach
• Why proactively securing and continuously monitoring the SaaS attack surface and ensuring appropriate security configurations of an Okta instance is essential
• How SSPM conducts event monitoring to detect anomalous activity from a customer’s Okta instance, including being able to detect and alert on rogue IdP registrations

Okta Compromise in Focus: How to Safeguard SaaS Identities with SSPM

Silos happen. In many security organizations, threat intelligence analysts and incident responders work in different teams, use different tools, and have gaps in how they communicate and collaborate. These fragmented silos of data, technology, and people are pervasive, and increase overall risk.

While Threat Intelligence promises to anticipate and prevent cyberthreats, it is often run in isolation, hindering real-time sharing of threat data, and delaying response to emerging threats. And when threat intel is shared, it typically takes too long, provides too much extraneous information, and lacks the context required by downstream decision makers.

It's time to break through silos and bring together multiple teams, security disciplines, and tools through orchestration, automation, and better human collaboration.

Join security experts from Cyware for an interactive discussion of practical strategies and real-world case studies of SOC teams connecting the dots across tools and effectively integrating threat intelligence into security operations. Topics will include:

• How to connect people, technology, and data across security silos
• The need to orchestrate security tools, cloud apps, and data sources
• Ways to effectively consolidate, and prioritize threat and incident data
• How threat intelligence can be used to build better detection rules
• Getting the right information to the right people, right away

Using Threat Intelligence to Break Down Security Silos

Organizations don't need to go it alone in their cloud security efforts, nor do they need to incur significant financial costs. In fact, they can use a familiar set of industry-recognized best practices to create secure cloud environments. Working with global adopters and cybersecurity experts, including Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), the Center for Internet Security (CIS) has created a variety of no-cost resources to help organizations of all sizes secure their cloud-based assets. 

The main challenge in applying best practices within cloud environments is tied to the fact that these systems typically operate software and hardware under different assumed security responsibilities. The Security Best Practices team at CIS continually refines our security guidance for the cloud to help solve these challenges and ensure it reflects any and all scenarios that organizations may face when securing their environments and assets. 

Looking for the most secure way to protect your cloud environments? Our webinar will break down our available resources to keep your organization safe. Tune in to learn more about:

• How the CIS Critical Security Controls and CSA Cloud Control Matrix can work together to improve your cloud security
• Applying cybersecurity best practices in your cloud environments across different service and deployment models 
• Ensuring your cloud environments and assets are securely configured based on consensus-based industry guidance, the CIS Benchmarks

The Enterprise Strategy Group recently published their findings of a cloud detection & response survey (July 2023). In this Cloud Bytes episode, SentinelOne highlights several of the key findings from that research and discusses their significance to cloud security strategies, and the role of runtime security therein.

Emerging Themes in Cloud Detection & Response

As organizations reduce their attack surfaces with tooling and best practices, bad actors are looking for new attack vectors so they can reach mission-critical systems. One increasingly popular attack vector involves targeting the software delivery process itself by abusing CI/CD pipelines to execute attacks such as malicious code injection. When you build and iterate on your CI/CD security strategy, it’s important to get inside the mind of an attacker who’s looking to gain access to your systems. So how do bad actors think about CI/CD pipeline-based attack paths? Tune in to this webinar and learn from our CI/CD security expert, Omer Gil, as he walks through:

• The most common type of CI/CD-based attack — poisoned pipeline execution (PPE)
• How bad actors can bypass required pull request (PR) reviews
• Why bad actors prefer PPE attacks over traditional attack paths
• And more!

Top Ways to Abuse CI/CD and Reach Production

Kubernetes has rapidly become the de facto standard for container orchestration in modern software development. But rapid iteration often leads to security risks, including misconfigurations and supply chain attacks. Breaches often have a large blast radius, due to overly-privileged network, execution, and identity and access management (IAM) policies.

In this webinar, you'll glean insights on how to run K8s with confidence, accelerating usage without compromising security and compliance controls. 

Attendees will learn:

• Common K8s security mistakes and threat vectors (and how to avoid them)
• Tips to balance preventive efforts with reactive ones
• Best practices to address top security concerns, container image scanning, least-privilege strategies, and runtime breach detection to achieve speed and efficiency goals

Modern Workload Security: Addressing the Challenges of K8s

As Cloud Attacks Increase, How Should AppSec Respond?

The rise of cloud-native development has ushered in an engineering paradigm shift, one in which the speed, agility and flexibility of software development is increasingly critical to business success. As a result, the engineering ecosystem has become more dynamic than ever before. 

While this shift is integral to rapid development in the cloud, it also introduces new opportunities for bad actors to leverage weaknesses to instigate attacks. Protecting your organization from these attack vectors requires a modern approach to application security.

But what does modern AppSec look like? And how must traditional AppSec evolve to respond to the changing cloud-native attack surface?

Tune in to this webinar with Daniel Krivelevich, CTO of AppSec at Palo Alto Networks, to learn:
• Why bad actors are increasingly targeting the engineering ecosystem in cloud attacks.
• How security teams can become a guardrail or enabler, rather than a blocker.
• Why getting visibility into your engineering environment is the key to modern AppSec.
• How to evaluate your organization’s software supply chain risk posture.
• Practical tips to improve your organization’s resilience to cloud attacks.

Evolving AppSec for Cloud-Native Resilience

If this describes your organization, are you ready to transform the narrative: Siloed security and remediation teams, a lack of actionable risk insights, and fragmented remediation stemming from complex cloud and application environments? Melinda Marks, ESG Senior Analyst, and Ravid Circus, Seemplicity Chief Product Officer discuss the state of cloud risk remediation, as well as a holistic strategy that bridges the gap between security and remediation teams. Join the conversation to understand how you can transform your remediation operations strategy with streamlined collaboration and context-driven action.

Security Remediation at Cloud Scale

Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) are increasingly encountering a reality that a significant proportion of either the merged or acquired entity is constituted by a virtual, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) footprint. The SaaS-fication of business includes many of the core business processes and proprietary data, with large enterprises having hundreds or thousands of SaaS apps deployed. 

Until recently, observability into the SaaS estate has been limited, the equivalent to buying a house sight unseen. This is because existing cloud security solutions such as Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASBs) are unable to provide insight to the SaaS app configuration and permission settings, including SaaS-to-SaaS connections. Only by leveraging a SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) solution can security and risk leaders effectively perform the necessary SaaS cybersecurity due diligence to understand and manage the cyber risks associated with the M&A process. 

A SSPM solution provides SaaS cyber risk observability from a single pane of glass, effectively shining a light onto current and potential future state SaaS cyber risks, including over-permissioned end-users and exposed sensitive data.

Boost your M&A Program with SSPM

We all know the cloud brings speed and automation to the business, but the speed of cloud attacks is staggering. New data shows how your cloud can be owned in the amount of time it takes to brew your fancy pour-over coffee. 

In this webinar we’ll unpack the latest cloud attacks and share real stories of organizations that evolved their defense to prevent, detect, and respond at the speed of cloud. Spoiler alert: your CSPM ain’t gonna cut it. 

Smash that register button if you’re curious about: 

• How you can reduce vuln noise by up to 95%
• How runtime insights make CSPM better
• How to reconcile all these acronyms into a coherent cloud security strategy (CNAPP, CSPM, CWPP oh my!)

Beyond CSPM: Mastering Cloud Defense in the Age of Rapid Attacks

In the current state of SaaS cybersecurity, there’s a disconnect between security practitioners’ perceptions of their SaaS cybersecurity maturity and the actual reality. A majority feel overconfident in their SaaS cybersecurity strategies, but our findings paint a different picture, revealing that organizations aren’t effectively managing SaaS cybersecurity risk at scale as much as they perceive.

From our survey of over 600 security practitioners for our report, we learned that 79% of organizations suffered a SaaS cybersecurity incident in the last year. We find that one of the key challenges organizations face is obtaining risk visibility into their SaaS attack surface. But we see a silver lining: Organizations are aware of risks posed by unsecured SaaS and are now prioritizing SaaS cybersecurity as a top 3 initiative.

In this webinar, presented by AppOmni, we will discuss:
