2023 looks to be another-breaking year for ransomware. In the first half of this year, publicized attacks represented a 49% increase over the first six months of 2022. It’s no wonder ransomware continues to be top of mind for many security professionals, and with the latest attacks on Las Vegas casinos, it continues to make the worldwide headlines.  

Join us November 16, 2023 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern/10:00 a.m. Pacific as Proofpoint hosts a webinar where we will discuss recent trends, tactics and techniques used by ransomware gangs, and how they operate.

Ransomware Threats Are on The Rise: How to Protect Your Organization

Given the ever-changing threat landscape, there’s no denying that cybersecurity is a board-level issue. With the potential damage of a cyber-attack stretching beyond revenues, the board needs a cybersecurity perspective now more than ever to safeguard company reputation, protect customers and avoid costly business disruption. Proofpoint’s newly released Cybersecurity: The 2023 Board Perspective report found that 73% of board directors feel their organization is at risk of a material cyber attack, compared to 65% in 2022.

We surveyed more than 650 board members around the globe and compiled their views on the global threat landscape, cybersecurity priorities and relationships with CISOs. Join us for this 45-minute webinar with our VP of Industry Solutions, Ryan Witt. He will discuss the findings of the report, including:

- A deep dive on cyber threats and the risks boards face
- What the board views as the most concerning emerging threats and how prepared their organizations are to combat them
- The top items on boardrooms’ wish lists, including bigger budgets, cyber resources and better threat intelligence
- How the relationships between board members and CISOs has evolved over the past year

The Board Perspective of the 2023 Cybersecurity Landscape

Identities are a company’s crown jewels for access and privilege in corporate systems, and attackers have begun to focus on compromised identities to enable data exfiltration, take over IT environments and launch ransomware attacks. How can you protect your organization from attackers who exploit gaps between identities and your security systems?

Watch this 30-minute webinar with guest speaker Yonesy Núñez, CISO of Jack Henry & Associates, to learn how industry leaders are tackling this shift in the threat landscape. 

We’ll discuss:
- Why identity is such a big problem right now
- Challenges in identifying vulnerable identities

Tim Choi, Group VP Product Marketing will facilitate the discussion with Yonesy Núñez, CISO of Jack Henry & Associates and Ofer Israeli, Group VP & GM Identity Threat Defense.

Identity is the New Attack Surface: A CISO’s Perspective

Our latest research in the 2023 State of the Phish Report revealed that although most organizations surveyed have security awareness programs, most struggle to make their programs effective. Considering learner engagement is essential to an effective security program, Cybersecurity Awareness Month is often used to inject new life into security education. But how can we keep the hype of Cybersecurity Awareness Month going for the month of October and beyond?

Join us for a 45-minute discussion, the first of a two-part series, and learn about:
- Revitalizing approaches to Cybersecurity Awareness Month
- Knowing your audience, resources, and goals
- Incorporating a threat-driven focus
- Enabling ongoing awareness efforts

Keeping Learners Engaged in October and Beyond for Security Awareness

Most organizations focus on securing email sent by people, but many more emails are generated and sent by systems and applications—including transactional emails like password resets, invoices, authentication codes, and more. Often these application and transactional emails originate outside your secure email infrastructure, sent on your behalf by third-party SaaS partners, increasing the risk of being compromised.

Join us for a 30-minute webinar where we will be discussing how you can gain centralized control over transactional email, increase deliverability, and increase your overall security posture.

Key topics we will cover:

- Background and overview of transactional emails and their associated challenges
- How to gain centralized control over 3rd party SaaS solutions sending email on your behalf
- How to increase deliverability while also increasing your security posture
- How to ensure DKIM signing for application-generated email (for DMARC compliance)

Stop Email Attacks and Initial Compromise by Securing Transactional Emails

As more companies allow their employees to engage with customers over social media, new monitoring channels and challenges have arisen. An unmonitored post on social media or an improper electronic communication over embedded chat, SMS texting, email, etc. can trigger regulatory sanctions, fines, or litigation, as well as reputational damage to a company brand.

Join our experts to learn how organizations can build a compliance strategy and what types of tools are available to monitor these communications and mitigate risks.

In this 20-minute session, we’ll discuss:

- How automated policies in Social Media monitoring can help organizations effectively comply with internal and regulatory guidelines
- How to unite and normalize data feeds across multiple social media, applications and electronic communication platforms
- How to efficiently facilitate compliance reviews and quickly respond to e-Discovery events
- How to build a defensible and effective compliance strategy

Why Monitoring Social Media and eComms is Crucial in Your Compliance Strategy

External and insider threats to data have become more prevalent with the adoption of hybrid work and cloud storage.
