We know that the threat landscape is ever-changing and that organizations are constantly looking for technologies and tools to help guide and augment their security efforts. In this survey, we look at spending habits, priorities, and decision-making processes when it comes to security technology. What drives organizations to spend the way they do? Is it risk factors, compliance needs, or looking to defend against the latest threats? Furthermor...

What a difference a year can make! Looking back on 2023, we saw some stunning trends and incidents in the realm of cybersecurity that got us all talking. In this webcast (with an associated white paper), SANS Senior Instructor Dave Shackleford will examine: The most significant cybersecurity incidents in 2023, and lessons learned from them What’s happening in the realm of machine learning and AI, both good and bad New security technology...

Securing applications is a complex and cumbersome issue many organizations have yet to solve. Current processes to test and secure applications are manual, ad-hoc, and often disconnected from development cycles. Furthermore, testing tools or results are siloed, and may not focus on overall risk or lack enterprise context. This leads to unnecessary friction, which can impact development processes or leave a security gap in the organization. In...

The Dragos OT Cybersecurity Year in Review is a mainstay for ICS asset owners and defenders to stay abreast of cyber threats, vulnerabilities, and frontline observations from the previous year. Covering the key OT cybersecurity events that shaped the threat landscape for industrial sectors, how the ICS community is performing, areas of improvement for safe and reliable operations. Join Dragos CEO and SANS Senior Instructor Robert M. Lee for a...

As physical and cyber attacks on critical infrastructure and industrial control systems (ICS) have become increasingly brazen, ICS defenses must go beyond just preventative security. ICS defenses must be ICS-specific, teams need to be proactive and have ICS cyber specific knowledge and skills. This is because traditional IT security controls applied to ICS are ineffective, cause disruptions and safety interferences. ICS cyber defense is doable...

In the final part of the Cloud Security Flight Simulator series, join SEC540 lead author and instructor Eric Johnson to learn how to enable workload identity for AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Rather than issuing long-lived credentials to individual pods or inheriting excessive permissions from the node, Kubernetes service accounts can use an internal OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider to obtain a signed i...

This is a 2 hour hands-on workshop. As with any enterprise environment, we can (and should) focus on hardening our defenses to keep the adversaries out, but these defenses may some day be evaded via a variety of methods. Cloud is no different. In this workshop, we will work through the process of creating a detection that we can use as defenders to spot an adversary performing attack techniques against our Azure environments. The overall proce...

Part 3: Continuing the Cloud Security Flight Simulator series, join SEC540 Cloud Security & DevSecOps Automation instructor Jon Zeolla for a webcast on software supply chain security. In a recent Sonatype State of the Supply Chain report, a 750% year-over-year increase in supply chain attacks was observed. In response to the increase in supply chain attacks, an Executive Order led to the development of supply chain security guidance includ...

In an increasingly complex and dynamic cyber threat landscape, decision-makers are turning to actionable, contextualized threat intelligence to bolster cyber resilience and fulfill mission or business objectives. With the advent of advanced AI technologies, including Large Language Models (LLMs), the scope and effectiveness of Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) are being revolutionized. How can CTI empower heads of cybersecurity departments, secu...
