SC Webcasts

One way cybercriminals obtain the resources and connections they need to engage in their activities is through the Internet underground or “dark web.” Definitions of the Internet underground may vary, but to Secureworks, it means the collection of Internet forums, digital shop fronts and chat rooms that cybercriminals use to form alliances, trade tools and techniques, and sell compromised data that can include banking details, personally identifiable information and other content.

In our “2017 State of Cybercrime” report, we shared several key findings and intelligence which stems from the visibility gained from criminal forum monitoring, our thousands of clients, the machine learning and automation from our industry-leading Counter Threat Platform™, and the actionable insights from our team of elite Counter Threat Unit™ (CTU) researchers, analysts and consultants.

Secureworks Counter Threat Unit Senior Security Researcher, Mike McLellan, will analyse the key findings from our research and will cover recommended strategies for organisations to pursue in order to prevent, detect, respond to and predict the latest cybercriminal activity threats.

During this live webcast we will cover:

• Key findings from our visibility into criminal forums and technical monitoring of global criminal activity
• Cybercrime categories and the significant risk to individuals and organisations
• The complexity of the criminal landscape and diverse capabilities of threat actors
• The continuation of online crime as a market economy

It is no exaggeration that enterprises can run on average 25 security products concurrently, as it is the case with financial services organisations, according to research firm Ovum. And yet sometimes, 25 products can be as good as zero.

Organisations can suffer from a false sense of security thinking they’re better protected than organisations running fewer security products. But in fact, it could be quite the opposite. Much like the law of diminishing returns, the more products, the more alerts, and the more alerts, the higher your chances are of wasting time investigating the same threat more than once—keeping you from focusing on other, more critical threats.

Join Golan Ben-Oni, Global Chief Information Officer at IDT Corporation, and Gil Barak, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at Secdo, as they show you how alerts can be streamlined to simplify threat hunting and find what would have otherwise been overlooked by other tools. Attendees will learn:

• What is threat-level visibility and how it gives you a far more granular view into potential threats than user-level or kernel-level access to endpoint activity ever could
• What steps can be taken to automate and simplify alert analysis to eliminate time spent chasing down redundant alerts and false positives
• How to optimise your security workflow following an incident
