Agenda

We will discuss how we can help IT Administrators shift away from traditional patch management and evolve to comprehensive software management instead.

We will share:

- Common Software-types that make you more exposed than you think

- How to re-prioritize your approach to vulnerability management

- Key pillars required for a modern software management strategy to work

Technology is at the core of our daily lives, be it professional or personal. Software is at the heart of technology, but it can often be fragile. Securing software is not only building walls and hoping they hold. It’s about aligning people and processes, so that cyber security is the foundation of all we do. Cyber security is not a tick box, but rather a way of life for your organisation.

Explore with Boris Cipot the importance of securing your software. Find out how you can achieve security, far greater than just a bodyguard on a door...

In the fourth quarter of 2021 (Q4 2021) and first quarter of 2022 (Q1 2022), Insikt Group published TTP Instance notes highlighting tools and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) with the potential to be used in future adversarial campaigns.

Looking back on these tools and TTPs, we have identified a subset worth revisiting in further depth based on novelty in the threat landscape or continued or increased exploitation in the wild.

More than 90% of cyberattacks start with a phishing email. Email is the most successful delivery method for the costliest cyberattacks out there: business email compromise, credential theft, ransomware — the list goes on. Traditional email security solutions like filters or built-in tools in email applications are not enough for today’s sophisticated phishing threats.

Therefore, it is more important than ever to have a layered strategy to protect your business against threats. Graphus is the world’s first automated phishing defense platform that protects you from cybercriminals posing as trusted contacts.

With varying forms of risk cropping up from every corner, businesses lose SaaS data every day. The harsh reality is they, not SaaS providers, are responsible for the protection of their data. Microsoft, Google and Salesforce data centers are designed with world-class disaster recovery capabilities to protect data from infrastructure threats such as hardware or software failure, power outages, or natural disasters. However, these vendors cannot protect you from the most common causes of data loss: phishing, ransomware and malware attacks, human error, malicious behavior and configuration, and sync errors. That’s where Spanning Backup comes in! Spanning is the other side of the coin that works in tandem with Graphus to build a strong defense against phishing attacks.

What the session covers:

• The Importance of email security for your organization
• How email security and backup software work in harmony
• A overview of Graphus and Spanning
