IoT Under Attack: Thwarting Zero-Days with Cyber AI

 

From internet-connected CCTV cameras to office temperature sensors, IoT devices have introduced an entirely new threat into the attack landscape. While developers have focused on perfecting the convenience and utility of their products, their security proficiency has lagged behind. As a result, devices have been rushed to market rife with zero-day vulnerabilities. Such technology is often implemented without the consultation of security teams, is outside their awareness, and, subsequently, outside of corporate protection. For attackers, these are the perfect means of surreptitious entry.

Join Dave Masson, Darktrace’s Director of Enterprise Security, and Marcus Fowler, Darktrace’s Director of Strategic Threat, as they discuss the challenges of securing IoT devices, and learn how Cyber AI is able to spot the full range of IoT threats in their earliest stages, before autonomously responding to contain the malicious activity. In this session, find out more about:

• How Darktrace’s AI understands what ‘normal’ looks like for all IoT devices on the corporate network

• How Darktrace recently thwarted a Mirai malware attack on a CCTV camera

• How a low-and-slow attack on a smart locker was neutralized by Cyber AI within seconds

Supply Chain Protection: Preparing for the Next SolarWinds

 

The SolarWinds supply chain attack was a brutal security failure that relied on perimeter tools, threat hunting and prior knowledge to stop an attack – only to find that these tools were powerless to identify and stop it.

Existing security tools are not sufficient to secure the supply chain, namely because the most sophisticated attacks are occurring at runtime, a notorious blind spot in organizations. Conventional security tools are not instrumented to detect exploits in memory and do not provide any visibility into runtime. More importantly, they do not provide runtime protection, so evasive attacks that proliferate at the memory level often go undetected for days, months, or even years.

Learn effective new tactics and tools to protect and defend against sophisticated and evasive supply chain attacks like remote code execution and other crippling runtime exploits. Get best practices to protect your workloads against future or ongoing supply chain attacks.

Highlights & Recommendations: 2021 Industry Cyber Exposure Report for FTSE 350

As the world's knowledge workers were driven home amid a pandemic and cases of ransomware ran rampant across the internet, measuring the world's most critical businesses’ internet exposure is more important than ever.

In this round of Industry Cyber-Exposure Reports (ICERs), researchers at Rapid7 focus on FTSE 350 companies and evaluate five areas of cybersecurity that are both critical to secure to continue doing business on and across the internet, and are squarely in the power of CISOs, their IT security staff, and their internal business partners to address.

These five facets of internet-facing cyber-exposure and risk include: 1. Authenticated email origination and handling (DMARC)

2. Encryption standards for public web applications (HTTPS and HSTS)

3. Version management for web servers and email servers (focusing on IIS, nginx, Apache, and Exchange)

4. Risky protocols unsuitable for the internet (RDP, SMB, and Telnet)

5. The proliferation of vulnerability disclosure programs (VDPs).

Join this talk as Chris Hartley, UK & Ireland Lead, and Matt Rider, Director of Applied Engineering discuss the findings and provide recommendations CISOs and security practitioners can take action on.

Why aren't we all Threat Modeling?

 

50% of software vulnerabilities are found in the design. Once in production, they’re 100x more expensive to fix. The answer? Threat modeling. By scoping your security requirements in the design stage, you can avoid developer rework and delays to production - so why is no one doing it? In this session, Jonny Tennyson, Head of Client Innovation at IriusRisk, will talk about what threat modeling is, why people aren’t currently threat modeling, and ultimately ask the question: ‘why aren’t we all threat modeling?’

Presentation from Mike Seeney. Supply Chain Assurance – both sides of the fence: A Legal sector perspective

Several years ago the legal sector was in many ways perceived as the ‘flat
underbelly’ of the supply chain from a cyber and information security perspective. This however has
changed quite dramatically, as the sector has risen to greater threats from cyber-crime and
increasing regulatory challenges (often passed down the supply chain from their clients).
Mechanisms therefore to both demonstrate a compliant (and of course effective!) information
security program have therefore had to be put in place, alongside mechanisms to carry out due
diligence on suppliers who provide services to law firms. This keynote will aim to relay the
experience of ‘sitting both sides’ of the supply chain fence, and offer an insight into the pitfalls and
successes of a journey so far that many can hopefully relate to.
