Session one: Modern Cyber Risks for 2024 | June 5 | 1:00 – 2:00 p.m.
The pace of cyber fraud and the number of breaches hitting the headlines has not diminished. This session will explore the current state of cyber threats, detailing how attackers progress from your social media and online exposure through phishing and account compromises to data breaches, data theft and ransomware. We will discuss attacker motivations, common “low hanging fruit,” and strategies prevent intrusions where we can, and mitigate the impact of intrusions or breaches when they occur. We will review case studies and “in the news” examples from the last 24 months that had significant impact on businesses. Throughout the session we will examine root causes leading to breaches and mitigation strategies to minimize likelihood and impact.
Session two: Ransomware Preparedness | June 19 | 1:00 – 2:00 p.m.
The surge in ransomware attacks over recent years has highlighted the critical importance of being prepared to defend against and respond to such threats. In this session, we will delve into real-life case studies of ransomware incidents, drawing essential lessons from each scenario. We will analyze at least two distinct ransomware attacks, exploring their origins, methodologies and impacts on affected organizations. By dissecting these case studies, we will uncover common vulnerabilities and security lapses that contributed to the success of the attacks.
Session three: Office 365 Breaches – Lessons Learned the Hard Way | July 10 | 1:00 – 2:00 p.m.
The last two years have provided significant learning opportunities in incident response, disaster recovery and business continuity. This session will analyze case studies of Microsoft Office 365 breaches and email compromise situations from the last 18 months that had significant impact on businesses. We will use case studies from at least two different Office 365 email compromise events to discuss common security issues, identify key security controls, and role play incident response scenarios. We will conclude with a walk through of the results from several recent Office 365 security reviews to highlight how real-world scenarios could have positive or negative impacts on the case studies. Through examination of the case studies, we will explore strategies to mitigate the risks related to these types of situations and attacks and discuss the elements and structure of incident response plans.
