Cybersecurity Games: Building Tomorrow’s Workforce

Two seasoned cybersecurity professionals will discuss the breadth of cybersecurity in today's financial institutions, how this critical defence function operates, and what attributes a cybersecurity professional might need, to be successful in this field. They will also explore some of the recent major cybersecurity incidents from around the globe, and then talk about cybersecurity within HSBC itself.

Success in multiple industry sectors or any of the hundreds of new tech-heavy jobs emerging in the modern economy requires a core competency: computational thinking and skills. Computational thinking and skills extend beyond computer programming to include a larger set of knowledge and skills broadly captured by a wide swath of STEM disciplines, including cybersecurity. This webinar will explain why acquiring computational thinking and skills are important for STEM-related careers and how to incorporate and assess computational thinking and skills as part of cybersecurity education and training programs.

Insecure implementations of Remote Desktop Protocol have exposed organizations to serious risks of cyber attacks. Ransomware like SamSam and cryptominers like CrySis exploit insecure configurations, resulting in large and well-publicized breaches like the one that occurred at LabCorp. Because of the nature of Remote Desktop Protocol, these exposures often occur outside of organizations' known IP space, making them difficult to detect and remediate. This webinar will discuss how easily these misconfigurations can occur, how organizations can discover them, even outside of normal IP space, and how they can establish playbooks to remediate and reduce occurrence over time.

Mobile operating systems (OSs) are fundamentally different from other endpoint OSs. Simply porting a security solution developed for a different platform over to mobile is inadequate and can leave your enterprise vulnerable. Effective enterprise mobile security requires a purpose-built solution that: Can protect mobile devices against known and unknown threats. Operates effectively even when an attacker controls the network.
