How to Stop Cyber Attacks with Intelligence-Led Security Decisions

On May 2, 2019, the President issued an Executive Order that recognized America’s cybersecurity workforce as a strategic asset that protects the American people, the homeland, and the American way of life. The executive order further recognized the need to enhance workforce mobility to improve cybersecurity and the importance of supporting the development of cybersecurity skills. This webinar will provide insights into the policy established through this executive order, the tasks and deliverables contained within it, and the consultative process to be used to execute recommendations from the 2017 Report to the President on Supporting the Growth and Sustainment of the Nation’s Cybersecurity Workforce.

The ever-changing threat landscape continues to challenge businesses who attempt to protect critical data, improve security posture, and remain compliant. That challenge is intensified when adding the constant risk of operating systems going end of life and pushing endpoints out of compliance against many modern data security laws, regulations, and compliance policies. The risk is too great and businesses can no longer afford to take a passive stance when it comes to maintaining system endpoints and ensuring that vulnerabilities are in check.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is essentially the central nervous system of the internet—everyone needs it to work because without DNS services, digital business would come to a halt. Cybercriminals know this, too, and use DNS services to launch their attacks while they simultaneously attack the DNS services of their targets.

Application programming interfaces (APIs) are the basic building blocks to enabling business applications and software to communicate and share data. Therefore, cyber-attacks targeting APIs can be a major headache to businesses, potentially leading to large-scale data breaches as well as causing massive disruption. Yet, API security has never been more broken, with security teams unprepared for surging levels of attacks targeting these software intermediaries. In this webinar, a panel of experts will review the state of API cybersecurity and provide insights into how to protect these interfaces from an increasingly high volume of attacks.
