Securing the Corridors of Knowledge

On September 1st of this year, China’s Data Security Law went into effect, including strict guidelines on data residency. Combined with the existing Cybersecurity law and the PIPL regulation to come into effect on November 1st, this creates new requirements for data storage and processing. Companies that do business in China may need to keep some data in China only. This has significant implications for global companies that rely on Salesforce.

The number of threats that can impact an organization is far greater than the number to which most analysts can manually respond. This problem is amplified by the sheer volume of alerts generated by existing tools, and the difficult task of prioritizing each one. By the time a threat is detected, investigated and manually remediated, dwell time has already been significant, increasing the risk of damage. BluVector and Carbon Black work together to provide an integrated solution for end-to-end and immediate protection from advanced malware, while also driving efficiency improvements across an organization.

When usernames and passwords are compromised in a data breach, the consequences extend far beyond the victim organization due to rampant password reuse. For this reason, NIST recently recommended that organizations check users’ credentials against a set of known compromised passwords. However, by patroning dark web forums and paying for spilled credentials, enterprises indirectly support the criminal ecosystem. Furthermore, attackers often don’t publicly post stolen data until months or years after the breach, if at all. Is there a better way to follow NIST guidelines and protect users from account takeover? Join Justin Richer, co-author of NIST Digital Identity Guidelines 800-63B, and Gautam Agarwal, Shape's Senior Director of Product Management, for a lively discussion on NIST’s password recommendations and how best to prevent account takeover fraud at your organization.

This webinar from Women in CyberSecurity (WiCyS) and the Security Industry Association (SIA) will present the findings of The Cybersecurity Imperative research project produced by WSJ Pro Cybersecurity and ESI ThoughtLab and sponsored by SIA. We will share insights into how 1,000-plus organizations around the globe measure their cybersecurity preparedness and how they are preparing for future cyber threats.
