The Key Privileged Access and Security Implications of Granting Third-Party Vendor Access

Every company is concerned about data breaches, and for good reason—according to industry estimates, approximately half of the companies in the U.S. have suffered a data breach. As organizations seek to better secure their environments, they are facing a number of challenges including growing data volumes and expanded attack surfaces, as well as data silos and the inability to enable data-driven decisions about security issues in real time. It is not surprising that security and privacy rank in the top three data-related priorities in TDWI surveys.

Kubernetes security is becoming more challenging as the number of clusters running cloud-native applications continues to multiply rapidly. Challenges range from allowing in only legitimate traffic and enabling least-privileged communications between services to defend against attacks moving laterally between clusters, to validating how a workload is operating within the expected guardrails.

2018 is the year of high volume DDoS attacks. Since the emergence of the new attack vector memcached reflection in February, new bandwidth records have been set. Companies worldwide suddenly found themselves exposed to a new DDoS risk. In a webinar, the Link11 IT security experts Karsten Desler and Aatish Pattni explain how to assess the threats. Today's global IT infrastructures face a DDoS threat that has never existed before with such massive bandwidths. This issue relates to attack vectors, which can hit companies with a really destructive attack volume due to enormous amplification factors. The largest possible 'amplification reflection vector' to date has been detected in memcached reflection attacks. Cyber criminals can theoretically use the vector to increase their attacks by a factor of 50,000.

Join Andy Pendergast, co-author of the Diamond Model and co-founder of ThreatConnect and Monzy Merza, Director of Cyber Research at Splunk to see how you can apply Threat Intelligence to protect your organization and prevent future breaches. During the talk, Andy will share threat intel on a nation state threat and Monzy will do a live demonstration of operationalizing the new Threat Intelligence.
