Top 5 Cybersecurity Misconceptions

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.

Email is still the #1 attack vector the bad guys use. A whopping 91% of cyberattacks start with a phishing email, but email hacking is much more than phishing and launching malware! Join us and Roger A. Grimes, KnowBe4's Data-Driven Defense Evangelist and security expert with over 30-years of experience, as we explore 10 ways hackers use social engineering to trick your users into revealing sensitive data or enabling malicious code to run. Plus, we'll share a (pre-filmed) hacking demo by KnowBe4's Chief Hacking Officer Kevin Mitnick.

CI/CD pipelines are the heartbeat of cloud-native supply chains. Developers and DevOps teams depend on them every day to test, integrate, and deliver software, but as they become more exposed to the outside world, they can introduce new complexities and weaknesses. And as the saying goes, chains are only as strong as their weakest link.

No doubt as a security leader you are constantly making decisions on what tools and solutions are needed to secure your elusive IT landscape. Complexity may be threatening your security posture as you react to secure your hybrid workloads. Join Leo Taddeo, CISO at Cyxtera and former Special Agent in Charge of the Special Operations/Cyber Division of the FBI’s New York Office alongside Jason Garbis and Ian Breeze of Cyxtera, as we address the mounting complexity security professionals face today.
