What Makes a Security Rating? Deep Dive Into Threat Data Feeds

Just last year, cybercriminals attempted to poison the water supply in Florida by hacking into a city’s system. An airplane manufacturer’s confidential customer data files were breached and leaked on the Internet. A major gas pipeline was shut down by a ransomware attack. A major meat producer was forced to close down all its plants. Hackers are now targeting industrial and infrastructure. At the same time, more and more facilities are going to connected operations to empower new efficiencies. How do we keep our facilities protected amid these growing dangers and opportunities?

Attackers are targeting Active Directory in nearly every type of attack, especially ransomware attacks. Unfortunately, organizations struggle with where to begin to secure AD, as well as what should be emphasized. The end result is a weak AD security posture that is easily attacked and exploited by attackers. There is a solution to securing AD to disrupt attackers. By prioritizing the most exploited settings, the attack surface of AD can be dramatically reduced.

Unfortunately, these webcasts still seem to be needed because there is a prevalent attitude that it is somehow possible to get endpoint security with full synergy and it will be bulletproof and under a single pane of glass. All with cyber threat intelligence and A.I. sprinkled in with a bit of EDR magic to stop all attacks.
