We’ll discuss the challenges to secure today’s remote enterprise and how traditional approaches fall short. We will propose a modern approach to simplify security for remote teams.

The Russian- Ukrainian Crisis have sparked a chain reaction of cyber events that are changing the Threat Landscape. Join this session to learn what Cyber activity Trellix has observed related to the conflict and what impact these global events had on Russian based cybercrime groups. We will dive into the leaked communications of a top tier Ransomware gang called Conti and learn about their, strategy, partnerships, and RU-government connections.  Lastly we will discuss how all of this might eventually change the future threat landscape.

While the main perception is that the “user problem” is due to a malicious party trying to trick well intentioned users, users who are unaware, apathetic, careless, etc., are more likely to be the cause of loss. Either way, the cybersecurity industry realizes this and develops tactics such as awareness, MFA, DLP, etc. to mitigate the problem. Despite all of these tactics, 90%+ of all losses result from attacks targeting users. This presentation is a comprehensive strategy to address the insider threat, whether it results from malicious or well-meaning insiders.
