In 2023, organizations worldwide faced increasing sophistication of cyber-attacks…With generative AI as a powerful catalyst, the story of the year is not just change, but the acceleration of change.

In a threat environment where getting breached isn’t a matter of if, but when, DataEndure’s monthly TECH Talks cover cybersecurity hot topics and insights to help businesses remain on secure footing.

In this compilation podcast, we feature key year-end takeaways to strengthen your security posture. Segments include:

  • It only takes 1-click to create a ransomware situation (0:02)
  • ChatGPT is an infant that’s been given the Internet (0:47)
  • What does “good” cybersecurity look like? (2:55)
  • Traditional gateway-based email security falls short (7:39)
  • Preparing for the inevitable (17:36)
  • It isn’t about the tools, it’s about layers of defense (22:20)
  • Getting to security maturity (26:19)

Phishing, deepfakes, and more are in the wild, breaching the confines of the inbox and exploiting the information people share across social platforms. Given the convergence of work and personal digital spaces, what once might have locked up a home computer can now bring down a corporate network.

In a shifting threat landscape, waiting to react to the threats of tomorrow isn’t an option. In 2024, join us on the last Thursday of the month for actionable intelligence to fortify your cybersecurity posture.

93% of attacks come through email, and it only takes 1-click to create a ransomware situation. Inevitably, things are going to get through—which is why organizations can’t rely on their employees as a first line of defense.

Getting breached isn’t a matter of if, it’s when. Employees should receive recurring training because testing isn’t enough.

In this talk, we address the pressing need for businesses to:

  1. Be prepared, and
  2. Make sure employees know how to spot bad stuff.

In this TECH Talk, we dive into recent Censys research: millions of files with potentially sensitive data have been exposed by 314,000 distinct internet-connected devices and servers with open directory listings.

Open directories provide cybercriminals with a treasure map to a company’s sensitive information such as financial data, backups, network packet capture files, credential and authentication information—the potential for exploitation makes open directories a valuable target for adversaries.

While this isn’t a new problem, it’s a persistent threat. We explore:

  • The risks associated with open directories
  • Real-world examples of data exposure and its consequences
  • Best practices for securing your organization’s digital assets

We also share the essential steps organizations should implement now.

The MGM breach serves as a wake-up call for all organizations. If they can be breached, anyone can be breached.

Back in the day, cybercriminals had to get their hands dirty—literally. They’d go dumpster diving for sensitive documents and information. Fast forward to today, and social networks have become the new treasure trove.

In the case of MGM, it seems the hackers utilized social network engineering as a successful entry point. While we’ll likely never know the details, this is an enterprise that has invested heavily in cybersecurity.

We’re in the era of accelerated threats and significant consequences. Listen as our hosts dive in to how companies can prepare proactively and defensively for what’s coming at them.

The meteoric rise of ChatGPT has taken the world by surprise—and there’s no putting the genie back in the bottle. In this 30-min talk, we’ll take a beat to look at the cybersecurity implications. Like all powerful tools, ChatGPT can be used for good and for ill. While we expect a future wave of advancements that will help strengthen security, right now, cyber-adversaries are leveraging ChatGPT and other generative AI to do harm.

Join DataEndure as we look at the good, the bad, and the ugly. As organizations tap into the speed, productivity, and scale that generative AI affords, we’ll zero in on the security implications. The days of traditional, rule-based approaches to cybersecurity are behind us. The new landscape requires “smarter” technology and training, but some things remain the same.

“Secure the endpoint!” While this has become the mantra for solving the cybersecurity challenge, the endpoint is just 1 of 4 critical factors that contribute to a solid security stance.

Endpoint security isn’t nearly enough. The growing threat of increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks requires a security strategy that delivers more visibility into every application and user on the network.

Organizations who adhere to solely an endpoint-focused security posture are extremely vulnerable. Why? They miss the ticking clock: DWELL TIME.

On average, dwell time is over 6 months. That’s a lot of time for a cyberattacker to have free reign in an environment!

Moreover, the traditional security approach was designed to jump into effect at the initial execution of an attack; and log collection is only used for forensics after the fact to perform the incident response. Join DataEndure’s March TECH talk as we discuss what a complete security stack looks like, and how to ensure you are equipped to stand up to any adversary.

One of the storylines coming out of the recent World Economic Forum was the Global Cyber Outlook for 2023. Of note: 86% of business leaders believe there will be a catastrophic cyber-attack in the next 2 years and 43% feel it will have a material impact on their business. Billionaire Warren Buffett was quoted as saying cyber-attacks were a bigger threat to humanity than nuclear weapons.

Scary and somewhat nebulous. DataEndure’s February TECH talk will move beyond the headlines, dive further into this report, and discuss some important takeaways that are relevant and actionable to prepare and secure any organization for whatever lies ahead.
