Cyber Warfare is the silent war that is taking place without the public knowing about it. Cyber warfare has the potential to wreak havoc on people’s accounts, infrastructure and critical systems. With the changing cyber attack landscape, it is critical that organizations approach cyber risk methodically and invest in controls that protect their people and core assets.

Advancements over the last decade in web technologies have reshaped the software landscape and have evolved traditional desktop software into web applications.

This transition has several advantages, but security has also become more critical than ever before. Verizon’s latest data breach incident report states that web applications have become the number one form of breach. The question becomes, how do we know if enough is being done to protect our web apps and secure the data.

Web applications can vary significantly in size, complexity, and functionality, making testing them thoroughly and effectively challenging. On top of this, not every application requires the same depth of testing, and competing technologies can require different types of tests.

This talk will discuss implementing a standardized process and methodology for testing web applications in a comprehensive, repeatable, and industry-recognized way. Join Roberto Salgado from Websec and Michael Argast from Kobalt.io

Is your data more or less secure in the cloud?
Cyber criminals target your cloud environment because that’s where you store your most valuable data. In this Attack and Defense episode, we will dive deep into several different cloud infrastructure breach events.

Key Objectives:

Deconstruct attackers tools, tactics and procedures that enabled a successful cloud compromise.
Understand lesson learned from real-life cloud infrastructure breach events.
Identify what defense strategies can be taken to reduce the risk to your cloud operations.
Your data and infrastructure can be more secure, if you take the right steps before taking flight.

Join this webinar to get insights on the risks and the vulnerabilities of your business’ cloud security.

Do you know how your team would react to a data breach?

Set clear expectations, responsibilities and establish procedures to guide your team through the process. With clear directions, your team can effectively minimize loss from incidents. In this webinar, Tyler Hatch, Founder of DFI Forensics and Michael Argast, Founder of Kobalt.io, will conduct a rapid-fire, group tabletop exercise of a breach event.

Starting with a simulated compromise, Tyler and Michael will guide you through a series of incident discovery, response, containment, analysis and remediation activities. They will ask probing questions along the way to help you actively assess your readiness to effectively handle such an event. As a result of this session, you’ll better understand your team’s ability to deal with a real-world compromise and what gaps you will want to prioritize before one happens to you.

Traditional approaches to cloud compliance are not effective anymore. Adopt new cloud security tools, technologies and automations to meet today’s growing security demands.

Join Michael Argast, Co-Founder and CEO of Kobalt.io, and Jeff Throne, Field CTO of Lacework, for a lunchinar to learn more about how to automate securities and compliances across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
