Overview

January 17

State and local governments, K-12 districts, and higher education institutions face two kinds of threats: (1) Trusted Insider threats and (2) ‘Virtual’ Trusted Insider threats.

Trusted Insider threats are rogue employees using authorized access to do unauthorized acts. This can include theft of data and services, fraud, or even system destruction or theft of IP and trade secrets. Virtual trusted insider threats happen when an employee has their credentials compromised through a cyberattack or an imposter attack, enabling an outsider to pose as an insider.

No matter the type of threat, the methodology to identify each is the same: technology that constantly analyzes what is right from what is wrong.

Join world-famous security expert Eric O’Neill, the CISO for the City of Los Angeles and technology leaders from Carbon Black for a live webinar on January 17, 2024, at 11 am PT/2 pm ET to explore future approaches to cyber threats and get practical advice for any organization looking to improve its cybersecurity.

You’ll learn:

What "positive security" is and how it addresses the "risk gap"
How AI has changed the paradigm for spear phishing credential compromises
How imposter-ism is now leading to attacks without code
Why we need to think like spy hunters if we want to make the world safe from cyberattacks
