ONG-ISAC and INKY Webinar

“The State of Phishing: An Under the Hood Look at the Latest Phishing Tactics & Managing and Measuring Cyber Risk”

Speakers:

Dave Baggett, Founder and CEO of INKY Technology

Ron Gula, President of Gula Tech Adventures

Account Takeover Attacks (ATO) and Business Email Compromise (BEC) are most definitely on the rise and the two biggest problems facing security teams in 2020.

Criminals are using tactics that are designed to slip through legacy gateway protection.  Dave Baggett, CEO of INKY Technology will take you on an in-depth look, using real world examples, of the latest deceptive tricks being used to circumvent these secure email gateways.

In addition, he will discuss the real ATO concern – third party ATO. You can’t make your vendors implement multi-factor authentication, so what happens when their accounts get taken over and send your users emails?  Dave will walk you through the latest technique to prevent this.

Ron Gula is President of Gula Tech Adventures which focuses on cyber technology, strategy and policy.  He has his finger on the pulse of today’s cyber landscape and will give his insights into managing and measuring cyber risk.  Ron is involved in a variety of cyber nonprofits and think tanks including Defending Digital Campaigns, the Cyber Moonshot, the National Security Institute, and the Wilson Center.

Ron will cover:

  • Current state of adoption of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework
  • How commercial companies are being audited against NIST CSF
  • Current state of CMMC, ATT&CK and CMMI
  • Future concepts of standards beyond traditional Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability

Key Takeaways:

  • Why is ATO and BEC such a massive problem facing security teams?
  • What are the latest phishing super-threats facing enterprises?
  • How exactly are these attacks getting passed the secure email gateways?
  • Using multi-factor authentication and the newest techniques to prevent ATO
  • Managing and measuring cyber risk in the enterprise
