Topic: The Coming Cyberspace Cold War with Russia

Speaker: Morgan Wright

Presentation Summary: There’s a very good reason Russia has not deployed their latest cyber weapons against Ukraine. They’re saving them for the United States in what may be the beginning of a modern cold war played out in cyberspace. NATO has declared cyber to be an operational domain, and subject to Article 5 in case of a “massive” cyber-attack. But what does “massive” mean? Russia will play the fringes in the gray space of policy to conduct low-intensity warfare, using their tools and tactics refined against adversaries like Ukraine. The result? Unrestricted warfare against our critical infrastructure, espionage operations targeting the software supply chain, and new cyberweapons.

Topic:  

The attack lifecycle.  Staying one step ahead of Adversaries  

Description:  As adversaries continue to improve their scanning and exploitation efforts through known and previously unknown attack surface vulnerabilities (e.g, zero days), it is incumbent on every organization to adopt a stratagem combining continuous monitoring of the attack surfaces of their entire 3rd party ecosystem with an aggressive plan to intelligently inform and work with the 3rd parties in the identification and remediation of the most impactful, highly targeted attack vectors.  As companies continue to outsource their products, processes and programs to vendors and suppliers - and thus spread their operational risk - their reputational and financial exposure is increasing every day.   We will look at the current cyber environment and discuss the necessary platform elements to stay one step ahead.
