Cylance Ransomware - Remediation & Prevention Consulting Data-sheet: Current Ransomware Threat Environment
Today’s ransomware campaigns are very different from what we have seen in the past. On the one hand, ransomware can be easily obtained and used successfully by criminals that have little to no hacking skills, often referred to as Ransomware as a Service (RaaS). On the other hand, we are seeing ransomware being used for much more than just ransoms. In some cases, we have seen it used as a diversion; first harvesting credentials for later use, and then encrypting the drive to keep IT staff occupied while the attacker covers their tracks and accomplishes even more nefarious objectives. And more recently, we are seeing highly opportunistic campaigns that encrypt entire networks in an organization and delete host backups prior to encryption, leaving the entire organization held hostage and unable to operate.
Cylance® offers two complementary service offerings to help organizations address this evolving threat.
Cylance’s Proactive Prevention and Readiness services cater specifically to the ransomware epidemic by:
• Leveragingthepowerofmachinelearningandartificialintelligencetoallowpredictive,autonomous,pre-executionprevention • Providing world-renowned, highly sought after, knowledgeable consultants with the expertise to facilitate remediation of a

Distribution Industry: What is Ransomware and How Does it Work?The TNS Group
Ransomware is a form of malware that essentially holds your system and files for ransom. When you’re hit with ransomware you have no access whatsoever to your data. It’s locked down but you still have the ability to access the ransom message from the cybercriminals. The message demands payment immediately, sometimes within 24 hours. It also includes what kind of payment which is sometimes an untraceable currency like Bitcoin.
Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that Ransomware damage costs will exceed $5 billion in 2017, up more than 15X from 2015. This deck by Mat Hamlin, VP of Products at Spanning, and Brian Rutledge, Spanning's Security Engineer, will help you to:
- Understand Vulnerabilities in Various Platforms
- Get Pointers to Prepare for an Attack
- Understand How and Why Backup Helps
Webinar: Backup vs. Ransomware - 5 Requirements for Backup SuccessStorage Switzerland
Ransomware is the universal threat. No matter an organization's data center location, or its size, it can be devastated by a ransomware attack. While most organizations focus on the periphery, they also need to be prepared for a breach, something that ransomware is particularly adept. In case of a breach, an advanced backup and disaster recovery solution can ensure safe and timely recovery of data without paying ransom.
In this webinar join experts from Storage Switzerland and Micro Focus as they discuss the impact of ransomware and the core features of a backup solution that can mitigate the associated risks.

Ransomware Has Evolved And So Should Your CompanyVeriato
Ransomware is typically initiated via phishing or social engineering tactics, these attacks often take advantage of human error for the successful delivery of the malware. These criminal organizations are impartial to the size of your organization. They target any company with data, and if you don't pay the ransom, your information could be posted to a public forum or sold on the Dark Web for profit. Most companies unfortunately are forced to pay due to system failure and file corruption.
The scariest about these methods is that the Ransomware doesn't need to be developed by the attackers. Ransomware services can now be purchased on the DarkWeb and used at the Cybercriminal's will (RAAS). As these Ransomware attacks and services evolve, how can companies arm themselves with the right solutions to defend themselves from these evergrowing attacks?

Webinar: Get Ready to Detect, Respond & Recover from a Cyber AttackAujas
It is given that you will be hacked, irrespective of your level of cyber security. Learn how you can detect, respond & recover from cyber attacks. Quicker.
Key Content:
1. The threat landscape and how existing monitoring and response capabilities are ineffective in detecting and responding to advanced cyber attacks
2. Lifecycle and speed of an attack and how early detection can help in responding and managing losses
3. Blueprint for an effective (and vendor agnostic) Incident Management Program
If you have been tracking the Cyber Security News lately, one thing is for sure - Cyber Attacks are imminent and it is a matter of time when you will be the next one to come under an attack, if not already.
What Robert Mueller, Former Director of FBI said in RSA Conference in March 2012 is still very relevant.
"I am convinced that there are only two types of companies: those that have been hacked and those that will be. ” and what he says further makes it worse "And even they are converging into one category: companies that have been hacked and will be hacked again."
Cyber attacks are no more a work of lone warriors or a group of hackers but involve cyber crime syndicates, collaborating and pumping large amount of money, precision, knowledge, expertise and persistence. Their capabilities are equal if not better than state sponsors.
Data says that cyber security incidents affects all kinds of organizations - small, medium or large and across all industries - financial, telecom, utility, health care, education and more. Organizations fail to detect and respond to security incidents due to weak monitoring capabilities and lack of expertise, tools and procedures.
In this webinar we will look at the cause and effect of the problem, analyze preparedness and learn how you can better prepare, detect, respond and recover from cyber attacks.

While traditional cybersecurity defenses focus on prevention, there are many vulnerabilities and potential attacks against weapon systems. While weapon systems are more software dependent and networked than ever before, cybersecurity has not always been prioritized with regards to weapon systems acquisition.
Threat actors have advanced in their sophistication as they are well-resourced and highly skilled, oftentimes gathering detailed knowledge of the systems they want to attack. Ensuring stronger detection methods is imperative, but because these types of threats are very targeted and advanced, agencies need the capability to proactively hunt.

Abstract
The exponential growth of the Internet interconnections has led to a significant growth of cyber
attack incidents often with disastrous and grievous consequences. Malware is the primary choice
of weapon to carry out malicious intents in the cyberspace, either by exploitation into existing
vulnerabilities or utilization of unique characteristics of emerging technologies. The
development of more innovative and effective malware defense mechanisms has been regarded
as an urgent requirement in the cybersecurity community. To assist in achieving this goal, we
first present an overview of the most exploited vulnerabilities in existing hardware, software, and
network layers. This is followed by critiques of existing state-of-the-art mitigation techniques as
why they do or don\'t work. We then discuss new attack patterns in emerging technologies such
as social media, cloud computing, smartphone technology, and critical infrastructure. Finally, we
describe our speculative observations on future research directions.
A multi-layered approach to cyber security utilising machine learning and advanced analytics is
essential to defend against sophisticated multi-stage attacks including:
Insider Threats | Advanced Human Attacks | Supply Chain Infection | Ransomware |
Compromised User Accounts | Data Loss
Prepare for a cyber security incident or attack and how to adequately manage the aftermath with
an organised approach to Incident Response – coordinating resources, people, information,
technology and complying with regulations.
INSIDER THREATS
Insider threat can originate from employees, contractors, third party services or anyone with
access rights to your network, corporate data or business premises.
The challenge is to identify attacks and understand how they develop in real-time by analysing
and correlating the subtle signs of compromise that an insider makes when they infiltrate the
network.
Traditional security measures are no longer sufficient to combat insider threat. A more
sophisticated, intelligence-based approach is required. Cyberseer uses machine-learning
technology to form a behavioural baseline for every user to determine normal activity and spot
new, previously unidentified threat behaviours. The move to a more proactive approach towards
security will enable companies to take action to thwart developing situations escalating into
exfiltrated information or damaging incidents.
ADVANCED HUMAN ATTACKS
Advanced threats use a set of stealthy and continuous processes to target an organisation, which
is often orchestrated for business or political motives by individuals (or groups). The “advanced”
process signifies sophisticated techniques using malware to exploit vulnerabilities in
organisations systems. They are considered persistent because an external command and control

As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

1. RANSOMWARE PREVENTION & REMEDIATION
Don’t be the next victim
Current Ransomware Threat Environment
Today’s ransomware campaigns are very different from what we have seen in the past. On the one hand, ransomware can be
easily obtained and used successfully by criminals that have little to no hacking skills, often referred to as Ransomware as a
Service (RaaS). On the other hand, we are seeing ransomware being used for much more than just ransoms. In some cases, we
have seen it used as a diversion; first harvesting credentials for later use, and then encrypting the drive to keep IT staff occupied
while the attacker covers their tracks and accomplishes even more nefarious objectives. And more recently, we are seeing highly
opportunistic campaigns that encrypt entire networks in an organization and delete host backups prior to encryption, leaving the
entire organization held hostage and unable to operate.
Cylance®
offers two complementary service offerings to help organizations address this evolving threat.
Proactive Prevention and Readiness
Cylance offers best practices for prevention, network architecture, internal IR workflows, vulnerability and patch management,
and assessment of both internal hosts and externally facing services that criminals are using to gain foothold.
When it comes to ransomware, prevention and preparation are the best medicine. Once execution takes place, the business cost
and business risk go up exponentially. Likewise, organizations that are well prepared for ransomware can greatly minimize the
business impact of an IT incident in general.
Cylance’s Proactive Prevention and Readiness services cater specifically to the ransomware epidemic by:
• Leveraging the power of machine learning and artificial intelligence to allow predictive, autonomous, pre-execution prevention
• Providing world-renowned, highly sought after, knowledgeable consultants with the expertise to facilitate remediation of a
ransomware attack
• Imparting wisdom BEFORE the attack occurs to ensure the best preparation, preventative technologies, and workflows are
in place
The SamSam (aka Samas, or Samsa) ransomware is a new generation of ransomware that is not industry specific.
This threat:
• Does not typically rely upon traditional spear-phishing or watering-hole attack vectors
• Leverages vulnerable externally-facing services to move laterally and establish persistence, this is
performed manually by the bad actor
• Can canvas and encrypt entire networks instead of just a handful of individual hosts
• Backup systems are targeted within the network and archives deleted instead of just being
encrypted, leaving victims little to no recourse1
