Event Description: Dynamic IT environments and digital transformation initiatives are vulnerable to bad actors that use a variety of tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) to launch highly targeted attacks through traditional IT processes. Ransomware, supply chain, and other modern security threats continue to pose a risk to organizations both within the DoD AND the innovation ecosystem.
Join CrowdStrike to learn about evolving attack scenarios against Academia, the Defense Industrial Base, and the DoD. In this webinar we will:
• Brief current adversarial trends
• Discuss risks to the DoD, the innovation ecosystem, and academic institutions
• Revisit lessons learned from the SolarWinds/Sunburst attack and its relevance now:
Golden SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language)
• Review key best practices for today’s cyber security leaders
