Combatting cyber-threats at scale

How can information security leaders address the widespread and fast-changing cyber-threat landscape?

 

Cyber-security has evolved into an industrial-scale problem. There are far too many scams for security teams to keep up with. Threats are always changing. Shifting IT architectures, such as the move to the cloud and the integration of AI, are creating new threats.

 

The traditional approach to cyber-security has been to react to individual threats, such as new malware variants, as they arise. But these reactive approaches no longer work in the face of a tsunami of threats. Security leaders require an at-scale solution that provides a proactive method of getting ahead of the cyber-criminals before they cause damage.

 

Such an approach is made possible by targeting the underlying web infrastructure criminals use: IP address and DNS data. Threat intelligence from DNS data is extremely powerful, but is often ignored by security teams for several reasons: it is constant, low levels of data are carried, DNS data is critical to operations, and it is generally trusted.

Criminals use DNS data in many ways to exfiltrate data. However, analysing this data can identify suspicious traffic that would otherwise go unremarked. This is a highly effective strategy: the criminal “middlemen” used by many hackers are mostly well known and the way they engage with the DNS system, such as registering multiple URLs, can be monitored. With machine learning and analytics this data can trigger automatic responses with negligible levels of false positives.

 

Join us to network with your peers and gain practical insights into strategies for combatting cyber-threats at-scale and getting ahead of the hackers. This is an exclusive event and seat numbers are very limited, so apply for your place now.

 

The topics we will explore

 

During the meeting we will focus on questions such as:

• Why are traditional reactive security methods ineffective at a time of industrialised cyber-threats? How can security teams change from reactive to proactive?
• Why is it important to move from combatting individual threats to engaging with the infrastructure that cyber-criminals use?
• What is the significance of DNS traffic and registrations to cyber-security? How can threat intelligence based on DNS data strengthen security postures?
• How can AI assist security leaders by automating threat detection? What is the likely effect on false positive and false negative rates if AI is used to combat threats?
