Building a Resilient Hybrid IT-Infrastructure - Minimize the Impact of a Breach

The common factor in most breach cases is misconfigured infrastructure, leading to downtime ranging from hours to several weeks. This raises the age-old question, "What could we have done differently to prevent this?"

Based on over 33,000 hours of Incident Response engagements spanning more than 210 cases last year alone, we will show you how to build your IT infrastructure in a resilient manner to delay and detect the bad actors before they can do any actual damage.

1-day workshop - Implementing AppLocker – the Right way!

Duration: 1 day
Instructors: Sami Laiho
Language: English

 

In 2020 the most important security measure in enterprises is whitelisting” said Gartner and multiple other agencies. Only the inventory of assets has now bypassed it on the list. On the other hand if you don’t have binary control, it’s impossible to keep software inventory up to date.
Since 2021 the most used initial attack vector by RansomWare changed from Phishing to Unpatched Vulnerabilities – the way to limit the enormous amount of patching is to limit and control the binaries you allow. In Windows this means you need to implement AppLocker, which now is available for PRO-versions as well! 

Join this one-day class( in person) where one of the leading experts in Windows OS and Security, Sami Laiho, shows you how to effectively and securely deploy AppLocker in your environment.

Gartner has said that one of the most needed changes in enterprise security is to move to a least privilege approach, whitelisting of applications and overall proactive security.

Microsoft said in February 2018 that 85% of all security threats would have been mitigated by moving to proactive security. In year 2017 all major antimalware companies reported more than 1.000.000 new malware samples EVERY day! Do you really need more convincing that you need to do it as well than these facts. Well there is more just make you sure...

Sami has been consulting companies with 10 computers and enterprises with close to 600.000 endpoints. Many things that you take for granted when it comes to energy or money is actually secured by his knowledge. Don’t miss out, this is the cheapest consulting you will ever get, while learning!

While the client and the server versions share the same Kernel there certain things that only apply to Windows Servers – this course also includes the needed info on how to protect Windows Server and infrastructure services! Level 300 class
