During this webinar, Kaspersky Digital Footprint Intelligence expert Anna Pavlovskaya will explore the motivations and drivers of cybercriminals, providing a unique perspective on the threats coming from the dark web to companies of all sizes.

In this webinar, Kaspersky experts will discuss how ChatGPT currently influences the cyber threats landscape and cybersecurity in organizations, and contemplate whether this is a real game changer for the industry and, in particular Security Operation Centers (SOCs). The experts will also discuss the potential benefits of using ChatGPT in threat hunting and malware analysis.

In large companies, the sheer volume of information resources makes their attack surface significantly larger, compared to smaller businesses. Numerous factors contribute to this exposure, including networks spread across various locations that are consolidated into a single infrastructure, mergers and acquisitions with companies possessing lower security levels, outdated hardware and software, and more.

The level of preparedness for a potential incident directly impacts the effectiveness of the response and allows you to mitigate the attack’s impact. In this webinar, you will learn how to enhance incident responses for large-scale networks.

In today’s media landscape, we consistently encounter news of companies falling victim to cyberattacks, resulting in the exposure and sale of their data on the dark web. The wide array of data available on the dark web market, including internal databases, infrastructure access, and compromised accounts, presents a pervasive problem that affects businesses of all sizes. These breaches and related incidents don’t only disrupt operations and damage reputations, but they can also result in substantial fines and legal consequences.

Cybercriminals tend to be secretive and act without disclosing their identity. However, when it comes to ransomware negotiations, the victim and the attacker have to “meet” face-to-face. Moreover, by the time the two sides meet to discuss the price, the attackers have already gained control of a company’s data or network – that puts the victim in a weak position.

What is it like to negotiate with someone who is trying hard to get a ransom whilst remaining in the dark? What can you expect from such negotiations? In this webcast, Insights to Ransomware Tactics and Negotiation, Marc Rivero, senior security researcher, GReAT at Kaspersky will observe various tactics used by ransomware groups, explain how the companies are trying to negotiate with these cybercriminals, and what outcome such negotiations may have.

Security Operations Centers (SOCs) have long recognized the critical need for building effective detection techniques. In this webinar, Andrey Tamoykin, an expert at Kaspersky SOC Consulting will explain how to develop and prioritize a detection backlog from scratch using the MITRE ATT&CK framework.

We will explore various open-source tools to automate and streamline this process, providing practical insights and solutions to common challenges in detection engineering. This session will also cover key SOC development aspects driven by an optimized detection backlog.

Not only do cybercriminals make money by committing cybercrime, but they also expand their operations by offering services to individuals without strong technical skills in malware development. This business model is known as Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS), and it operates on various sites of the “shadow” internet, including the Darknet. MaaS generates stable profits, enabling cybercriminals to maintain a team and continuously improve their services to carry out attacks on companies and individual users.

Through our research, we have identified 97 families of malware that have been distributed in the MaaS format – or “by subscription” – over the last seven years. These families include ransomware, various loaders, backdoors, botnets, and infostealers.

Kaspersky’s Global Research and Analysis Team is constantly monitoring known and emerging cyberthreats targeting the financial industry, including banks and fintech companies. We will review the key events that occurred in 2024 in the financial cyberthreat landscape and then predict the trends for 2025.

As AI systems based on large language models become more powerful and widespread, more cybersecurity challenges emerge. From jailbreaks to indirect prompt injections, they are vulnerable to a wide array of LLM-specific threats. However, all these problems can be boiled down to one single issue: LLMs are probabilistic algorithms that are inherently unreliable, just like any other ML system. Does it mean they cannot be useful? Absolutely not! In this talk, we will discuss the challenges of secure and reliable LLM-based applications and the way to make them safer and more aligned with your business goals.

In 2023, Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response (MDR) received more than 314,000 alerts worldwide. Kaspersky team processed these alerts and accumulated as anonymized customer cases to provide information about the current threat landscape. Sergey Soldatov, Head of Kaspersky Security Operations Center, will discuss the nature of the identified incidents and highlight the most common tactics and techniques attackers used.

While some of the existing cybersecurity solutions already provide Endpoint Detection and Response functionality for small and medium business, implementation of EDR in these organizations can cause doubts.
