Watch this practical webinar series about cybersecurity solutions, prepared by Liam Cleary, MVP,
Associate Director and Solution Architect for Protiviti
. These webinars walk you through the hacking
process, the techniques hackers use once inside your network, and the tools and techniques you can use
to defend your IT environment. At the end of the three-webinar series, you will have a better understanding
of your organization’s cybersecurity posture and be able to improve your protection strategy.

Initial Compromise: How Attackers Break in

Today, hacking tools are so easy to find and use that attackers no longer need specialized skills and knowledge; they simply deploy the tool of their choice. As a result, attacks are more frequent than ever, and it’s critical for internal information technology and security teams to spot them quickly. The key to protecting your environment is knowing what types of attacks to look for.

In this webinar, you will learn:
  • What common attack methods can be used to compromise a network, server or device
  • How to identify the threats to your information security space
  • How to mitigate the risk of the attacks
  • What tools can help you to identify attacks

Hiding in Plain Sight:
How Attackers Move through the Network Undetected

Once attackers have breached the perimeter, they often lurk in the network for months, looking for valuable data to steal. To stay hidden, they try to make their actions blend in with normal traffic.

By the end of this session, you will know:
  • What techniques attackers use to traverse the network without raising alarms
  • What native Microsoft tools can help you spot covert attacks
  • How you can identify the hiding attacks by using Netwrix Auditor functionality

Privilege Escalation:
How Hackers Get Elevated Permissions

Often, to inflict damage on critical systems or steal the data they want, attackers need administrative-level access. Gaining those permissions is not a simple task, since most operating systems now have built-in protections against privilege escalation. But many attackers do succeed.

During this webcast, you will discover:
  • Top methods that attackers use to escalate their privileges
  • How to defend against these techniques
  • How you can quickly identify and investigate privilege escalation
