Webcast Habr PRO #6. The cybersecurity world: paranoia vs common sense

In the field of security, it is easy to either overlook or, conversely, spend too much effort on nothing. Today we will invite Luka Safonov, a top author from the Information Security hub, to our webcast (LukaSafonov) and Dzhabrail Matiev (djabrail) is the head of endpoint protection at Kaspersky Lab. Together with them, we will talk about how to find that fine line where common sense turns into paranoia: where the possibilities of EPP (Endpoint protection) solutions end, who already needs Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions, and how to understand what a company can become the target of a targeted attack and what products help to cope with these threats. About what we will discuss, under the cut.

About cyber attacks as a concept

  • Recently was on Habré interview about information security, and two-thirds of the Khabrovites surveyed answered that they had encountered cybersecurity incidents in 2020. But what should be understood by the word cyberattack now? 
  • When can you say that you were affected by an attack: only if you transferred money to a cybercriminal or if you noticed a message about a threat from an antivirus? 
  • Is there a concept of redundant security in information security? 

About what and how they attack

  • What are the current cybercrime trends and who is at risk?
  • What is a complete infrastructure protection cycle?
  • Why does phishing remain at the top of all types of attacks? 
  • The password complexity dilemma: the more complex it is, the easier it is to forget - how to find a middle ground?

About who protects and how

  • Is it true that by 2022 the market will lack one million IBers?
  • To what extent does the level of training of IB officers and the entire Security Operations Center coincide with the required level of protection for companies?
  • Where do the possibilities of EPP (Endpoint protection) end, and who already needs Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)?
  • Why is it better to use one vendor for information security than several different solutions? How is the market for information security products now distributed between corporate solutions and information security solutions for the enikey operator?
