Cyberattacks are becoming a “when, not if” reality. In the final block of sessions at #CyberSecure, we'll be providing you with strategies to help your organization fix security vulnerabilities and take the critical first steps after a breach happens.
First up is Alex Jones of @cobalt_io. He's discussing how your organization can reinforce its security strategy to better identify and address security vulnerabilities. #CyberSecure
He's discussing five themes:

-It's not a zero sum game
-It's not a technology problem (it's a people problem)
-The solution requires people and process innovation (the tech is there already)
-It's complicated, but not impossible
-We're all in this together

#CyberSecure
We, too, are a lover of memes. How we used to think about cybersecurity, according to Jones of @cobalt_io at #CyberSecure 👇
Will you know what to do when the unthinkable happens? Your first steps after you realize your organization's systems have been compromised can make all the difference in how your business recovers. Get a critical step-by-step guide to surviving a cyber crisis.
This is the final session of #CyberSecure—with Sean Koessel of @Volexity
1. When an organization first becomes aware of a possible breach, a third part like @Volexity has to validate this alert.
2. The organization should also pull in only the people it needs to determine if should spin up its incident response

#CyberSecure
3. If you attempt to start your own investigation before contacting a third party, don't do anything that hurts the preservation of the compromised system. You might destroy evidence.
*If your organization doesn't have an incident response plan, the perfect time to create one is now. Don't wait until during or after you're alerted of a breach. #CyberSecure
"You do not want to be figuring these things out during the heat battle," says Koessel. Prepare your organization for a cybersecurity breach before it happens. #CyberSecure
This was another fascinating conversation about cybersecurity and preparing your organization for the worst.

One parting piece of advice: stay calm, stay hydrated, stay well-rested.

Thanks Sean!

#CyberSecure
That's it for this block of sessions and the programming for #CyberSecure. Now we have our final wrap up with editors.

@HowellONeill gave some parting words for cybercriminals and the checklist we unintentionally gave them for continuing what they do.
.@AmyNordrum was interested in how GPT-3 and other large language models could be used in cyberattacks and what's being done to thwart them.
Among the many lessons @bobbie learned, one is to stay hydrated during a crisis. 🥤
That's it for #CyberSecure 2021. If you enjoyed this programming, sign up for our free, live event showcasing our #InnovatorsUnder35. It's next month. trib.al/vdC42YW

Introducing The #ExtortionEconomy, a 5-part podcast series with @ProPublica that looks at the money, people, and technology behind the explosion of ransomware that is delivering hundreds of millions of dollars to cybercriminals around the world.
@propublica This is a podcast about ransomware... but it's not really about ransomware.
@propublica It's not about securing your password, and it's not about enabling two-factor authentication. It's not your IT manager telling you how to avoid a phishing attack.

Cybercriminals exploit the lack of international cybercrime mandates and the existence of unregulated financial systems that enable anonymous transfer of funds. In this special programming break at #CyberSecure, @MarietjeSchaake explores the changes necessary to stem the tide.
We're seeing an interrelationship between misinformation campaigns and traditional cyberattacks. #CyberSecure
"When it comes to ransomware, the accountability needs to be closed ... That makes it too easy for maligned attackers to gain ground" - @MarietjeSchaake

Holding cybercriminals accountable requires cooperation across country lines. That's because the current situation stretches internationally. In this next block of #CyberSecure sessions, we explore how.
As we dive into this topic, we have a special surprise for you. Stay tuned #CyberSecure.

Machine learning-based cybersecurity is only as good as the detection models it’s based on. This #CyberSecure session with Ignacio Arnaldo of @corelight_inc looks at requirements and best practices.
In the previous block of sessions, we touched on how, in 2018, @Darktrace showed that unsupervised-learning models can spot hackers who have already broken in. technologyreview.com/2018/11/16/139…
We also threw cold water on AI for cybersecurity, reporting on how hackers could foil these security algorithms by targeting the data they train on and the warning flags they look for. #CyberSecure technologyreview.com/2018/08/11/141…

In this next block of sessions at #CyberSecure, we’re learning about the latest cybersecurity technologies, including how artificial intelligence is being used to unearth vulnerabilities.
There are benefits and drawbacks to using artificial intelligence for cybersecurity. There are also a whole host of other emerging technologies that can defend against disinformation and computational propaganda. Providing an overview at #CyberSecure is @LUMKatrusya.
We’ve written a bit about how AI is being used to detect hackers.
