Today’s most popular security and compliance tools focus on protecting the perimeter—they manage endpoints and patch system vulnerabilities.  But cybercriminals don’t target technical vulnerabilities. They target human weakness: the distracted user who clicks on an email attachment, the eager customer who fills in credentials to claim a fake offer, a loyal employee who follows directions to wire money from a criminal impersonating their CEO. To combat these cybercriminals, learn how to build a strategy that: Reveals who is targeted and how Combats attacks before they reach your users, and Mitigates damage from the attacks that inevitably will reach your people SPEAKER: Ryan Kalember, EVP, Cybersecurity Strategy at Proofpoint.

The value of security awareness training may be obvious to you and other cybersecurity professionals. But in order to launch a new or more comprehensive training program, you’ll need to convince management—and your end users. To make your case for security awareness training, speaking the language of your customer is key.  Expect tough questions: What’s wrong with what we’re doing now? What measurable goals can the security awareness training program achieve? How does the program justify the cost? Users may have concerns the value of simulated phishing tests and whether training will interfere with their work.  Taking the time to win over doubters and skeptics can reduce obstacles—and even turn them into future champions for your security awareness training program. In this webinar, you’ll learn about:  Best practices for selling the value of security awareness training internally Preparing a business case for your training program Engaging employees through creative programming, recognition, and incentives    SPEAKERS: Dale Zabriskie, Security Awareness and Training Evangelist, Proofpoint Security Awareness Training  Joe Krock, Cyber Training and Awareness Leader, Enterprise Information Protection (EIP), Humana   Fill out the form to watch the webinar replay now.

Phishing has long been a headline threat for infosec teams — but email is just one entry point for cybercriminals. Webinar attendees will learn why it’s important to assess and train their end users about cybersecurity threats beyond email-based social engineering. During this session, we will share results from the Proofpoint Security Awareness Training 2018 Beyond the Phish® Report, which analyzes data from nearly 85 million responses to cybersecurity knowledge assessments and training challenges presented to global end users across multiple industries during 2017.

Each week we host a Cyber Threat of the Week webinar featuring a high-level look at the latest cyber threats, including current malware and ransomware,  to help security teams navigate the attack landscape, in less than 10 minutes. For this week's Interesting Threaty Byte, we bring you the LCG Kit, a new builder for malicious Microsoft Office documents. What's so fascinating about this week’s threat is it allows budding threat actors to create malicious documents of their own. CG Kit or Linear Congruential Generator was first discovered in March of 2018 and began by creating documents that exploited certain CVE's. LCG Kit has now evolved to use macros which are popular for threat actors to use to infect a person's computer. Once infected, the threat actor can further infect the victim's computer with common malwares such as;  Loki Bot, FormBook, Agent Tesla, AZORult, Revcode RAT and Quasar RAT. This Interesting Threat comes to us from our Proofpoint Threat Insight blog; "LCG Kit: Sophisticated builder for Malicious Microsoft Office Documents", located at https://www.proofpoint.com/us/threat-insight/post/lcg-kit-sophisticated-builder-malicious-microsoft-office-documents
