As FSIs adopt new technologies to increase business efficiencies and drive new business, they are now operating with new applications, devices, and infrastructure. This not only increases their attack surface, but also the level of risk to their company and customers. But, traditional scanning and testing technologies struggle in a multi-cloud world. In this session, SafeBreach CISO Avishai Avivi will discuss how you can cut through the noise and simplify the testing of cloud controls.

FSIs often have some of the most comprehensive and mature security controls across all industry sectors, but the rewards are high for criminals who seek to gain direct access to their network and valued customer data. As FSIs update their IT and security technology and programs, managing the growing attack surface will continue to become more complex and dispersed. In this session, SafeBreach Director of Research Tomer Bar will share how attacks are conducted, which APT group have been the most active, and what risks they pose to FSI’s.

MITRE ATT&CK is, in both depth and breadth, the most extensive attack knowledge base, providing suggested mitigation techniques, detection procedures, and other relevant technical information. MITRE has expanded the Kill Chain to include a wide variety of tactics that are then supported by specific techniques. This organized approach enables FSIs to select and analyze attacks methodically and compare them to the capabilities of internal security controls to understand the gaps.

FSIs face a myriad of challenges, and the impact has resulted in a 1,318% increase in ransomware attacks in 2021. Given the increasing sophistication of these attacks, there is a growing need for FSI’s to understand their level of risk and to implement a proactive approach to defending themselves.
