Stellar Cyber - How to be Successful with SecOps in a Downturn		View YouTube Video	SecOps groups are challenged more than ever as budgets tighten and cyber-threats continue to rise unabated. Ideally, SecOps should be a way to safely and confidently enable your security group (and your whole organization) to run leaner and more efficiently. Metrics are the foundation for SecOps, but you have to ensure that those metrics tell the real story, rather than keeping your analysts frustrated by chasing meaningless alerts.To do this, you need to assess your detection and response tools and move to a more holistic platform that integrates with your Check Point firewall and gives you all of the metrics across your attack surface in one pane of glass, detects even the most complex attacks, and presents contextual information about exactly how to respond. And responding to attacks should mean more than locking down assets – when your analysts respond, the platform should enable them to create playbooks so the platform can automatically prevent similar scenarios from having any impact at all. We will cover these ideas in this session and give use case examples of how to succeed.

Topic	Speaker	Content	Description
Black Basta and the Unnoticed Delivery	Raman Ladutska Reverse Engineer, Check Point	View YouTube Video	As reported by Check Point at the end of H1 2022, 1 out of 40 organizations worldwide were impacted by ransomware attacks, which constitutes a worrying 59% increase over the past year. The ransomware business continues to grow in gargantuan proportions due to the lucrative payments demanded – and often received – by cybercrime gangs. With the addition of double extortion, ransomware attacks became even more appealing: even if the victim refuses to pay, the stolen private data may be sold in a Darknet forum for a considerable sum. Judging by the attention to detail we observed in a recent Black Basta incident spotted by the Check Point Incident Response Team, the operators behind this ransomware also have an impressive organizational structure.

Google is On Guard: Sharks Shall Not Pass!	Alex Shamshur Reverse Engineer, Check Point Raman Ladutska Reverse Engineer, Check Point	View YouTube Video	When searching for an anti-virus (AV) solution to protect your mobile, the last thing one would expect is for it to make your device vulnerable to malware. This is what the CPR team encountered while analyzing suspicious applications found on the Google Play store. These applications were disguised as genuine AV solutions, but in reality, users downloaded and installed an Android banker and stealer called Sharkbot. This malware implements a geofencing feature and evasion techniques, which makes it stand out from the rest of malware families. It also makes use of what is called domain generation algorithm (DGA), an aspect rarely used in the world of Android malware.

Why Second-Best Security Will Get You Breached	Moti Sagey VP, Strategic Marketing, Check Point	Presentation   View YouTube Video	History tells us that there comes a time when almost every new innovative service starts to lose ground to a “good enough” competitor. Like TV’s, Medicines, smartphones etc. With the huge growth of attacks and breaches in the past year such as: Log4J, SolarWinds, Kaseya / Revil, Colonial Pipeline to name a few we see a pattern: Organizations that invested a lot in “good enough” security products lost the Cyber battle. It’s apparent that “good enough” or "2nd best" though fitting for smartphones or cars, could spell trouble as this mindset creeps into the cyber security industry. Now more than ever in this “New World” more digitized than ever before, I believe the single greatest cyber threat to organizations today is the “good enough” standard that’s being sold by key players within the cyber security industry. “Good enough” mindset will get you breached. In order to overcome this mindset, businesses need to MIND THE GAP between good enough solutions and the BEST SECURITY solutions by asking the hard questions and evaluating their cyber security strategy. This will be the focus of Moti session, what makes a security solution the best, and what does BEST stand for according to our customers?
