Want to sort cybercrime fact from fiction? Do you think you know the difference? Test your knowledge. In this OHUG sponsored webinar, GreyHeller will set the record straight about cybersecurity myths using data from its Annual Cybersecurity Survey, the Sans Survey and live audience polling.
This engaging and interactive webinar session will test your internal and external threat knowledge and give you the tools necessary to assess your organizations’ PeopleSoft security. All participants will be given a copy of GreyHeller’s Confidential Threat Assessment Matrix which identifies the internal, external and data threat vectors the bad guys have used to compromise HCM data.
The session will include information on:
- Data Masking
- Data Leakage
- Multi-Factor Authentication
- Location Based Security
- Self Service Use
- High Privilege Access
- Logging/Analysis & Forensic Investigation
We will conclude with real world case studies of how PeopleSoft customers are protecting their HCM data from cybercrime.
The year has been full of cyber attacks that have left sensitive information ranging from bank accounts to social security numbers exposed and vulnerable.
From data breaches at eBay and Michaels to the recent and devastating attack on Sony, no business is safe from cybercrime though many fail to realize the seriousness of the situation.
And it’s a problem that will only grow in severity. The value of cybercrime is expected to exceed $1 trillion by 2020, and the current market for security technology is more than $40 billion, according to Hendrix H. Bodden, chief executive officer of GreyHeller.
“It is more frightening than anybody actually realizes that isn’t in this business,”Bodden said in an interview. “I think that 2014 has seen so many high profile breaches, even JPMorgan Chase has been breached. They were able to index virtually every node, “virtually every terminal, every Web server on the JPMorgan network. JPMorgan’s CEO Jamie Dimon said they’re at least doubling their cyber-security budget, and I do think that companies are taking it more seriously.I think boards of directors, shareholders, and customers are starting to ask, ‘What are you doing to protect your valuable assets?”
There Are a Wide Variety of Cyber Criminals
“What happens is I’ll click on a link and that link will actually take me to what appears to be a legitimate site and I’ll enter information,” Bodden said. “Once I’ve entered that information, the bad guy’s site will then forward me on to the legitimate site and you’ll never know that there was that intermediate step in between. A lot of this happens and people don’t even know it. The only time they find out is when somebody has bought their credit card number on the black market and all of a sudden they’re seeing purchases at electronic stores or gift cards, which are two of the most favorite ways that cyber criminals monetize stolen identities.”
Mobile Device Management Increasingly Being Used for Protection
“Higher education is especially challenged by cyber criminals because they have by definition very open networks,” Bodden said. “They’re not behind a firewall, so higher education institutions have to have all of their web applications out and accessible in the wild and on the internet. The bad guys know this and so higher education is one of the top industries that is actually targeted by cyber criminals.”
January Webinar to Focus on PeopleSoft HR Systems
The Jan. 14 webinar centers on PeopleSoft human resources systems, which also typically contain sensitive information vulnerable and valuable to hackers.
“Before the human resources systems were mobilized, they could pretty well contain them behind the corporate firewall,” Bodden said. “But now that a lot of these systems have been mobilized so you can access your paycheck, you can change your benefits, you can do a lot of employee self-service and manager self-service from your mobile device, that exposes those systems to the internet and the bad guys know that so they’re going after them.”The third and final webinar on Jan. 21 will be presented alongside Duo and discuss two-factor authentication.
