Why You Need to Attend our Cybersecurity Webinars in 2020
BeyondTrust hosts a robust cybersecurity webinar program, which has been recognized as one of the top free resources for cybersecurity knowledge. In 2019, we hosted over 100 webinars attended by over 10,000 IT, security, and compliance professionals. Our dozens of expert guest speakers each contributed unique experiences and areas of expertise; teaching cybersecurity professionals across the world how to better protect their organizations and improve compliance amidst a backdrop of increasing IT complexity and cyber threat sophistication. Many BeyondTrust-hosted webinars provide the added benefit of qualifying as CPE accreditation with (ISC)2 and ISACA.
Today, we are sharing a ranked list of our 20 most popular webinars from 2019. You can now watch them all on-demand. In 2017, when we performed a similar ranking exercise, these were our most popular webinar themes:
- How to think like a hacker/counter-maneuver an attack
- Techniques for monitoring attacks and cyber threat hunting
- How to use privileged access management (PAM) and privileged password management (PPM) to condense the attack surface and enforce least privilege
- How to defend against specific, newsworthy exploits (Petya, Equifax)
- Ways to improve vulnerability management (VM)
Over the past two years, the technology landscape has seemed to evolve by leaps and bounds. In that timeframe, the breadth and depth of BeyondTrust solutions has certainly seen tremendous growth and evolution too. Yet, the most popular webinar topics from 2019 were roughly similar to the 2017 list, albeit with the additions of AD security and remote access security. These were the most popular themes for 2019:
- Cyberattack and defense (essentially how to think like a hacker/counter attacks, but with more emphasis on capture the flag (CTF) scenarios)
- Strategies and technologies to bolster active directory security
- How to secure privileged credentials
- How to effectively perform IT administration in a least privilege model
- How to secure vendor and remote worker access
On the cusp of 2020, we are already well on our way to building out a webinar schedule of compelling cybersecurity topics (we welcome you to submit your topic ideas here) featuring some of the industry’s foremost independent thought leaders.
