Yesterday, we shared our most popular blogs for 2017. Today, we are sharing a ranked list of our most popular webinars (you can now watch them all on-demand).
BeyondTrust hosts a robust cybersecurity webinar program, with 2017 featuring 75 webinars watched by tens of thousands of IT, security, and compliance professionals. Our expert guest speakers each bring unique experiences and areas of expertise, which provides fertile ground for helping cybersecurity professionals better understand increasingly complex and fast-moving security and compliance challenges. Many of our live webinars provide the added benefit of qualifying as CPE credit.
As we compiled the list, a few salient themes stood out. For 2017, the most popular topics could be roughly grouped around:
- 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)
We are already building out a webinar schedule of compelling cybersecurity topics featuring a mix of our best independent thought leaders from 2017 and the addition of some new faces for the New Year, but there’s still time to level-up your cybersecurity chops for 2018.
