SUMMARY:ACENET: Basics of Computers
DESCRIPTION:This session will help you learn not only how your computer works\, but how to use it faster\, smarter\, and more effectively. \nMost of us have experience using a computer\, whether for school\, work\, or entertainment\, but how many of us have actually had an expert teach us how to use it? This talk won’t teach you how to troubleshoot everything\, but will give you insight to how media\, programs and data are encoded and used by computers\, so you can make more sense of why computers behave the ways they do\, and solve some of your problems with greater efficiency and less frustration. They will provide an approachable overview of how a computer works\, by both looking at their history and breaking one down to explain individual components\, before highlighting some of the trade-offs to consider when buying a computer. They will provide practical\, simple\, and actionable advice on digital security and show you a few “pro tips” on how to make the most of your workstation\, phone\, or whatever device you happen to use. Whether you have a lot or a little experience using your digital technology\, if you want to learn how to use your devices more effectively\, this workshop is for you! \nThis session will be delivered online. \nParticipants must register using their institutional / organizational email address (not a personal email\, ie. gmail). \nConnections details for the session will be sent out prior to the session. \nFor more ACENET events\, click here.

SUMMARY:Adventures in the Underland: Uncommon Hacker's Persistency Methods and Countermeasures
DESCRIPTION:Persistence is one of the main aspects that hackers pay special attention to during the malware development and attack phase. The goal is very simple: to be as stealthy as possible. Usually\, attackers aim to maintain the presence in the target’s network by installing malware on various workstations and servers. \nHowever\, the main challenge for them is that the malicious code needs to be available also after reboot\, so the best solution would be to put it in a place that is not discovered by most of the monitoring tools. Sneaky\, right? And when this persistency remains\, the problems begin\, and ransomware comes to action. \nSince there are so many places on Windows to stay hidden even from well-known monitoring tools\, it would be great to become familiar with at least some of them\, especially the uncommon ones! \nDuring this session\, Paula Januszkiewicz\, CEO and Founder of CQURE\, Microsoft MVP and RD\, Cybersecurity expert demonstrates several less common persistence methods we all should be aware of! All the scenarios which will be shown are taken from real life\, so don’t miss it and leave with suggestions & ideas how to attain the next level of security in your workspaces.

SUMMARY:Removing Endpoint Admin Rights from Technical Users: Stopping the Attack While Enabling the User
DESCRIPTION:It’s common knowledge that removing local admin rights is one of the most straightforward ways to protect an organization from cyberthreats. Without elevated privileges\, threat actors can’t easily (if at all) identify admin accounts that can be used to move laterally and further an attack. In essence\, without local admin rights\, the endpoint is the end of the line for an attacker. \nIt’s easy to remove local admin rights for end users that are in Marketing or Sales. But once you start trying to remove rights from technical users like development or QA that require more rights than just a local user\, it becomes extremely difficult. It’s one of the reasons threat actors target these kinds of users in spear phishing attacks and job-themed social engineering attacks – the assumption is that the victim already has admin rights on the endpoint. \nSo\, how can you remove local admin from even the most technical user and still keep them working? \nIn this Real Training for Free session\, 4-time Microsoft MVP\, Nick Cavalancia takes my seat and first will cover: \n\nWhy local admin rights are a critical point in a cyberattack\nWhat MITRE ATT&CK TTPs rely on having local admin rights\n\nUp next\, you’ll hear from Paul Davies\, Senior Solutions Architect at BeyondTrust. Paul will begin by reviewing the threat landscape and recent breaches that have involved theft of credentials from users with privileged access (including attacks against Okta\, Medibank\, LAUSD\, DoorDash\, Twilio\, Uber\, and more). \nPaul will then share a sneak preview of BeyondTrust’s 2022 Microsoft Vulnerabilities report\, sharing some of the key vulnerabilities observed in 2022. He will then share the key technical principles to keep in mind when removing local admin rights from highly technical\, niche users within an organization\, who are often targeted by these types of attacks\, while still enabling those users to do the work needed to do their jobs. \nNext\, Paul will illustrate those technical principles further in a demo of BeyondTrust’s Endpoint Privilege Management solution. He will go deep to show how BeyondTrust EPM makes it possible for organizations to remove local admin rights from technical users\, how it can protect against the types of attacks mentioned earlier\, and what added layers of security BeyondTrust adds. \nThis Real Training for Free session will be full of practical real-world technical details.

SUMMARY:A More Sustainable Future: Achieving Net Zero Together
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is the single greatest challenge of our time. With Canada’s climate warming twice as fast as the global average\, catastrophic events such as heat waves\, wildfires and floods are costing billions and putting communities and people at risk. \nThe steps needed to reduce climate risk require transition and adaptation plans which are already well underway. To avert the worst impacts of climate change\, the Government of Canada has set an ambitious climate target of 40-45% emissions reductions by 2030 and is committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. \nPublic sector organizations in Canada and around the world are responding to sustainability challenges with digital and data solutions\, AI\, hybrid cloud\, and ecosystem partnerships. But it’s not just about the data or the technology. It’s about being a catalyst for change\, making the world better one community at a time. \nJoin them as their sponsor IBM together with senior stakeholders from the federal government discuss what it will take to achieve net zero and how together we can make that happen (e.g. sustainable procurement; Canada’s Net Zero Challenge).
