The temporary shutdown of Colonial Pipeline––a critical pipeline providing nearly half of the gasoline supply for the East Coast of the United States––just over a week ago brought sophisticated ransomware bursting back into the spotlight. Panicked drivers hoarded gasoline as prices skyrocketed, and security teams were pummeled with the question: “What are you doing so this doesn’t happen to us?”

Join Mark Bowling, VP of Security Response at ExtraHop and 20-year veteran of the FBI cybercrimes division, Mike Campfield, and Josh Snow as they discuss:

• Hallmarks of the DarkSide ransomware variant, including both exfiltration and encryption.
• How to detect early indicators of compromise and respond before it gets out of control.
• How industrial control systems and operational technology fit into the security landscape and what President Biden’s announcement means for future attacks.
• How to build a security posture that’s both resistant and resilient to sophisticated ransomware operations and other advanced threats.

Mark will also share lessons learned from his experience in the FBI and as a cybersecurity consultant on the best practices that set organizations apart when it comes to thwarting ransomware.

Speakers:

• Mark Bowling, VP of Security Response
• Josh Snow, Sr. Sales Engineer
• Mike Campfield, VP of International Sales
