Join Zack Barton and Jake Blacksten as they discuss how to create an efficient cybersecurity emergency response plan. During this webinar, they will note details such as who to contact, and in what order, and provide a checklist of important steps to take in response to a cybersecurity attack.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is proud to offer the Incident Response Training event, Preventing DNS Infrastructure Tampering Cyber Range Training (IR206) on Tuesday, August 13, 2024. The 200-level training events are open to government employees and contractors across federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial government, educational partners, and critical infrastructure partners. Please use your organization email address when registering. 

 This course is ideal for those working in cybersecurity roles who are interested in learning technical incident response skills and requires active engagement from all participants. The course assumes a mixed audience (e.g., from disparate teams and organizations) of mixed capability. 

 DNS is one of the core foundations of the internet however, it continues to be one of the mechanisms attackers use to perform malicious activities across the globe. In this course participants will learn about various concepts associated with DNS, become familiar with DNS tools and mapping information, get introduced to common DNS tampering techniques, and gain an understanding of DNS mitigation strategies to enhance security. 

 Experience these benefits and more: 

• Practice in a realistic environment: Analyze network and host-based artifacts and implement remediation changes for the identified vulnerabilities.  
• Learn how to implement remediations: Course exercises include remediating vulnerabilities. 
• Identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in real time: Students will identify DNS infrastructure tampering techniques and mitigate them. 
• Expert facilitation and peer discussion: Throughout the course, expert cybersecurity engineers will moderate discussion and conduct a recovery debrief for the exercises. Participants are also encouraged to help one another and offer relevant input to address peers' questions.

This exercise is a step-by-step, facilitated experience that uses a keyboard approach to understand these topics in a realistic technical environment. 

Approved registrants must attend a mandatory student technical check the day before the training to establish a connection to the course content and lab environment.

Cyber attacks are a serious risk for any business. This webinar will increase your awareness of cyber risks involved with owning and operating a small business; and we will recommend actions that should be taken to mitigate those risks. (Duration 1 hour)

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is proud to present the Instrumenting the Environment to Detect Suspicious and Malicious Activity (IR214).

Attackers are becoming more sophisticated – and efficient. The time it takes an attacker to begin moving laterally once they have a foothold in the network is 79 minutes, compared to 9 hours in 2019. Security teams require exceptional network visibility to keep pace with top-level threat actors as these breakout times shrink. Triage training and tools can help incident response teams reduce the time an attacker dwells undetected within a network, mitigating attacks before threat actors can accomplish their missions.

This 4-hour skills development cyber range training provides best practices for organizations to strengthen their detection and initial response capabilities for more effective triaging. Through case studies, presentations by expert facilitators, demonstrations, and lab exercises participants will explore the tools and techniques necessary to identify suspicious and malicious activity in an enterprise environment.
