Threat Intelligence Briefing:
State, Local and Education (SLED)

Zoom | Tuesday, April 27, 2021 | 11:00AM - 12:00PM ET

Most state and local governments and educational institutions and districts depend on a variety of external vendors and partners to support their business activities. These interdependent relationships form a complex third-party ecosystem called the supply chain. Because of its complexity, the supply chain is an attractive target for cybercriminals.

While the security industry has made significant progress thwarting generalized email attack campaigns, more directed impersonation and business email compromise (BEC) attacks are harder to detect and are increasing in virulence. And, given that email impersonating a trusted business partner is more likely to trick the target into taking an unauthorized action, it’s time to shine more light on the supply chain as an abuse vector.

Join Chris Montgomery, Proofpoint Principal Solution Architect, to review 2020 threats and discuss 2021 predictions. We’ll highlight:

  • The evolution of the threat landscape for 2021
  • Threat intelligence trends, with a focus on how they impact SLED organizations
  • Third-party and supply chain risks faced by SLED organizations as they navigate today’s complex threat landscape
  • Top resources and key actions you can take to prepare your organization
