The COVID-19 pandemic has forced most organisations to implement digital systems to ensure social distancing and a remote workforce can be supported. One of the most pertinent questions of working in a digital workspace is "How do I sign my documents securely?". There is quite a plethora of solutions available. NETCB has conducted an in depth research into the various solutions as well as how we can integrate e-Signature platforms into our own systems such as our HybridRMS Records Management solution. Join NETCB for this webinar where we will first provide an in depth overview of Electronic and Digital Signatures, share our experiences and research findings on which solutions are the most suitable in our opinion in terms of capability, security standards support, pricing models and level of client support and engagement. We will also explain the validity of e-Signatures in terms of South African Law.

Cyber Resilience has become the most critical aspect within every organisation. It affects every practice within an organisation today, from securing your networks, end-points and applications, managing your users' access and behaviour to cloud applications including monitoring and acting on each and every security related event. You may think that once you have all of these bases covered, you are well protected. You may be wrong. If you have an in-house software development team, or even having organisations developing software for your organisation, you also need to ensure that the way these software developers are writing and testing their code, that it is in fact secure. Quite often security holes may be introduced unknowingly within your software development life cycles. To constantly verify the security within the development of your own applications, even when you are developing for other organisations, it is often a tedious and complex exercise to validate the security of your applications within the software development life cycle. Join NETCB and Micro Focus for this insightful webinar how you can put Security into your DevOps. DevOps is a set of practices that combines software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops). See how this practice will become DevSecOps where application security is built into the tools you use, and how security defects can be detected during the software development life cycle. This webinar is a must for every organisation that participates in any software development process.

Every organisation is required to maintain records, either in physical or digital form, or both. Records, in physical or electronic form, must be maintained for a period from 6 months to 40 years, or indefinitely, depending on the type of record. In South Africa alone we have around 30 laws and regulations that directly compell or reference the keeping of records. Failure to do so may lead to criminal prosecution and hefty fines with prison sentences from ranging from 6 months up to 10 years that have been applied by the courts in the past. Electronic Records Management systems, including the use of Electronic Document Management systems to facilitate the compliance chain is not optional. The use of shared drives and shared storage to store electronic documents is also NOT a valid form of electronic document management and also fails the litmus test for compliance. Quite often you will find that records management is still a predominantly physical paper-based activity of storing documents without a proper cross referencing to electronic records. This is however becoming increasingly costly for organisations to keep and maintain physical records, and the cost barrier to implement electronic records management also have huge financial implications. NETCB has recognised these challenges many of our clients are facing. Over the past few years we have developed a Records Management system, that also provides Document Management capabilities which organisations can implement without breaking the bank, and is also easy to implement. Our solution is compliant to the ISO 16175 Minimum Functional Requirements for Hybrid Records Management. Join us today for a brief introductory webinar where we will share what our HybridRMS solution is all about and how it can assist an organisation in ensuring that compliance is achieved with this complex web of laws and regulations.

As you’ve heard in recent news stories, attackers are evading traditional defense mechanisms, then advancing their attack plan by establishing a beachhead on an internal system and expanding their foothold. Using discovery activities and reconnaissance, these attackers move laterally to find critical Active Directory objects, live hosts, and services to exploit, steal, and reuse credentials to escalate privileges. How can you help your organization prevent and detect identity privilege escalations and lateral movement? In this insightful webinar you will learn: · How to gain visibility to key attacker escalation techniques · Methods to slow attackers down, including data concealment, misdirection, and decoys · About the Attivo Networks ThreatDefend® platform and how it addresses these needs by preventing and detecting lateral movement and privilege escalation across endpoints, Active Directory, and cloud infrastructure.

Considering today’s rapidly changing technology landscape and new devices that have emerged in the workplace, keeping your IT-systems well aligned with your business strategy and goals can be very challenging. Not to mention the ever-increasing expectations from end-users, the challenges that shadow IT brings, consumerisation of IT within organisations over the past few years and Remote Work that has become the new normal. Liquit develops software for the delivery of and access to all applications and services in an organisation through the ultimate modern workplace. Ever since its founding, Liquit’s goal has been to help organisations reduce the ever-increasing complexity around supporting and managing the end user experience. This webinar is meant to provide you with insight on how Liquit can help your organisation create the ULTIMATE END USER EXPERIENCE, without causing any user disruption.

One of the major challenges facing organisations that have mission critical applications running on hosts such as Mainframes, Unix systems and similar "so called" legacy systems, is how to modernise access to these systems. Yet 80% of the world's corporate data resides or originates on mainframes. These systems are not going anywhere soon, and new mechanisms are needed to modernise these systems without the need to make any changes to the applications running on these mission critical hosts. Most of the time terminal emulation software is required, direct access to these hosts on special ports, such as 3270 for mainframe access, and this makes it virtually impossible to provide this type of access securely to a workforce that needs to work remotely. The risks involved with VPN access to these mission critical systems with limited security configuration abilities just cannot justify such access.

Every organisation has IT systems with system accounts that require privilege access by those system administrators that need to administrate these systems. The question is how do you secure access to these "special" accounts to ensure that only those with access to these accounts can access them, including knowing when they have used this special privilege. Typical questions you should be asking: How do I discover all privileged accounts across my enterprise? How do I know what vendors are doing in my network? How do I integrate privilege controls with change management workflows? How do I secure all privileged credentials in my network? How do I pass my compliance audits? Most privileged access management solutions just focus on passwords. BeyondTrust is different. Their innovative Universal Privilege Management approach to cyber security secures every user, asset, and session across your enterprise. Deployed as SaaS or on-premises, BeyondTrust's Universal Privilege Management approach simplifies deployments, reduces costs, improves usability, and reduces privilege risks.

As this "turbulent" year 2020 is drawing to a close, it is a good time to take stock of your Data Protection. In recent months we have seen a drastic increase in cyber attacks and other disasters, causing organisations to lose data and months of productivity, despite having backup systems in place. It was clear that the traditional approach to backup schedules, processes and systems were not sufficient to recover completely after disaster has struck. In this webinar, learn how SEP sesam is regarded as the top Backup and Disaster recovery system. Once again SEP AG was awarded by the analyst and research company Techconsult as champion in the PUR-S 2021 study for its Backup & Recovery services. This year the highest level as "Leader" has been reached. The study is based on end user surveys using a representative panel in companies of all sizes and industries. Backup is a topic often being avoided when talking about migration to the cloud, or about the protection of your data in the cloud. When you read the small print on your agreement with your cloud provider, you may find that you are still responsible for your own data, depending on the type of contract you have, but most entry to mid-level subscriptions tend to keep you responsible for just that. You may also find yourself running out of capacity in keeping your existing backups in place. Learn how SEP can use cloud storage as an extension of your existing infrastructure to move your backups off-site.

Let us help you with managing your passwords. If you’re using many different passwords or if you need to share them with your colleagues, safe boxes are the right tool for you. Your IT administrator might use the same master password for every computer within your company. The possibility of compromising this password poses a major security risk. Secure workstation generates a different password for every single day and every computer. How can you keep those system passwords securely stored? Do not for a moment think that using a password protected spreadsheet is secure! That is the first thing intruders look for when you have been breached.

As organisations make the move to the cloud, Security around Workforce and Customer Identity must evolve with the same level of sophistication. In this webinar, you’ll discover how moving to a Zero Trust approach actually creates freedom for everyone in the workforce, as well as improving the omni-channel customer experience. In particular, we will focus on: - Why you should assume everything is untrusted until proven otherwise - The full Zero Trust reference architecture and steps to get there - Why Identity is the foundational layer to build contextual access controls from

Active Directory is seasoned and well known. Unfortunately, the security set at install 15 years ago has not been checked or fixed. However, the attackers are using these attack pathways to move laterally and gain privileged access in AD. In order to fix these misconfigurations, today and tomorrow, a different tactic is required! The fact is that misconfigurations and privileged attacks can bypass your event logs, SIEM, and AD monitoring solution. Alsid in partnership with NETCB and Collective Synergy present this agenda: •Why Active Directory is so easy to attack • What attackers are leveraging during attacks • Why SIEM and AD Monitoring solutions fail to stop attacks Meet Derek, Microsoft MVP Let 16-time Microsoft MVP, Derek Melber, show you how to detect hidden misconfigurations, attacks, and even do threat hunting. Don’t miss this opportunity to secure your most essential identity and access control: AD.
