The coronavirus pandemic changed how people around the world work and receive skills training. Virtual meeting services saw incredible growth, they also faced new security challenges. As a key Global Knowledge partner, we worked closely with Gary and the Zoom team as they rapidly upgraded their platform to ensure the maximum possible level of safety for all users. However, technology is only as powerful, or safe as the people who use it. So, in this webinar Gary will provide expert (and entertaining!) advice on how to use virtual meetings safely when there is not a Global Knowledge instructor on-hand to help. Joining Gary is Kevin, our CXO: another big personality with a wealth of IT experience and a passion for ensuring our customers receive the best possible experience, every time they connect with Global Knowledge.

She'll discuss risk analysis and risk management techniques and explain the importance and process of creating a business continuity plan. Using a fictional company as an example, Debbie will walk you through the disaster planning process a security professional should use, and she will provide simple tricks to reduce your company's downtime before, during, and after a disaster.

Cloud computing enables development teams to get applications into production faster. IT Service Management (ITSM) leaders must adopt new strategies and change existing processes or risk becoming a barrier to success. Cloud computing requires DevOps-the blending of development and operations with the goal of accelerating time-to-market and reducing time-to-value. The good news is that ITIL® is uniquely positioned to accelerate DevOps, but it requires changes to existing ITSM processes.

The world of Incident Response is evolving. No longer do we focus on indicators of compromise; we now focus on attacker behavior. MITRE has turned attacker behaviors into a usable framework shared both on their website and on GitHub. MITRE provides the MITRE ATT&CK Navigator on GitHub which includes a complete mapping of all techniques and sub-techniques to help you understand the attacker’s behavior. The Navigator can be leveraged to optimize Incident Response, evolving your team from responsive to predictive response.
