Government organizations and institutions are constantly targeted by threat actors for reasons such as espionage and exfiltration of intellectual property, targeting users' personal identifiable information (PII), and fraud and financially motivated attacks (ransomware). Attacks start with something we use every day in our personal and professional lives: email. To protect organizations of all sizes, Proofpoint Threat Research investigates billions of emails every day, drawing on intelligence from multiple data sources (network and cloud) to stay at the forefront of the battle on the threat landscape. By leveraging our research in this presentation, you will be able to see the evolution of the threat landscape to include new and updated tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs); emerging actors; how they abuse trusted technology and relationships against users; and how malicious email campaigns can lead to ransomware.

Session Objectives: 

• Gain awareness of the threat landscape and potential impacts on your IT environment and ways to safeguard your systems.
