Cyber Attacks Take Advantage of Vaccine Distribution and COVID-19
______________________
Cyber criminals are attacking vaccine distribution logistics and supply chains for associated supplies. This comes on top of what started last year - the attacks on PPE supply chains and ransomware attacks on healthcare providers. It was the beginning of those attacks last year that motivated the creation of this webinar series.
Tune in to our discussion on the current attack situation, what is being done in immediate response, and what we are doing to learn from this one to be better prepared for the next.

Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer, GroupSense
As the chief strategy officer and co-founder of GroupSense, Tom has played a vital role in shaping the company’s vision and executing on its growth strategies. Tom led the creation of TraceLight, the GroupSense analysis engine, which serves as the backbone of the company’s cyber-reconnaissance operations. The idea for TraceLight came several years ago when a discovery was made for a large credit card company. Its customers’ card numbers were being bought and sold in the open on the dark web. Tapping his 15 years of experience in cybersecurity with industry giants like NTT, Verizon Wireless and Integralis, Tom developed the first-generation cyber-reconnaissance engine that would become TraceLight, which saved his client tens of millions of dollars each year in fraud costs. Since then, TraceLight has helped GroupSense deliver similar value to Fortune 1000 companies and government organizations across risk areas including data breach detection, ransomware attack mitigation, insider malfeasance, mis/disinformation campaigns, supply chain security and more.

Webinar One
Responding to COVID-19 Changing the Cybersecurity Landscape
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic we have seen a massive increase in cyber-attacks. In this webinar we discuss some of the measures people have taken to help those attacked while disabling some of the attacks. This is being done by companies and also by individual volunteers who have come together to create a taskforce to protect the people and institutions fighting these invisible attackers.
Webinar Three
What We Can Learn to Better Prepare for the Next One
In this week's webinar, we discuss innovative methods we can use to gather a complete data set on these attacks, analysis techniques that might be useful in examining this data set and potential recommendations that will arise as a result of the analysis process, and what data is available now and why it's not enough. We also touch on how you can get involved to help now and what we can do to prepare for the future.
