Advanced Botnet Research and How to Improve Cybersecurity Communication Through Marketing
______________________
Join us to discuss advanced botnets from an active researcher in the field. Networks of attack bots that spread through automated attacks can cause widespread disruption and be used in a wide variety of different types of threats.
In order to help device manufacturers, users, and companies avoid attacks like botnets, it is important to bring cybersecurity information to a wider audience. We will also discuss how marketing techniques can be used to guide the distribution of cybersecurity information and help get the correct information to the right people.

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.
