Webinar - Defend Against Ransomware Attacks Cyber Range Training (SS209)

#1714677: Webinar - Defend Against Ransomware Attacks Cyber Range Training (SS209)

Description:	The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is offering the Defend Against Ransomware Attacks Cyber Range Training event. The 200-level training events are open to government employees and contractors across Federal, State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial government, educational partners, and critical infrastructure partners. Please use your organization email address when registering. Ransomware is the fastest growing malware threat targeting home, business, and government networks. Anyone with a computer connected to the internet is a target. Ransomware infection is one computer, one person, one click away from penetrating a networks defense. If just one computer becomes infected with ransomware it could quickly spread all over the network, which is why ransomware protection is critical. Ransomware incidents have become increasingly prevalent and pose an enormous risk to you and your organization’s critical infrastructure. In this training, participants will be introduced to common applications and process that harden network defenses, as well as key terms to be aware of in the prevention of ransomware attacks. This laboratory-style training is structured as six modules that explore the following aspects: Define ransomware and identify best practices and preventive measures to mitigate the impact of ransomware attacks. Practice in a realistic environment: Analyze network and host-based artifacts and implement remediation changes for the identified vulnerabilities. Learn how to apply specific tools to configure and backup active directory policies, reset KRBTGT account passwords and create application allowlisting policies. Identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in real time: Students will identify malicious domains and mitigate them by establishing a sinkhole and by blocking the malicious domain.  Expert facilitation and peer discussion: Throughout the course, expert cybersecurity engineers will moderate discussions and conduct a recovery debrief for the exercises. Participants are also encouraged to help one another and offer relevant input to address peers' questions. Approved registrants must attend a mandatory student technical check the day before the training to establish a connection to the course content and lab environment.
