The Do's and Don'ts of Device Control Beyond USB Storage

Modern Device Control needs to support multiple data transfer channels, adapt to emerging business and compliance requirements, and provide detailed, context-aware protections without compromising productivity. Today, data leaves organizations not only through USB sticks, but also through wireless methods such as Bluetooth, local and network printers, peer-to-peer sharing tools like AirDrop, mobile devices, and specialized ports, such as FireWire. Managing these risks is further compounded by mixed OS environments that include Windows, macOS, and Linux. During this webinar on September 3, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern/10:00 a.m. Pacific, attendees will learn how to overcome challenges related to: - Device Control: Data loss via USB, Bluetooth, printers, mobile devices, and more - Ransomware Protection: Blocking unauthorized devices completely and eliminating risk at the hardware level - Enforcing Encryption: Encrypting files and devices to accommodate authorized data transfers while controlling access to decryption keys - DLP for Mixed OS Environments: Overcoming the unique device control and DLP challenges associated with environments that include Windows, macOS and Linux.

Navigating Malware-Free Attacks

We started with a simple question: what do modern attackers do? After analyzing over 700,000 security incidents, one technique was almost universally present: a staggering 84% of major attacks incorporated Living Off The Land (LOTL) tactics, using the same native tools and utilities your administrators use every day. If the tools are the same, how do you tell an attacker from a user? To find out, we turned our focus to legitimate usage data. By comparing this legitimate activity side-by-side with the malicious activity, we found quite a lot of interesting patterns. Join the Bitdefender team and ISC2 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern/10:00 a.m. Pacific on September 16, 2025 to get actionable insights from real-world attacks to better detect threats hiding in plain sight.

Darwinian Offense: Generative Curricula for Autonomous Red Teaming- a Security Congress Encore

This session takes a deep dive into the methodology behind recently published research designed to overcome this limitation through adversarial self-learning. Following up on her popular Security Congress 2025 keynote, researcher Alissa Knight will dissect a novel architecture where an AI teaches itself to hack not by studying past attacks, but by engaging in a continuous, high-stakes war game against itself. Attendees will learn the mechanics of this "survival of the fittest" loop, where two competing agents—one constructing defensive puzzles and the other evolving breaking strategies—force the emergence of increasingly sophisticated API attacks without human intervention.

2026 Supply Chain Attacks: Axios NPM and TeamPCP Compromises

In early 2026, we witnessed an escalation in software supply chain attacks. Threat actors are increasingly targeting widely used open-source tools and repositories to maximize their downstream impact. Notably, the North Korean threat actor UNC1069 compromised the widely used Axios NPM package, introducing a malicious dependency into a platform that sees over 100 million weekly downloads. Simultaneously, the threat group TeamPCP orchestrated a cascading supply chain compromise targeting CI/CD pipelines via popular tools like the Trivy vulnerability scanner, Checkmarx GitHub Actions and the LiteLLM PyPI package. These compromised pipelines were weaponized to harvest cloud credentials for later data theft and extortion, and to pave the way for potential ransomware deployment. On April 16, 2026 at 1:00 pm Eastern/10:00 a.m. Pacific, sponsor Google and host ISC2 will provide a look at the rapid evolution, impact and response to these dual supply chain campaigns. This session will cover: -An overview of the North Korea-nexus UNC1069 campaign targeting Axios NPM releases, detailing how the plain-crypto-js malicious dependency was used to deploy the WAVESHAPER.V2 backdoor across Windows, macOS and Linux environments. -The tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) of TeamPCP, including their deployment of the SANDCLOCK credential stealer via poisoned GitHub Actions to extract cloud credentials, local environment variables and cryptocurrency wallets. -How TeamPCP and collaborating actors stole highly privileged cloud tokens to facilitate data extortion and planned deployments of VECTORLOCK ransomware. -Actionable guidance and rapid response strategies alongside critical remediation steps like dependency pinning, auditing lockfiles and rotating exposed secrets.
