Breaches, Bans, and Backdoors: How to Handle a Breach (and How Not To)

July 23rd @ 1 PM PDT

Every week brings another alarming security headline: a breach, an attack, a government crackdown. Most of them generate more fear than understanding, and that gap is exactly where leaders make bad calls. Cybersecurity Office Hours is a live session where Endsight's Cybersecurity Practice Manager, Stephen Hicks, breaks down the stories that actually matter and tells you what they mean for your business, in plain language and without the fear-mongering.


This quarter centers on a lesson worth internalizing: you can't prevent every breach, especially when it starts with a vendor you rely on. What you can control is how you prepare and respond. Stephen uses Huntress as a model of a third-party breach handled right, then looks at what the Canvas attack, the Anthropic restrictions, and the latest Windows Defender zero-days mean for the way you manage risk.

 

Agenda

  • The Canvas (Instructure) breach. How a ransomware attack exposed student data, from IDs to private messages, and what to do when your information is already out there.
  • The U.S. government vs. Anthropic's AI models. Why restricting the Mythos and Fable models to U.S. citizens is a supply-chain risk story, not just an AI one.
  • The Klue breach and Huntress. How a third-party breach got handled the right way, and what to take from it.
  • The Windows Defender zero-day standoff. One researcher, Microsoft, and a patch race that never quite ends.
  • Resources to go deeper. The articles and advisories worth reading on each story.
  • Live Q&A to close. Bring your security questions and Stephen will take them live.

What You’ll Learn

  • What’s changed in the threat landscape: A breakdown of the most relevant cybersecurity trends and incidents from the past quarter.
  • Why these changes matter: Context around how new threats, vulnerabilities, and attack patterns impact your organization.
  • Where organizations are most at risk: Common gaps across people, process, and technology.
  • How attackers are evolving: Insight into how tactics, tools, and strategies continue to shift.
  • What to focus on next: Practical cybersecurity tips and recommendations based on current trends.
  • How to think about security strategically: Moving beyond reactive fixes toward a more structured approach.
