MEDIA ALERT: Tempered to Host Webinar, 'Sandworm! A Fireside Chat About Russian Hackers and Cyberwarfare,' Featuring Author Andy Greenberg

SEATTLE, Aug. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- WHAT: Tempered, a leading secure networking provider, will be joined by author and WIRED journalist Andy Greenberg for a fireside chat on cyberwarfare, critical infrastructure attacks and the famed Sandworm and NotPetya threats, as well as how to defend against them.

WHEN: Thursday, Sept. 3, 2020, 1 p.m. ET

WHY ATTEND: In 2014, the world witnessed the start of a mysterious series of cyberattacks. Targeting American utility companies, NATO, and electrical grids in Eastern Europe, the strikes grew ever-more brazen, including the first-ever blackouts triggered by hackers. The hackers behind these attacks quickly gained a reputation as the most dangerous team of cyberwarriors in history.

With cybercrime quadrupling since the start of COVID-19 and nation-state attacks on vaccine research, power grids and even water systems on the rise, there is no better time to heed the lessons learned from the major attacks that have defined the last decade in cybersecurity.

Greenberg authored the investigative book Sandworm: A New Era of Cyberwar and the Hunt for the Kremlin's Most Dangerous Hackers and is a senior writer for WIRED, covering security, privacy and information freedom.

Through his discussion with Rick Moy, vice president at Tempered, the audience will learn:

• The technical details and stories behind the world's most sophisticated cyberattacks
• The societal impact of widespread nation-state cybercrime and cyberwarfare
• Key takeaways to help their organization prepare
