Truth or Spin in AV Testing?

Jon Friedman, Tech Target Aryeh Goretsky, ESET,Righard Zwienenberg , ESET
Third-party tests can be extremely caluable for evaluating anti-malware products. In-fact, more tests are available than most people realize, covering not only detection rates and scanning speeds, but also factors like number of false positives and ability to block zero-day attacks. But an educated evaluator can both avoid the snares of misleading tests and find a surprising number of useful third party tests.

  • In this session, we look at the issues with testing and audit. This is the base causes of why we fail to secure systems and how we can more effectively create methodologies that actually find flaws. Penetration tests and audit each have major failings, but when done correctly and with the right incentives, they can help make us more secure. When done poorly, we all suffer.

  • Zac Streelman, Manager, Information Technology at Leupold and Stevens was looking for a disaster recovery (DR) solution that would extend the flexibility of virtualization to his DR environment. The solution had to deliver enterprise-class support for his mission critical applications: Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and SharePoint and various CAD programs. The board of directors was specifically asking what the current solution was and what service levels could the infrastructure deliver.
    Zerto Virtual Replication installed seamlessly into their existing infrastructure, did not require any data center updates and is fully integrated into VMware vCenter.

    With Zerto Virtual Replication he was able to:
    - Realize very aggressive service levels – recovery point objectives of seconds and recovery time objectives of minutes
    - Deliver a better ROI with a DR solution that is hardware agnostic
    - Increase team productivity with a very simple solution
    - Quickly cross-train additional staff on DR processes and procedures
    - Optimize flexibility as changes to the environment required changes to the DR strategy
    - Test and validate the DR failover process without taking primary production systems offline

    Join Zac Streelman, Manager, Information Technology at Leupold and Stevens and Jennifer Gill, Director of Product Marketing at Zerto, to hear from your peers and learn about Zerto Virtual Replication.

  • Organizations outsourcing card data to the cloud face significant security risks. As soon as an organization adds other players to the offsite card-management mix, ensuring compliance with the PCI Data Security Standard becomes increasingly challenging. Cloud users and cloud service providers need to understand what their roles and responsibilities are when it comes to protecting this data. Storing, processing and transmitting cardholder data in the cloud brings the cloud environment into scope for PCI-DSS.

    Organizations need to know where their data is at all times. A lot of cloud clients have limited or no control over cardholder data storage. Organizations should be concerned about collecting and correlating access logs and other information from cloud vendors to ensure they are maintaining security compliance. Where's the data being stored? Is it stored in multiple locations? These are all things that you have to take into consideration when you're thinking about outsourcing to a cloud provider. Join this webcast as we address the compliance challanges in the cloud, and gain new insights on:

    - Emerging PCI security risks in the cloud
    - Understand the role of cloud entities
    - Processes for assessing risk when card data could potentially be stored in multiple locations
    - Structuring planning controls to deal with PCI DSS changes
    - Recommendations for achieving PCI compliance across virtual environments
