Part 2: Judge Paul Michel Speaks Out on Patents, Congress and the Supreme Court

On a daily basis your network is being attacked. Some you may be aware of others are hidden with in applications. Join Dell SonicWALL Director of Threat Research team to learn the following:
- Analysis of each threat
- Behavior and propagation techniques
- Past and recent telemetry information associated with each threat

We will have time for Q&A so don't miss out.

During this webinar we will provide an overview of some of the concerns and previous limiting factors in securing 10GbE networks, and provide an overview of how Dell | SonicWALL can assist with:

- Delivering IPS and Anti-Malware at 10GbE speeds, supporting your recent infrastructure investments
- Providing a low latency/high throughput security solution protecting your internal network assets
- Creating granular user and group access controls at the application level, reducing the impact of non-productive bandwidth intensive applications

Many organizations have made significant investments recently, transforming their infrastructure to support 10 GbE speeds looking to capitalize on the benefits and efficiencies gained by increased bandwidth without upgrading their existing security appliance, introducing a potential security risk and bottleneck. This webinar will provide you with an overview of this, and discuss how Dell | SonicWALL can assist your team in meeting these requirements.

The Shield Act is “entirely unnecessary”; the America Invents Act was a missed opportunity; and two recent US Supreme Court decisions were “extremely poorly reasoned and very harmful to a well-functioning system”

Judge Michel speaks candidly about some of the frustrations he has experienced since stepping down from the bench in order to be free to engage fully in patent debates. In particular, he describes how he testified before a Congressional subcommittee – and the members seemed not to care that he was (perhaps uniquely) a neutral witness, with no axe to grind.

Now legislators are talking about further changes to the patent system, with specific proposals in the so-called Shield Act. But Michel says the Act proposed “would do vastly more harm than good and is entirely unnecessary”. Interfering with judges in the ways proposed in the Act would be a “threat to justice” says Michel, adding that the problems with the patent system are that it is too slow, too unpredictable, too expensive and too disruptive – and solving them means investing in the USPTO (probably by paying examiners more).

As he says in the video, Michel is at liberty to speak out now he is retired, but I suspect his concerns are widely shared in the judiciary. During the Forum, I moderated a panel that included Michel’s successor as Chief Judge, Randall Rader: when I asked him directly if new legislation (such as the Shield Act) were needed, he said emphatically “No” and argued that parties and judges already have the tools they need to deal with abusive and expensive litigation.

I suspect the response from those who feel they have been victims of patent trolls will be: if district court and appeal judges really can deal with abusive litigation, then they should do so. This might involve acting tougher with vexatious plaintiffs and being more willing to award costs in appropriate cases. Maybe we need to see a bit more judicial activity here?

When migrating to a cloud based solution, it is important to identify the migration steps. Being informed and prepared is the best solution.

Every day, new cyber threats and attack techniques emerge to hammer on your network. The Georgia Tech Research Institute reports that it analyzes 100,000 pieces of new malware daily. With the growth of Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) and hacktivist groups, staying on top of the threat landscape is more challenging than ever.

You’ll learn:
•The fastest growing security attack vectors and data breach sources
•How to respond to emerging security threat trends
•Why threat intelligence is important to IT security in an evolving threat landscape

What does your litigation hold program look like? Is it a well-oiled machine or an Excel spreadsheet and an Outlook inbox? Either way, our panel of corporate and law firm legal professionals has something to share with you. Join us to listen to pointers about maintaining a successful litigation hold program, including insights into how your legal hold program interplays with your preservation requirements and how it can inform your case and e-discovery strategy at the earliest stages of litigation.

While organizations are rapidly embracing Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), many IT executives still find it a complex proposition and are unsure of how to proceed. In reality, the actual BYOD solution may be a simple reapplication of existing technologies or relatively small adjustment but for others, it may require an extensive overhaul.

You'll also hear how Boston Pizza Company implemented their BYOD solution.
