If you are like most small businesses you have probably experienced issues with anti-malware software in the past. Do any of the issues below ring true when thinking about your current antivirus solution?

• When it performs scans it slows our systems to a crawl

• It creates too many alerts on files that aren’t malicious

• It is hard to manage across all our platforms and devices

• Our users want to turn it off because it is so annoying

If so, join Peter Streips, Network Security Group (ESET’s Gold Partner) President and ESET researchers for a panel discussion and learn why it’s time to change your antivirus solution.

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.

The Internet is a force multiplier, allowing businesses of all sizes to reach more customers, better service those customers and ultimately be more competitive. By utilizing the Internet, many small and medium businesses can be much more successful. However technological advances cut both ways.
While improved connectivity, communication, and Web presence provide benefits to small and medium businesses (SMBs), it can also resulted in an increase of Internet based security threats and expose the business to criminal elements that they wouldn't normally encounter. If customers can find you so can cybercriminals. The most damaging cyber attack against small and medium businesses is when cybercriminals implant malware on a company's computers, and use that malware to gain access to the company's bank accounts via online-banking.
This webcast is designed to bring the growing cyberthreats and protection strategies to the attention of executives and employees of small and medium enterprises. In this webcast, IDC's analyst, using survey data, recent threat data, and insight, will provide the following information:
* Highlight threats and successful attacks directed towards SMBs
* Identify the special needs for SMB cybersecurity
* Explain companies' existing attitudes around cybersecurity
* Discuss the key security technologies SMBs should consider
* Highlight what features and support companies should look for from their security vendors

Join Stephen Cobb, Security Evangelist at ESET to discover how:
- Vunerable SMB's like yours really are
- You can establish a cyber security policy for your organization
- You can defend your company-and it's employees partners and customers against online attacks
Many small and medium-size businesses (SMB) operate under the mistaken impression that their size, or the minimal security steps that they have already taken, will protect them from cyber attacks.

Targeting of corporate and consumer data and devices by criminals and rogue states is well-funded and likely to persist for some time. Hardened operating systems, firewalls, IDS, and secure application coding are leading attackers to target endpoints, defined as people with devices, not devices alone. Analyzing large amounts of endpoint data we map current and emerging threats, both digital and analog, to provide a set of best practices for defeating attackers.

How can IT security adapt to fight constantly mutating cyber threats?

As the adversarial relationship between information security professionals and malicious cyberactors intensifies, the security gap between new attack methods and traditional controls will grow in favor of the attackers.

Cyberattacks have become multidimensional in their complexity and sophistication.

Join Forrester Analyst, Chenxi Wang, Ph.D. to:
- Look at the new threats that corporate IT will face in 2012
- Discuss the role of IT in the face of such threats
- Review effective investment and risk management strategies to get ahead of the cyberattacks
- Explore strategies to invest in preventative technologies, not just on reactive controls

More specifically, we will dive into strategies to build a solid layered defense, not just patch-work products. For example, going from firewalls and IDS to log management, building DLP capabilities in your network, and investing in strong host-based controls would help you raise the bar significantly and give you advanced capabilities to identify malicious behaviors before they wreak havoc.

Panel Discussion Points with Forrester and ESET's Research team:
- What sort of new threats (or increase of existing threats) can be expected in 2012?
- What role does the commoditization of IT have, if any, in those threats?
- What role does the social media have, if any, in those threats?
- What can IT departments do to reduce their threat surface profile?

Followed by Q&A session

With the deluge of new mobile smartphones like Android, iPhone, and others hitting the streets, there are thousands of new attack vectors against a company's IT infrastructure that create potential security nightmares. When users download apps by the droves and then want to connect to core critical infrastructure, how should IT handle it? While there is a drive for increased off-hours and/or offsite productivity using mobiles, can we stomach the changes that are coming, and can our organizations remain (or become) secure?

Before you choose an antivirus solution it is important to understand how it goes about detecting malware in the first place.
