Website Threats: It’s Not All About the Hacker Anymore

Mike Smart, Senior Manager, Products and Solutions, Symantec
Website Security Series Part 3

The external threat landscape is evolving; web-based malware and legitimate website hacking is continuing to fluctuate as we learn and adapt our network defence strategies, or externalise our infrastructure to mitigate risk. However, do these initiatives around protection extend to our customers? 
Every organisation has a web presence and increasingly this presence is not just for broadcasting corporate brands and products; it is used to collect and socialise personal information from customers and constituents and process regulated financial transactions.

In this session Symantec will discuss:
- Top threats that target customer identities
- How the Trust model of SSL has survived the last 18 months
- Why the Internet’s top brands are moving to Always-On SSL
- Why not all SSL certificate infrastructures are created equal and how this can influence business growth
- How to manage an expanding cryptography infrastructure effectively

Mike Smart is the Senior Manager of International Product and Solutions at Symantec.
In his role, Mike is responsible for driving Symantec’s Trust Services business across International and emerging markets. He joined Symantec in 2012 from SafeNet where he was Director of Products and Solutions in EMEA.
Mike has a strong history in the SMB and Enterprise IT Security arena and has been at the forefront of introducing new technologies and solutions to the market in areas such as Cloud Security Solutions, Information Leakage Detection and Prevention and Unified Threat Management. Mike is an active member of the UK’s Get Safe Online not-for-profit organisation which provides a leading source of unbiased, authoritative information on protection against fraud, identity theft, viruses and many other problems encountered online.

  • More and more organizations are exploring the ramifications of Big Data on their enterprises. Deployments of Smart Meters to better manage the electric grid, Industrial Control Systems (ICS) across a variety of sectors, and the promise of always on and always connected systems are pushing organizations to gather more data than previously imagined. What are the implications from a privacy and intellectual property perspective and how can we as security professionals provide a level of control and risk management over the coming wave of The Internet of Things? Join (ISC)2 and Capella University on May 23, 2013 at 1:00pm Eastern for a discussion on these important concerns.

  • The explosion of social media in recent years means that there are millions of users or ‘fans’ to reach and add to your customer base. While there are clear benefits to end-users and the organizations that accept their social identities for account creation and authentication, there are important risk factors that have to be considered as well.

    Please join CA and ISACA for this webinar, where we will review the pros and cons of social media login and Bring Your Own Identity (BYOI), and provide guidance and best practices based on real use cases to help guide organizations to a model that meets their risk profile.

  • BYOD is inevitable and unstoppable. Maybe even uncontrollable and unmanageable. But is it the real issue? We seem to be very interested in mobile device management and security risks and data breaches, as, of course, we should be. But, isn’t the real issue the fact that traditional IT is fast becoming irrelevant. Nearly all of us use our personal devices for work and have multiple personal clouds full of data – personal and business. Today’s users believe that they need traditional IT less than before. Crowdsourcing is replacing the Service Desk while Web self-service is replacing live people. But, there’s more to running IT than mobile device buzz words and doom & gloom blogs and tweets. Check out this webinar with CA Technologies & Pink Elephant to find out what’s really happening and what IT can do to embrace this new world. 1 PriSM CPD.

  • By 2014, 60% of global companies are expected to pilot, deploy or expand their BYOD programs (RainKing). As BYOD has become a fixture in the workplace, with 72% of employees clamoring to have their personal devices work-enabled, the IT industry has watched as the familiar “perimeter" model has become untenable. Data is going to more places, and ending up on a wider variety of devices, than ever before. A new model for protecting data has become a necessity. Organizations have tried to do so in a multitude of ways: extending policies to cover mobile devices, monitoring usage, MDM solutions, and even NAC; all have been methods used to try and create the most stable environment for mobile technology. Let Integralis security expert Mike Gabriel explain how to best balance mobile productivity and security in this Security Talks installment.

    Why Attend?

    1.Discover how your peers are trying to protect mobile data.
    2.See how the perimeter is being sculpted (or not) by the IT industry.
    3.Find out what the future holds for BYOD in the workplace.

  • Over the years true MSPs have had to work diligently to differentiate themselves from companies that are at best, not true MSPs and at worst, are shady fly-by-night operators. This is where the Unified Certification Standard or (UCS) for Cloud & Managed Service Providers comes in.

    The UCS was created by a team of dedicated MSPs to address the shortfalls of existing standards like ISO 27001, ITIL, CoBIT, SSAE 16, which were never intended for managed services organizations and offered little in the way of consumer protection.

    CASE IN POINT: Many MSPs do NOT fail because of technical deficiencies, but due to financial risk. Because of this, customers have very little insight into the service provider's business practices and financial strengths and capabilities.

    Attend this webcast and you will hear from real MSP executives on how the UCS certification and audit has helped them to:

    - Win new business
    - Provide needed transparency to customers
    - Achieve compliance objectives
    - Quickly develop trust with customers and prospects
    - Provide documentation on how those MSPs deliver their services
    - And much more...

    Both Cloud and Managed Service Providers should attend this webcast and at least begin to follow the standards necessary to achieve managed services and cloud computing excellence.

  • Is your Data Secure from Prying Eyes? Recorded: Dec 5 2012 43 mins
    Synopsis:
    Trust is a fundamental currency on the web. In a virtual world, where you never know for sure who is controlling the website you are viewing or consuming the information you are sharing, meaningful interaction is impossible without high levels of trust. Increasingly, as cybercriminals have become more sophisticated in setting up spoof phishing sites to fool users into handing over personal details and passwords, sites need more than standard certificates to engender trust. Andrew will discuss different threats and how businesses and consumers can protect themselves in an ever changing online world.

    Andrew Horbury is Product Marketing Manager for Symantec's Website Security Solutions in Europe. Andrew joined VeriSign in 2002 which was acquired by Symantec in 2010.

  • Reducing Risks Through Effective Certificate Management Recorded: Jun 20 2012 43 mins
    During this panel discussion Mike Smart and Dave Corbett will discuss the impact of an unmanaged certificate infrastructure. In a world where Encryption is mandated as the primary mechanism to protect information flowing around our organizations and to our customers, the effective management of the infrastructure behind this is critical.
