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.

Si l’activité fourmillante des cybercriminels ne vous laisse aucun répit, leur arrivée sur la scène mobile fait encore monter le risque d’un cran. Avec la démocratisation croissante de l’informatique mobile, les malfaiteurs ne reculent plus devant aucun moyen pour parvenir à leurs fins. L’an passé, les violations de terminaux mobiles ont bondi de 93 %, les attaques par malwares mobiles de 155 % et les virus mobiles d’exfiltration de données de 28 %. Dès lors, la protection de votre marque et des informations sensibles de vos clients passe par l’installation de certificats SSL.

Bedrohungen durften noch nie auf die leichte Schulter genommen werden, aber jetzt sind sie endgültig im Mobilfunkzeitalter angekommen. Da die mobile Datenverarbeitung in zunehmendem Umfang allgemein genutzt wird, stellen sich Malware-Autoren hierauf immer systematischer und dreister ein. Im letzten Jahr haben die Schwachstellen im Mobilfunkbereich um 93 % zugenommen. Die auf Mobilgeräte ausgerichtete Malware verzeichnete sogar ein Wachstum von 155 %, 28 % der für Mobilgeräte bestimmten Malware wurden für den Datendiebstahl entwickelt. Daher benötigt Ihre Website zum Schutz der vertraulichen Daten Ihrer Kunden und Ihrer Online-Reputation eine Sicherheitsstrategie mit SSL.

The threat landscape has never stood still, but now it has gone truly mobile. With mobile computing rapidly gaining ubiquity, authors have become more strategic and bolder in their efforts to mobilise their malware. With last year seeing mobile vulnerabilities increase by 93%, malware targeting mobile devices increase by 155%, and 28% of mobile malware designed to steal data, protecting your customers’ sensitive information and online brand requires a secure website strategy including SSL.

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.

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. Consequences of bad management practices can include business interruption, loss of revenues not to mention the damage to the brand. To compound the issue, regulators and internal auditors are looking for the business to demonstrate control and visibility in all areas of Information risk management and the certificate infrastructure is no exception.
During this panel the speakers will poll the audience on issues around their certificate infrastructure this session will end with recommendations around best practices for effective certificate management.
