  • There are always new threats in Social Media out there. What are the newest social media platforms and threats associated with them?
  • Spear-phishing, watering hole attacks, drive-by downloads…these are our new realities. The user is the primary target of attack and the endpoint is our new perimeter.

    McAfee recently announced the introduction of a revolutionary new set of security controls – The Complete Endpoint Protection Suites (Enterprise & Business) – including Deep Defender, a next generation anti-rootkit technology – to link security from chip to OS to applications to provide real-time monitoring of memory and CPU. McAfee also leads innovation through technology partnerships such as the one it enjoys with Invincea – a pioneer in the use of secure virtual containers to protect the most highly targeted applications (web browsers, PDF readers, Office suite).

    When married together, these technologies provide one of the most secure endpoint environments ever seen…and you’ve got to see what this is all about.

  • Virtualization, cloud computing, hybrid environments and BYOD are here to stay. When implemented successfully, these solutions can transform the way businesses operate and lower the OPEX and CAPEX costs of IT departments. However, these major IT trends cannot be considered separately: virtualization and cloud are often linked, and needs for anytime anywhere connectivity and mobile workforce enablement won't wait. This is why it's essential to have a holistic approach and address the business, technology and financial implications of today for tomorrow's needs.

  • The Lazy Attacker: Defending Against Broad-based Cyber Attacks with Unified & Collaborative Defenses

    Advanced Persistent Attacks (APTs) get most of the attention from the cyber security community because, as defenders, we want to be vigilant against the most insidious techniques. However, this unilateral mindset ignores a much less interesting reality. Generally, cyber criminals are as lazy as criminals in the “real world.” What do we mean by lazy? Attackers will use the “lowest common denominator” method against the widest range of IP addresses from the same source set of IP addresses - which means that sharing information about their methods with others, and implementing simple defenses are best practices.

    Adjusting your focus from the “shiny object” of APTs to those broad-based threats can help prioritize your own defenses and optimize your incident response program. Attend this webinar to hear directly from Jaime Blasco, Director of AlienVault Labs, on how you can:

    * Understand the common exploit methods of the “lazy attacker”
    * Review the benefits of a collaborative approach to threat intelligence
    * Prioritize defensive tactics and remediation activities
    * Implement a unified, simplified approach to threat management
