  • In the last 10 years, hacking has become big business with a well organised infrastructure, defined roles and responsibilities, and sophisticated attack vector automation that generates large-scale attacks of unprecedented size, speed and devastation. Advanced protection is needed in order to successfully stand up to the ‘industrialisation of hacking’. In this webinar, Andy will talk about:

    - How to prevent web attacks like SQL injection, cross-site scripting, app DDoS or site scraping.

    - The limitations and vulnerabilities associated with IPS solutions and other traditional security solutions.

    - Attack-mitigation techniques for combating malware including bots and other automated attacks common in industrialised hacking.

    - How to protect networks from the ‘compromised insider’ threat.

    In this webcast we will highlight:
    • How today’s market misunderstands the role of SSL, anti-virus and firewalls technologies
    • How to apply "defense in depth" when properly securing your infrastructure
