AV isn't Dead. It's Evolving.

Presented by

Tyler Moffitt Threat Research Analyst, Webroot

About this talk

Traditional signature AV technology is no longer able to consistently and fully remediate or defend against today’s most advanced threats. New and emerging threats such as ransomware, social engineering driven attacks, and micro variant financial threats are just some of the examples of difficult to remediate infections. This presentation will take a look at the malware landscape and explain why these tactics are so effective against traditional AV technology. We will examine three specific families of infections and highlight their tactics to evade detection and what issues occur with remediation. To keep up with modern malware, the methods for discovering and addressing new threats needs to change. Lastly, we will talk about Webroot’s innovation and how our SecureAnywhere AV solution is capable of defending against, and remediating today’s most advanced threats.
