Today’s Reality: Living in Compromise to Advanced Persistent Threats
On-Demand Webcast |
Event Description
Are you getting ahead of the attackers? Do you really know? Half of the civilian, law enforcement and intelligence agency CISO’s interviewed* in early 2009 claim they are behind, in a reactive mode and are frustrated by advanced, persistent threats. What type of threats do you face?
Understanding the threat community your organization contends with, knowing their capabilities and motivation, is a necessary and critical piece of the risk analysis equation. Without good threat information your risk management decisions may be flawed or at best inaccurate.
Hear from Amit Yoran, former Director of the US-CERT and National Cyber Security Division of the Department of Homeland Security and gain fresh insights into the threat community and how your organization can take back lost ground in the cyber war.
* The 2009 State of Cybersecurity from the Federal CISO’s Perspective — An (ISC)2® Report
Many of today's network-based, advanced persistent threats evade detection by security teams. Although many organizations have implemented a broad array of security technologies, sophisticated adversaries are taking full advantage of the network visibility gaps that remain. This session focuses on the true nature and sources of today's difficult threats, and describes solution characteristics, both technology and operations-related, which are required to detect these invisible threats. Mr. Yoran demonstrates techniques that will enable your organization to detect and stop designer malware, zero-day attacks, and non-signature-based threats to improve overall network visibility, and to detect the leakage and exfiltration of valuable organizational data.
The session covers actual technical case studies from the commercial and public sector to illustrate more effective operational methods for monitoring enterprise infrastructures at the application and content/context layers by performing advanced analysis of full packet captures.
Speaker: Amit Yoran, CEO, NetWitness Corporation
Learning Objectives
- The true nature and sources of threats facing public and private organizations
- How NetWitness Live and Cisco Global Threat Correlation to reduce contact with the criminal threat community and allow organizations to effectively manage information risk.
- The technical reasons that advanced persistent threats are evading current perimeter defenses such as IDS, log monitoring and flow-based technologies
- Advanced techniques for next generation network monitoring using advanced analytics of full packet captures and the integration of NetWitness NextGen technology with existing Cisco infrastructures
- Specific examples of adversary exploits (demonstrations) similar to trends observed within organized crime groups and state- sponsored attacks
Who Should View?
Private and public sector Information security professionals who are responsible for security intelligence and/or need to stay current on the capabilities of the external threat community.
