SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 11/06/13 -- AhnLab, a leading provider of information security products and services for enterprise business environments, today announced that Leo Versola, vice president of technology, will be a featured presenter at the 2013 IANS Atlanta Information Security Forum on November 19-20 at the Hyatt Regency in Atlanta, GA.

AhnLab's session will focus on preventing malware attacks in a network environment and protecting digital assets from Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). The presentation will take place during the Technology Spotlight Sessions on Tuesday from 2:50 p.m. - 4:10 p.m. and Wednesday from 10:35 a.m. - 11:55 a.m.

"The creators of APTs write their code with a purpose, such as industrial espionage, monetary theft, or disabling an organization's networks for financial or political gain," said Leo Versola, vice president of technology, AhnLab. "These attacks represent a very special type of threat -- it is silent, difficult to trace, and potentially devastating in the damage it can do. These attacks are not new, but the latest incarnations expertly leverage e-mail, social networks, and other essential services to massively expand their scope."

Launched in North America earlier this year, AhnLab Malware Defense System (MDS) is the only enterprise strength security system that combines local and cloud-based analytics to stop APTs and zero-day threats anywhere across the organization. AhnLab MDS delivers comprehensive threat protection for endpoints, servers, networks and cloud resources, all within a single architecture and integrated management environment.

Benefits and features of AhnLab MDS include:

• Simplified management and rapid response to APTs anywhere across the enterprise
• Automated malware removal and targeted disruption of malware network activity without affecting normal business operations
• Scanning of popular file formats frequently used by APTs for propagation in real-time
• More user-friendly log search fields and advanced search options, with wildcard search feature
• Enhanced file analysis and risk alert for detection events
