A Multi-layered Approach Against Advanced Threats - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

The growing sophistication and evasiveness of cyber threats have redesigned the paradigms of the information security landscape. Since traditional signature-based technologies alone cannot keep the pace with advanced threats, a breed of new technologies has been developed to fill the gap in what seems an endless arms race against malware creators. In the same time, the volatility of the perimeter, direct consequence of the growing adoption of cloud services, dramatically broadens the vulnerability surface of the organizations, requiring a new approach for the CISOs in terms of both technologies and policies. In this webcast we will analyse the current threat landscape related to advanced malware, demonstrating that, unlike what is commonly believed, it is not necessarily related to state-sponsored operations, but it is frequently used even in opportunistic attacks (and in several cases also available as a P/SaaS model). After showing the characteristics that make a malware “advanced” (evasion at the endpoint and network level, polymorphism, etc), the webcast will outline the foundations of a multi-layered approach needed to detect, contain and mitigate the threats posed by advanced threats.
