Next Generation Network Security Threats -- What to Protect Against in 2008

Targeted threats are on the rise as new vulnerabilities continue to propagate. Evolving threats are less broad then the mass-mailing worms of the past. Newer threats focus on individuals or a specific company combining malware and social engineering to trick the individual through subtle manipulation. This session will discuss the next generation of threats that networks will battle and how they can be protected from these attacks.

Comprehensive End-Point Security Solutions

  • Research shows that between 75% (Aberdeen Group, Ernst & Young) and 85% (FBI) of security breaches are committed by authorized internal users.
  • Internal studies by a major credit card provider concur that "all too often fraud or compromise can be traced to either a current or former employee."
  • CIOs and Security Officers report that this problem is at the top of their priority list (Gartner Group), and only about 10% of these breaches are ever detected (USA Today).
  • All this, and the fact that the average cost of an internal attack is a hefty $2 million per incident.

For a quick and easy way to manage your networked endpoints and servers, you'll want to learn about clientless offerings. They're fast, don't require software to be installed on your end-points and don't chew up all your network bandwidth.

Come to this informative educational opportunity and learn about Clientless Endpoint Security Management (CESM) technology. CESM solutions enable companies to maximize their security investment and ROI to ensure ongoing optimal operations of their I/T infrastructure.

A special gift will be available for all attendees who stop by the JCS & Associates, Inc. booth and drop off their business card, so don't forget to bring your business cards with you to this event.
