Protection Against Spear Phishing and the Modern Cyber Threats
Advanced threats target users through email, website, instant messenger, USB devices and social engineering. Traditional blacklist antivirus cannot keep pace with today's modern malware. Join Jessica Couto from Bit9 to better understand how hackers are outsmarting traditional security approaches with targeted attacks and spear phishing – the most common technique behind some of today’s most damaging cyber attacks. Learn how these threats work and the most impactful things you can do to prevent targeted attacks from breaching your organization.

Get Your Wi-Fi Ready for the iPad
Apple has sold over 52 million iPhones and iPads in the first half of 2011. These employee-owned consumer devices are making their way to the workplace creating a new set of security and management challenges for IT departments. Aruba has developed a new solution to help customers scale their "existing" Wi-Fi network (including Cisco Wi-Fi) and IT helpdesk processes to support productivity enhancing bring-your-own-device initiatives. Aruba's clientless solution provides a mechanism to secure, provision and manage employee-owned devices while minimizing IT overhead. |

The future of data center security—and how next-generation firewalls will play a big part in that future.
Data center security is under pressure. Modern malware attacks and virtualization have added to the constant demands of reliability, performance, and compliance - making it even more difficult to achieve the right balance for security.
Unfortunately, data center architects haven't been offered a wide range of choices: either choose performance OR security—but not both. Furthermore, that choice is "hardwired" into the data center design, proving painful to change if the threat landscape, the regulatory environment, or the organization's tolerance for risk changes. Finally, not all data centers are created equal—enterprise core data centers, serving many applications to the organization's employees are very different from Internet-facing data centers serving a few applications to the whole world.
In this presentation, you will learn:
- How next-generation firewalls address the balance of performance and security better, and more flexibly than any previous attempts at data center security
- How next-generation firewalls can make data center infrastructure simpler and more reliable—regardless of data center architecture, yet increase protection against modern, targeted attacks
- How next-generation firewalls can help secure virtualized data center environments

Onboarding Personal Devices to Corporate Networks
Many IT organizations are being asked to allow personal devices onto corporate networks. Unlike corporate-issued devices that are well-managed and under IT’s control, this new Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) initiative introduces a unique set of security challenges that require a balance of flexibility, visibility, security.
This presentation will explain the concept of a “BYOD Blueprint” and lessons learned from onboarding personal devices to over 800 networks around the world. |
