Practical strategies to safeguard your network
According to Gartner the enterprise network firewall market is undergoing a period of dynamic evolution, as effective next-generation firewalls are now increasingly necessary. There is a new generation of Internet applications that traditional firewalls cannot see. They play host to various malware and find creative ways to penetrate your firewall by disguising themselves, hiding in SSL tunnels, and targeting multiple ports to find entry points. Gone are the days of lone, brute force attackers out to steal credit cards. The new breed of predators on your infrastructures and applications are highly organized, evasive, and patient. Regain control of these apps before they take control of your business! Join Palo Alto Networks in this session where you'll learn practical strategies to safeguard your network. |

Onboarding Personal Devices to Corporate Networks

Managing the Uncertain World of Document Sharing Over the Internet
Today’s business depends on a healthy exchange of information via email. Many employees are not aware of the recent trend where intruders use common document formats to deliver active code to an unsuspecting user with the goal of exploiting and controlling your network and data. In this session, Clearswift will address how email is being used to deliver Advanced Persistent Threats to your users through common document formats such as Adobe and Office and also how to safeguard sensitive information inadvertently delivered by your users to the world.
This session will kick-off with a discussion of how both Office and Adobe documents are being modified to host active code to deliver targeted attacks. The second part of the presentation will focus on data leakage, more specifically, Microsoft’s File Classification Infrastructure and other ways to define data. Another often overlooked issue, which can be prevented, is how employees, even with the best of intentions, may inadvertently send proprietary information to customers or partners.
We’ll conclude with a discussion of the latest tools that can help to ward off these threats and give you and your employees peace of mind when communicating with entities outside your organization.
