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.

Advanced malware, zero-day and targeted APT attacks. This is the new status quo.

IMF, Citibank, RSA, Sony, Epsilon, Lockheed and many others have been attacked. In fact, over 95% of enterprises are easily compromised as advanced attacks simply bypass traditional signature-based defenses such as NGFW, IPS, AV and Web gateways. The security hole is real and it is pervasive
Don’t be the next headline. Learn how to protect yourself .
The presentation will cover:

• The new threat landscape – advanced, zero-day and targeted APT attacks
• How advanced attacks easily bypass your current security
• The hole left open by traditional signature-based technologies
• Plugging the security hole
• Next generation security for next generation threats

Breaking the Vicious Cycle of the Malnet Threat and Botnet Infections

The Vicious Cycle of Malnets
In 2012, Blue Coat expects malware distribution infrastructures will be responsible for more than two- thirds of all malicious cyber-attacks.  Malnets (malware networks) are extensive infrastructures embedded in the Internet and designed to deliver mass market attacks to the largest possible audience on a continuous basis. Hear the details of Blue Coat Systems latest 2012 Security Report and learn why stopping the attacks using traditional zero-day defenses is a losing proposition.  Learn how cyber-criminals have created a vicious cycle of malware attacks and why you need new solutions in order to protect your users and break this vicious cycle.  In this session you learn:

• What threat vectors are being exploited by cyber-criminals to target their attacks
• Why the 'whack-a-mole' defense strategy just doesn't work against todays attacks
• Why 'zero-day' defense is insufficient and why you need negative-day protection
• Where malnet infrastructures are located and hide and why they are nearly impossible to eradicate
