The New Normal: The Market Forces Driving the Next Generation of Network Security
Please join DG Technology & McAfee for a discussion on the key market forces that are driving an evolution of network security today. We will examine the two biggest drivers - Virtualization & Cloud Computing – and how they can, will and should impact your security strategy. We will review how to:
- Exploit the cloud without exposing your data
- Retain the operational benefits of virtualization while ensuring optimized virtual server security and compliance
- Next Generation Intrusion Prevention Strategy
- Next Generation Firewalls

Web Security for the Always On User
The average business faces 5,000 threats each month. Malware infrastructures, social networking, cloud applications and mobile devices are responsible for the exponential growth in malicious sites and attacks. This evolving threat landscape is changing the game for how we can protect against new types of advanced attacks.
- How has social media and a mobile workforce impacted your business?
- How does Web security adjust according to an employee’s location and his device?
- How do you create a solid security posture, while allowing for personal and recreational Internet use?
- What best practices, strategies, and solutions are available to protect today’s always on user?

Trust-based Security: A Proactive Approach that Puts You in Control
In 2012 we’ve seen an unprecedented rise in targeted cyber attacks and an acceleration of the loss of core IP. While state sponsored attacks and cyber espionage have been occurring for decades, the level of disclosure and visibility of these attacks is rising to new levels. We are witnessing the greatest theft of intellectual property in history. Industry analysts state traditional Anti-virus security does not work and is “fighting a losing battle”. A trust-based approach is the most effective way to stop advanced threats and malware
In this session, attendees will receive an in-depth review of the importance of a trust-based security solution. |

Key Steps of Protection for a First Line of Defense - Defending Against DDoS Attacks and Unwanted Traffic
With the number of successful attacks on the rise, it is evident that firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, and traditional security infrastructures are not equipped to combat them. These technologies were not built to stop DDoS attacks, undesirable behaviors, advanced evasion attacks and other unwanted malicious traffic targeting your infrastructure.
Corero Network Security, an organization’s First Line of Defense, is the leading provider of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) defense. |

The Dynamic World of Threat Detection, Containment & Response
Regardless of size, network security is a top priority for all organizations. Networks are more vulnerable than ever due to the inherent risk of facilitating remote access in conjunction with the volume of traffic and the speed at which that traffic is flowing. As organizations migrate from 1Gb to 10Gb and beyond, network security tools struggle to keep up with these increasing connection speeds as the tools may not be designed to process the volume of packet traffic going through the protected link. Therefore, it is vital to implement security architectures and strategies that not only prevent security breaches, but can also dynamically react to potential threats and scale to meet future needs. |

Next Generation Threat Protection
The new generation of threats has exposed the need for next-generation protection against advanced threats. Over 95% of companies already have compromised systems within their networks. Why? Advanced malware has eroded the effectiveness of traditional defenses, leaving a hole in the network. Designed to use signatures to block known threats, traditional, and next-generation firewalls, IPS, AV, and gateways do nothing when zero-day, targeted APT malware attacks.
To fill this gap in network defenses, a new generation of security protections has emerged, ready to do battle against advanced malware, zero-day, and targeted APT attacks. These next-generation security systems must plug the hole left by firewalls, IPS, AV, and Web gateways by applying advanced, coordinated techniques to identify, confirm and block the activities of next-generation threats.
