Bring Your Own Service - The Effects of Cloud Services on Compliance and Data Protection
Recent research has revealed that organizations struggle to offer collaboration technologies that compete with free, cloud-based, consumer services in terms of functionality. However, these free services offer few of the security measures that have become standard in the corporate data center, and offer little or no guarantee for organizations that data stored in these services will be protected in accordance with organizational standards.
As a result, 80% of organizations do not currently allow their users to use cloud file sync services, and only 31% plan to do so in the future. As only 59% of organizations report to actively block these services from their networks, and as many workers now have access to their own mobile internet services and devices, it is a logical conclusion that considerable amounts of organizational data are now being created and transmitted entirely outside of the organizational perimeter, and outside of its control.
This presentation will review the findings of our research, discuss techniques for how organizations may assess whether they are protecting themselves from cloud data exodus or running the risk of losing control over their information assets.

A successful Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), explained.
“A successful (APT), explained” will delve into how malware has become a for profit business. We’ll show that advanced programming not required and almost anyone can buy the tools needed to launch a successful attack and demonstrate tools that mitigate these attacks. We’ll walk though some examples of recent attacks, including Eurograbber, a very successful recent targeted attack aimed at – you guessed it – grabbing euros from banking clients that netted $47M USD. We’ll also go through a new report produced by gathering data from customer sites worldwide. This report is available for preview here. http://www.checkpoint.com/campaigns/security-report/index.html |

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.
