Transforming Your Network into a Platform for Mobility
The modern “mobile-first” enterprise network requires a mobility-optimized approach that is not simply dependent on network access for policy enforcement and control. Contextual elements, such as user identity, device type, application, location, and time of day are the primary building blocks used to create granular policies that dictate how, when, and what the user can access. In this session, we’ll assess the mobility-optimized approach which tightly integrates systems and adds contextual intelligence to create sophisticated “user centric” policies that reduce the complexities of a highly mobile user base. This will provide a vision for how optimizing for mobility can transform your network into a platform for mobility; a platform able to add business value, reduce operational cost and regain control of your network.

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.

Mobile For Strong Authentication -Turning the Mobile Device Evolution in Your Favor
Mobile devices are everywhere. While many organizations are focused on mobile device management, a growing number of them are realizing other strategic uses for these mobile devices. Whether corporate owned, or BYOD a growing number of organizations are utilizing mobile devices to replace and enhance legacy authentication technologies. Mobile devices are powerful identity tools that can enhance and replace authenticators such as: OTP tokens, smart cards, and user names/passwords. In this presentation Entrust will discuss the mobile landscape, threats and some new innovative ways users can easily, and strongly authenticate to physical/logical systems.

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.

Malware pandemic? Sometimes getting a shot only treats the symptoms and not the cause
Global brands continue to make the headlines following security incidents that result in the installation of malware that enables exfiltration of critical data. A broad survey of global enterprises entities reveal that in fact almost all large companies are compromised by malware to varying degrees, despite near universal use of firewalls, web proxies, and desktop and email antivirus screening. To some extent who ends up in the headlines may be a matter of bad luck. Still, there is a very large range in the extent of the compromise (infection rates) and obviously the more malware kept out of the network, the lower the odds of a truly bad incident.
Malware uses a range of tactics to avoid detection, but they can be broken into two over-arching categories - to be broad but highly dynamic, or very targeted and narrow. Malware in the former category will change it's MD5, domain of origin, etc many times a day.
In the second category falls the custom spear-phishing email attacks which continues to plague organizations.
Nathan Labadie is a System Engineer for FireEye, where he helps educate and enables the partner community protect against zero-day, targeted malware attacks. Nathan has 14 years industry experience in information technology and has focused on Information Security since 2002. Before joining FireEye, he spent his last 5 years selling and educating customers and partners on SIEM, Log Management, and NBAD at Q1 Labs, which was acquired by IBM in 2012. Nathan holds a B.S. in Psychology from Wayne State University.
