This year's Infosecurity Europe conference in London is offering a top-notch range of sessions, ranging from how to battle cybercrime and social engineering to building a better security culture and workforce. Here's my list of must-see sessions.
Britain's computer emergency response team - CERT-UK - reports that malware remains the dominant mode of online attack for cybercriminals, and Zeus their most preferred tool of choice. But the team is promoting a free information-alert service to help.
Wanted: Hackers for hire. Or in British government parlance: "Committed and responsible individuals who have the potential to carry out computer network operations to keep the U.K. safe." Ready to apply?
Much of today's crime is "cyber-enabled," warns cybercrime expert Raj Samani, and successfully blocking such attacks increasingly demands not just better technology and public-private collaboration, but also an understanding of psychology.
Today's cybercriminals are perfecting the use of advanced-persistent-threat attacks to pilfer valuable information from precisely targeted victims, says Greg Day of security provider FireEye.
Timely analysis of data residing in an organization's information systems is a critical element of IT security, say Haiyan Song and Joe Goldberg of the security firm Splunk.
"Security as a business enabler" was the mantra echoing through the recently concluded 2014 Infosecurity Europe conference in London, a message that should have been heeded by top executives at retailer Target last year.
Too many organizations have a device-centric BYOD policy that fails to look at big picture issues, including building a comprehensive strategy for protecting corporate information no matter how it's accessed, says Ian Evans of AirWatch.
As members of the workforce increasingly rely on mobile devices to access corporate data, secure sharing of files becomes more challenging, says Accellion's Vidhya Ranganathan, who describes an effective strategy.
A behavioral analysis approach to fighting malware can be more effective than a signature-based approach in the current threat environment, contends Webroot's Patrick Kennedy.
Network "situational awareness" can help organizations in all business sectors improve regulatory compliance by identifying networks and devices that need protection, says Lumeta's Reggie Best.
Voltage Security's Mark Bower contends data-centric security can help break down barriers to the widespread use of encryption and help protect sensitive information, including credit card numbers.
For too long, code writers have been measured on the features built into their applications - not the potential security vulnerabilities. It's time to change that perspective, says Maty Siman of Checkmarx.
The old, standard dashboards are no longer sufficient. To be truly effective, network pros now need new data to help find and resolve network security issues, says Mike Heumann of Emulex.
Trusted Identity is the end-goal, and mobile devices are the means to get there, says Dave Rockvam of Entrust. How are mobile devices being leveraged for security in the enterprise today?
