Damballa Webinar Explores How "U.S. Anti-Bot Code of Conduct" Affects Internet Service Providers

Damballa Inc., the company transforming the fight against cyber threats, is participating in a live webinar titled, "The Impact of CSRIC's 'US Anti-Bot Code of Conduct' - Detecting Botnets in Service Provider Networks," featuring Heavy Reading Analyst, Patrick Donegan, and Damballa Vice President of Research, Gunter Ollmann. The webinar will be hosted by Light Reading and held on Tesday, May 1, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. eastern.

Cyber fraud and information theft stemming from botnet activity within Internet and mobile service provider networks are proliferating. With mounting consumer and government pressure for added security, representatives from the FCC (News - Alert) and leading ISPs jointly developed a voluntary code of conduct, which provides a framework to help service providers address these threats and ultimately protect U.S. consumers. Gunter Ollmann, member of CSRIC Working Group 7, will detail how the U.S. Anti-Bot Code of Conduct affects the industry as well as individual service providers. Learn about effective approaches several large providers have used that have proven effective in meeting the requirements of the new Code of Conduct.

This webinar will address:

• Why the Communications Security, Reliability and Interoperability Council (CSRIC) was formed
• What the requirements of the U.S. Anti-Bot Code of Conduct are
• How to detect subscriber infections in service provider networks
• Methods used to alert and inform subscribers
• How service providers can guide subscribers through an automated remediation process
