Arbor Networks' Darren Anstee to Speak on Intelligent Incident Response at InfoSecurity Europe 2014

Arbor Networks, Inc., a leading provider of DDoS and advanced threat protection solutions for enterprise and service provider networks, announced today that Darren Anstee, director of solutions architects for Arbor Networks (News - Alert), will be speaking at InfoSecurity Europe 2014 on intelligent incident response and the need for actionable threat intelligence for proactive detection and mitigation. Arbor Networks is also sponsoring InfoSecurity Europe, showcasing the Pravail^® portfolio, including the recently unveiled Pravail Security Analytics, at Stand G90 throughout the week.

According to a recently-released global survey of CISOs and senior IT executives that was sponsored by Arbor and conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit, only 17 percent of business leaders feel fully prepared for an incident. The report, titled Cyber Incident Response: Are business leaders ready?, also found that 41 percent of business leaders noted that a better understanding of potential threats would help them feel more prepared to respond to those threats. Given today's rapidly changing threat landscape actionable intelligence is a must-have for organizations that are grappling with proper visibility and threat context.

"Intelligent incident response: Protecting your organization"
Obfuscation techniques, services and mechanisms for evading even the latest security solutions are being used more frequently, making signature-based, behavioral and sandbox detection less and less effective. More scalable and reliable ways of detecting, and hopefully preventing, potential compromises are needed. Intelligence-based incident response is the way forward. For incident response teams, detection is just the start; analysis, containment and remediation come next. To do these things effectively, a pervasive view of network activity is needed. This view needs to be dynamic in nature, allowing analysts to drill-down from a session-based view into detailed per-session information. Once an incident has been fully understood, an integrated mechanism to surgically mitigate any ongoing threat is required. Fundamentally, we need workflows that allow IR teams to work as rapidly and effectively as possible. This talk will focus on the tools and technologies needed to achieve the above.

Attend this technical presentation, led by Darren Anstee, director of solutions architects, to:

• Discover how current threats evade security solutions
• Understand how actionable threat intelligence information can help us to detect/prevent compromise
• Determine how technologies, such as Flow and high-speed packet analysis can help IR teams to work more effectively
