ESET to Present on UEFI Security Threats and Cybersecurity Breakthroughs at RSA 2024Booth visitors try their hand at "PREVENT," ESET's custom VR game, while learning about AI-native prevention for tomorrow's threats SAN DIEGO and BRATISLAVA, Slovakia, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ESET, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, today announced its participation in the upcoming RSA Conference in San Francisco from May 6–9, 2024. At the event, which brings together IT experts from around the world, ESET Malware Researcher Martin Smolár will present on critical vulnerabilities and long-lasting problems in Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) security, which resulted into the discovery of the BlackLotus UEFI bootkit. Details about the session, which takes place on May 7 at 1:15pm PT in Moscone West, Room 3002, are available here. "Although UEFI firmware is widely deployed, and the number of real UEFI threats is increasing every year, most organizations overlook the security risks in this critical computing layer. UEFI bootkits are very powerful threats, having full control over the OS boot process and thus capable of operating stealthily and disabling various security mechanisms. Martin's presentation discloses the latest tactics being used by adversaries and how organizations can ramp up their own security posture," said Michal Jankech, Vice President of SMB and MSP segments at ESET. Visitors to ESET's Booth 1761 in the South Expo Hall will hear about AI-native prevention for tomorrow's threats while getting the chance to play ESET's immersive VR game "PREVENT," developed for RSA attendees. Demos at the booth include:
