"Current security technologies and best practices are not effective at preventing this new generation of attacks from being successful. New strategies are needed to keep businesses running and critical infrastructure secure." Join Lancope to learn about the top threats facing enterprise networks in 2013 and the new strategies that organizations can use to combat them: WHO: Tom Cross, Director of Security Research, Lancope, Inc. WHAT: "Top 5 Cyber Security Challenges for 2013" WHEN: Thursday, January 24, 11:00 a.m. ET / 8:00 a.m. PT REGISTER: http://www.lancope.com/news-events/webinars/top-5-cyber-security-challenges-for-2013/ In order to address evolving risks and challenges, organizations must adopt next-generation security solutions that provide much greater network visibility and threat intelligence than conventional tools. By leveraging NetFlow, IPFIX and other types of flow data inherent in existing infrastructure, behavioral-based monitoring tools like Lancope's StealthWatch® System can provide the in-depth network insight and security context needed to fend off advanced threats. "We are not going to catch today's sophisticated attacks with tools that can only detect known malware and exploits that target known vulnerabilities," added Cross. "We need to focus on the behavior of software, systems and actors on the network to identify suspicious activities that could be evidence of an attack." Webinar participants will learn how to address: -- State-sponsored espionage and sabotage of computer networks -- Monster DDoS attacks -- The loss of visibility and control created by IT consumerization and the cloud -- The password debacle -- Insider threats For further details on Lancope's StealthWatch System, go to: http://www.lancope.com/products/.
