Today the threat has changed. Hackers are no longer kids trying to create a name for themselves; they're professionals with a vast network and are capable of increasingly sophisticated and highly targeted attacks. In fact, many of today's attacks are so stealth that the victims may not even realize their systems have been compromised for days, weeks or even months. So how do organizations address malware attacks as part of their overall risk management program? What steps can you take to ensure that your organization is not the next TJX or Ameritrade? This presentation provides an overview of the attacks targeting the enterprise today and an insider's look into how a malware attack is executed and what tools are needed to respond effectively. Get statistics on malware from the Kaspersky Anti-Virus Research Lab in Moscow and the specific business risks they represent. Learn about risk analysis, virus dissection and recommended mitigation frameworks.
