Advanced Persistent Threats - Cutting Through the Hype
December 14, 2011 at 2pm ET

Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are one of the most talked about issues in cyber security - and the most misunderstood. Stealthy, prolonged incursions deep into critical IT systems - by deliberate adversaries – are both sensational media headlines and a critical issue at the top of Federal agendas.

From recent U.S. Intelligence reports that detail nation-state sponsored espionage, to the Operation Shady RAT and Duqu attacks, the U.S. is carefully evaluating the state of advanced attacks and even adapting policy to encompass the use of offensive cyberattacks in response to external threats.

Join ESG Senior Principal Analyst Jon Oltsik, and Mel Shakir, Chief Technology Officer at Nitro Security, for a research-based discussion on:

• Clear understanding of the dangers of APTs
• Why some organizations are well prepared, and most are not
• Pragmatic processes to assess and identify internal vulnerabilities
• Insights on best practices proven effective on the front lines
• New “rule-less” correlation & analysis technology that automates detecting and deciphering critical clues

Presenters:
Jon Oltsik Senior Principal Analyst, ESG
