Malware, Crimeware and Phishing - In Depth Look at Threats, Defenses



Webcast: The evolution of malware and crimeware has produced more insidious and harmful intrusions to networks and systems. This webinar will show how these types of intrusions relate to phishing and will help put current attacks into perspective and help organizations anticipate likely trends. The webinar will also describe the different ways by which clients may be attacked, and their machines may become infected. While many of these threats aren't yet seen in the wild, a thorough understanding of the threats allows for proactive defenses to be deployed against them when they do occur. Attendees will learn what organizations should do, and what are the best proactive approaches to crimeware and phishing. The different kinds of services that are available to react to attacks will be covered. Attendees will learn how to evaluate their organization's vulnerabilities to existing attacks and potential future threats, and equally will also learn what should not be done.
