Advanced Targeted Attacks on Federal Government: Why a Defense-in-Depth Architecture is Critical to Protect Our Nation’s Infrastructure

Cyber security remains the number one concern for federal information executives in 2012, and for good reason.  With cyber-attacks on federal government systems up nearly 700% in the last six years, the threat posed is only heightened by vulnerabilities in federal systems that support critical infrastructure.

As reported recently by CBS News, this new generation of cyber-attack is no longer designed to just steal sensitive government data, but could also cause significant physical damage to a facility. According to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, “There’s a strong likelihood that the next Pearl Harbor that we confront could very well be a cyber-attack.”

Join us for this complimentary webcast to learn how to defend your agency against this next generation of attack. During this webcast we will discuss:

• Techniques and tactics that make next-generation attacks successful in the absence of a layered security architecture
• Why conventional security defenses are no longer effective
• How a defense-in-depth architecture can reduce the vulnerability of mission-critical control systems
• Key criteria when investigating next-generation threat protection
