ABSTRACT:
Most malware is simply a distraction.
Then there are more dangerous and advanced threats that can have severe consequences and are the choice of today's professional cyber-criminals-rootkits, buffer-overflows, and other sophisticated attacks.
This webcast brings together two industry luminaries-Robin Bloor and Dan Teal-to discuss these previously undetectable programs and attack surfaces. The webcast will cover:
- Cyber-criminal and Threat Ecosystem-in terms of how it affects the average company.
- Rootkits, Buffer Overflows and other Sophisticated Attacks-what they do, how they work, and what they try to do.
- Solution Options-including the role of kernel-based application whitelisting solutions like BOUNCER by CoreTrace™.
