“Cutting-Edge Attack Techniques” - featuring Dr. Eric Cole, SANS fellow

Attackers continue to take advantage of widespread security vulnerabilities located throughout the enterprise IT stack to infiltrate sensitive assets and access protected data, perhaps best evidenced by the recent IE zero day attacks that compromised massive companies including Google.

From hydra-like botnet campaigns to Trojan attacks and targeted spear phishing campaigns, threats continue to gain in sophistication and volume and defensive controls have never been more challenged to stop emerging attacks. The best method for organizations to empower themselves and level the playing field is to use the same techniques employed by attackers to test where their more critical exposures exist.

Among the key points Cole will cover in this webcast will be:

• Which types of attacks are currently most prevalent and dangerous.
• Why more aggressive testing best addresses cutting-edge threats.
• How cross-vector testing helps thwart advanced malware and botnet programs.
• Important issues to consider in planning end user security awareness testing.

Even if you are already engaging in regular penetration tests it is crucially important to stay abreast of emerging threat models and the most effective assessment best practices being embraced by leading practitioners.

Please join us for this highly informational webcast that can help you continue to build and advance your penetration testing programs.
