<\/a>Information Security Threats for 2011<\/strong>
\nRoy Wattanasin, MIT<\/em><\/p>\n

This year brings IT professionals a lot of security challenges and concerns. What are the current attack vectors? What is being used in the wild? How is it being used? Why is it being used?<\/p>\n

As defined by Searchsecurity.com, an attack vector is, \u201ca path or means by which a hacker (or cracker) can gain access to a computer or network server in order to deliver a payload or malicious outcome.\u201d Join Roy in this discussion as he walks you through some of the items. We should be proactively looking for them and be ready at all times; if you\u2019re not already looking for them at your organization. Remember to bring your own questions and scenarios regarding your own issues. By proactively looking for them, it will help keep your organization and your end users better prepared and more secure.<\/p>\n

This session will address the latest in email, smartphone, USB and whole disk encryption. We\u2019ll also talk about data loss and leakage prevention\u2026important if you want to avoid the bad press of a data breach. Discover where confidential student records are stored and protect \u201cData at rest\u201d and \u201cData in motion\u201d. This is an interactive session so bring your own questions and scenarios.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Conventional Defenses + Unconventional Adversaries = ??? <\/strong>
\nJoshua Corman, Akamai Technologies<\/em><\/p>\n

With the rise of APTs, adaptive persistent adversaries, and chaotic actors like Anonymous, the stakes have never been higher. 2010\u2032s stunning trinity of Operation Aurora, Stuxnet, and WikiLeaks has been eclipsed by 2011\u2032s more than a breach-a-week (including security vendors). This escalation has proven to too few of us, that conventional security cannot stand up to the unconventional, modern adversaries. While the beltway often says \u201cWe need to Private sector to lead the way\u201d for cyber, how can we lead the way, when we\u2019ve lost our way? Our research shows a pronounced schism has formed between the majority who \u201cfear the auditor more than the attacker\u201d, and the minority who attempt to solve for both. With the bulk of vendor investments and market spending on dated, ineffective, compliance driven security, we aim to help the SINET community better identify capable and relevant security \u2013 giving us the best possible fighting chance\u2026 where it matters the most. We\u2019ll use a zombie apocalypse to reveal effective strategies and requirements for adapting to defend ourselves in the face of extreme circumstances.<\/p>\n
