In this webcast, we'll discuss new security insights from SonicWall's 2017 Annual Threat Report. Using cross-vector threat related information from its Global Response Intelligence Defense (GRID) network, we'll present the most common attacks that were observed by SonicWall's Threat Research Team and ways these emergent threats affect businesses of all sizes and avoid falling victim to them throughout the coming year.
Some of the things we'll discuss include
- How Ransomware changed during 2016 and the effect it had on malicious email and exploit kits
- The growth of SSL, the cause and how it's a double-edged sword
- How IoT devices were exploited and different security steps some organizations are taking in response
- Developments in Android security
- Changes in Point of Sale Malware compared to 2015 and useful lessons to be learnt
- The ever-evolving story of exploit kits shows progress in some areas by the good guys and the inevitable response of the bad guys - ood details in this one and all the others really
We'll also discuss what these data suggest for the coming year and proactive steps we can take. It's all about multiple layers of defense and we'll talk about measures ranging from the very specific – like browser settings – to the more strategic such as
- internal network segmentation
- the use of multiple sandbox technologies
- whitelisting
- the importance of risk analysis, identification of what's really mission-critical and what's not – and why that is so important to have on hand and up to date when the inevitable attack occurs
- training the human element
Join us for this interesting and wide ranging discussion based on the forthcoming 2017 SonicWall Annual Threat Report. Ken Dang and Dmitriy Ayrapetov from SonicWall will share their knowledge of the report.
