The New Face of Malware
Stories from the Battlefield
January 10, 2007
11:00am - 1:30pm US EST
The second
annual AVIEN Virtual conference concentrated on the evolution
of Malware from a generally innocent venture to a multi-billion
dollar criminal industry.
Over the last few years, the face of malware has significantly changed. While the script kiddies are still playing, and continue to do so in sometimes sophisticated ways, malware has increasingly become profit driven, and presents new, additional challenges for those of us charged with enterprise malware defense.
While the old threats have not gone away, we have to now understand and defend against the recent wave of crimeware, while continuing to be aware of (and reacting to) more traditional forms of malware.
We are pleased to present, in our second annual AVIEN Virtual conference, a roster of speakers who are uniquely qualified to speak to the real impact to enterprises of modern-day threats.
