NetWitness and WhiteHatWorld to Host Webcast on Stopping Advanced Threats from Evading Detection
HERNDON, Va.-(Business Wire)-September 5, 2008 - NetWitness Corporation, the leading provider of next generation network security monitoring and active threat intelligence software, announced today it will host a Webcast entitled, “How to Stop Advanced Persistent Threats from Evading Detection†on September 9, 2008 at 1 p.m. EDT. This complementary Webcast will be co-hosted with WhiteHatWorld, the online resource for key decision makers working in the security industry, to provide insight into the advanced network threats evading today’s detection solutions.
Many of today's network advanced persistent threats are evading detection by your perimeter defenses - whether you know it or not. That's because most organizations have developed an over-reliance upon perimeter-based, network-layer focused point solutions. The flawed assumption is that deployed network countermeasures will have signatures or profile-based foreknowledge of a given threat. As proven through numerous serious security breaches over the last few years, however, most signature and log-file-based security solutions are already entirely obsolete.
This Webcast focuses on the true nature and sources of today's most difficult threats, describing proven solutions, both technology and operations- related, required to solve this problem. We will discuss an effective operational plan of action consisting of the use of automated reporting and alerting, and interactive threat analysis applications built upon a distributed full packet capture and session reconstruction infrastructure. This Webcast will also describe an approach that will enable your organization to detect and stop designer malware, zero-day attacks, and non-signature-based threats to improve overall network visibility, and to detect the leakage and exfiltration of valuable corporate data. We will employ specific technical case studies and demonstrations to highlight the value of such an approach.
Attendees will learn:
- The technical reasons that advanced persistent threats are evading current perimeter-based point solutions such as IDS, log monitoring and flow-based technologies.
- The true nature and sources of threats facing public and private organizations and the gaps in current network visibility.
- Advanced techniques for next generation network monitoring using full packet capture and session reconstruction, and the network visibility improvements provided by this approach.
