A Proactive Solution to Threat Management

This talk will discuss threat management at the higher level, where software solutions are tools to be utilized as part of the protection scheme, not a end in its self. The range of threat vectors from direct through to indirect and onwards to an integrated solution.

Attacks are coming from all angles. In some cases they are very rudimentary; in others they are highly complex. Organizations must be able to protect themselves regardless, and do so in a way this is in parity with business operations, maintains employee and partner agility, and is manageable without the complexity of the solution being worse than the attack itself. Failure to address these three different attack types can result in everything from diminished brand loyalty, regulatory penalties, and lost revenue, to stolen intellectual property, economic competitive disadvantage, and military competitive disadvantage.

Vulnerabilities are everywhere. Knowing where they are is useful—but know which one will be exploited is much more useful. Security professionals need to focus on real threats plaguing today’s practitioners and provide up-to-date statistics on actual attack data. Where can they get such data? Imperva’s Hacker Intelligence Initiative analyzes hacker attack data on a regular, detailed basis and helps answer: What are the most commonly exploited vulnerabilities? What are the trending topics hackers are discussing? Where should practitioners focus their Web security controls?

Today, it is clear a new wave of organized, state sponsored, espionage is targeting commercial and federal information systems with continuous long term attacks. In this technical webinar, independent federal security expert Gunnar Peterson explores how a Security Gateway, deployed at the network edge can deliver deeper inspection of XML based web service traffic for advanced APT threat identification, attribution, and proactive monitoring.
