Does your IT department spend significant resources each year remediating damaged desktop systems? The sad truth is far too many of your colleagues are buried by the issue - and the culprit is malware. Learn how eliminate the threat in this webinar.
Since the start of 2011 we have witnessed a surge in Targeted Attacks. Whether cybercriminals are after customer information, intellectual property or simply monitoring a particular email address, they've used this method to exploit sensitive data of organizations across the globe for their own personal gain. So what exactly is a Targeted Attack and why is it important for public and private, large and small organizations alike to be aware of the threat? Find out in this presentation.
Becoming a cybercriminal today is far too easy. Plus, there's a lot of incentive — including a relatively low prosecution rate and the ability to make large sums of money. Watch this webinar to find out how cybercriminals set up shop and what you can do to protect your business from their schemes.
The first half of 2011 has proven to be a time of transition for the security industry. Since the take down of the Rustock botnet and the website Spamit.com, email threats like spam have seen a marked decrease. But cybercriminals aren't resting. Instead their focus has shifted to more sophisticated and lucrative activities like targeted and blended attacks - wreaking havoc on enterprises and government entities across the globe.
Industry reports show that cybercrime cost organizations at least $100B in 2010. And that number is projected to double by 2012. How has the problem grown so out of control? And what can you do to fill the giant gap caused by antiquated security solutions?
Do you know what's sneaking into your network? The problem is most companies don't. In fact, recent data suggests that nearly 60% of all modern threats are passing straight through most security solutions. Watch this webinar to discover the key to ensuring Web security for both present and future security threats.
The forceful advancement of Web 2.0 applications and mobile devices have revolutionized how companies operate. They've also radically affected the day-to-day processes of a typical IT department. So the question remains: how can IT create policies that help increase employee productivity and still enforce tight security measures? Watch this webinar to find out.
Compliance is often a major issue for IT departments. And considering many industries have their own regulations, it can sometimes be confusing to balance those mandates with internal acceptable use policies (AUP). But that doesn't have to be the case.
A year makes a big difference when it comes to Web and email security. In 2010, we noted an uptick in scareware, mass malware attacks and the use of shortened URLs to obscure malicious links on various messaging platforms. As 2011 approaches, we look to the future to predict what's in store for next year's threat landscape. M86 Security Labs analysts compiled a list of eight key threats to watch for, including smartphone attacks, Malware-as-Service and cybercriminals' rush to the Cloud.
Jim Culbert, IS Manager, Duval County Public Schools and Bradley Anstis, VP, Technical Strategy, M86 Security presented an informative webinar on December 1st and discussed Acceptable Use Policies (AUP) in the learning environment and how traditional AUPs have been dramatically impacted by modern day social media.
Deploying effective Web security to your office users is difficult enough whether deploying on-premises or cloud-based solutions. Extending this coverage in a consistent manner to mobile users is a real challenge. What can we learn from the advantages of on-premises and cloud-based solutions in using a hybrid model to extend coverage to these users, then, how do we cover the explosion of new devices?
Web-based technologies are advancing rapidly, enabling organizations to work more efficiently than ever before. Unfortunately, malware is evolving even faster, and organizations are vulnerable to data loss and compliance risks from unmonitored social media posts and uploads.To combat these challenges, M86 Security developed the new M86 Secure Web Gateway 10.0, a proactive security solution that helps organizations protect their networks and data while allowing flexible Web access, and by integrating with our new Security Reporter 3.0, it's the most scalable Web security reporting solution available and provides total visibility into an organization's Web traffic.
Although most business leaders and IT managers believe their security technologies adequately defend against low-level threats, instances of Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) have increased. APTs, which are combined, sustained attacks on an organization's computer systems, have infiltrated several major IT companies, including Google, Adobe and Juniper, demonstrating the effectiveness of these methods.
M86 Security Labs uncovered a cyber-attack against the customers of a well-known global financial institution. Since July 5, the attack compromised more than 3,000 accounts and illegally transferred US $889,000 via money mules, according to log information from the affected command and control servers.
The cybercriminals who coordinated this man-in-the-browser attack used the Eleonore and Phoenix exploit kits to infect systems with the latest version of the notorious Zeus Trojan.
This webinar is ideal for IT decision makers, HR managers, executives and security administrators -- anyone responsible for adopting and enforcing an organization's email and Web Acceptable Use Policies (AUPs). You'll receive practical guidelines for updating your AUP to accommodate the increasing use of social media in the business environment. Plus, we'll identify some of the complexities organizations face in balancing AUP enforcement in a Web 2.0 world.
While it may seem like business as usual, with the attacks and threats continuing to increase seemingly uninhibited, as we look back on the 1st half of 2010, there were some very troubling new developments. Events like Operation Aurora and the recent spate of automated mass legitimate Web site infections are areas that need to be carefully reviewed. Could affiliate programs hold the key to finally defeating spam?
Reported data breaches continue to increase year on year and regulatory requirements which aim to stem the tide of data leaks don't seem to be preventing this ever-growing problem. We all know that we need to be protecting our confidential information from leaking from our organizations as part of the overall IT security strategy, but how much time and resources can you spare to implement a complex Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solution in your organization?
This webinar provides a simple guide on how to combat threats from inside and outside your organization as well as practical advice on how deploying smart Web and Email security solutions will give you the control you need to proactively and productively exchange information without worrying about harmful data leaks.
Web 2.0 applications offer some of the most productive new tools for organizations, and also some of the biggest threats. While most organizations see differences in their value, many have not taken adequate steps for protection and have left themselves open to employee abuse, or worse. In fact, a recent study shows that, 45% of organizations had been infected through Web surfing or the use of Web 2.0 applications in the last 12 months.
This session reviews the results from a study that M86 Security Labs completed in April 2010. In the last few years, M86 Security Labs has seen a dramatic increase in attack or exploit kits. These easy-to-use kits are the backbone of exploits in the "wild". M86 Security Labs research reviews how exploit kits are developed, distributed and monetized globally. The turnover of exploits is quick. The success rate is high. And, all of this for very minimal cost for the exploit kit users and operators. This webinar is based on a recent M86 Security Labs report that provides a fundamental understanding of how exploits operate and give the attendee a true sense of the business behind the crime.
This session reviews the results from a study that M86 Security Labs completed in March 2010. This study analyzed 30,000 active live malicious URL links and how URL Filtering and AV Scanning technologies performed in detecting the malicious content compared to Real-time Code Analysis. The session also reviewed three common methods used today to distribute malware on the Internet, and finished by presenting what the ideal solutions may be to address these threats.
This presentation reviews the recent white paper released on Hybrid Web Security looking at all the advantages and disadvantages of on-premises and cloud-based Web security solutions. We demonstrate how a combination of both, a 'hybrid', is the ideal platform for many Web security requirements today.
Often, despite gains in Web and email security, we're reminded of how quickly new threats emerge and evolve. This presentation covers key trends and developments in Internet security.
Featured Gartner speaker, Research Director Peter Firstbrook, will reveal how Web threats are getting more sophisticated and more ubiquitous — and what you can do to fight back. His comments will cover critical points to consider when evaluating Secure Web Gateway products.
Scareware is frightening, tiny URLs cause big problems and clouds darken the horizon in 2010.
