ISC8 Cyber Security Engineering Director Jim Deerman to Present on Advanced Malware Detection at Phoenix Security and Audit Conference
WHAT: “Advanced Malware Detection through Attack Life Cycle Analysis”
WHEN: Tuesday,October 22, 2013
WHERE: Phoenix Security and Audit Conference (PHX SAC) 2014
Desert Willow Conference Center, Phoenix, Arizona
WHY: With the onslaught of modern cyber-attacks on high profile and high value targets, it is apparent that the state of information security is critically lacking in this new environment. Computers and personal devices are becoming increasingly network-oriented, and the strategies and behaviors of modern malware have evolved to focus attacks on inter-connected networked systems. The cyber security tools for countering threats and mitigating risk have become ineffective and outdated. Advanced malware, particularly APTs (advanced persistent threats) can no longer be stopped at the perimeter; only by monitoring the core network and identifying malicious activity that maps the phases of an attack, can the malware be detected before it can carry out its mission.
This presentation provides a brief history of how malware has evolved, the lifecycle of advanced malware and outlines a unique solution to combat current and future generations of APTs. This integrated system uses forensic technology to monitor and analyze internal network traffic and detect low-level suspicious traffic that could signal malicious activity. This solution has been deployed and is proving to be a crucial asset in the protection of critical data in various vertical markets, including financial, medical and telecommunications..
