Those responsible for APT target intellectual property across government and industry literally every minute. The difference between normal malware and APT is the intruders perseverance, significant financial resources and time. Intruders create malware that circumvents common information security safeguards or use undisclosed vulnerabilities to penetrate networks and computers. Attackers refine and escalate their tools, methods and techniques as a targeted companys response improves. Its a very high-stakes chess match. McAfee CSO Brent Conran will discuss the rapidly evolving threat landscape and how highly customized malware code or APT is being used by sophisticated and organized cyber intrusion teams to steal information from compromised computers. He will also introduce a security architecture that scales to meet enterprise business realities and helps keep your intellectual property protected.
