 Cyber Crime Turns to Targeted Attacks

by Richard Stiennon, VP Threat Research, Webroot Software, Inc

Webroot's award winning "Spy Sweeper" is an unsurpassed, first-class, spyware protection program that detects and removes these malicious threats. But what are these threats, where do they originate, and how are they detected and removed? Richard Stiennon is responsible for Webroot's research task forces to root out and define the next level of malicious software and attacks, and he will explain how this is done.

Before joining Webroot Mr. Stiennon was VP Research at Gartner Inc. where he covered security topics including firewalls, intrusion detection, intrusion prevention, security consulting and managed security services for the Security and Privacy group. With more than 20 years of experience, he also wrote industry best practices for Internet and firewall security.

His presentation will include:
