Cyber-Criminology and the Defense Against It
This presentation covers current events in cyber-criminology, and the impact that this has on today's enterprise networks, as well as future looking changes and potential impact. We will explore the various types of cyber-criminals, their motives, philosophies and vectors of attack. This presentation will also cover rootkit technology, and provide a basic overview and discussion of what these really are, how they impact the enterprise and ways to mitigate this threat. Finally, we will cover host and network based intrusion prevention technology. This will include the distinctions between the two, key points to consider before acquiring these solutions, key points to consider before a deployment, and best practices in production.
