Evolving Threats, Innovative Responses - How to Effectively Combat Spear-Phishing & Data Leaks

Presented by Proofpoint, Inc. 60 Minutes

Targeted email attacks represent one of the most significant IT threats facing healthcare and financial services today from a data security perspective. Many of the large, widely publicized data breaches in recent years have started with a single, carefully crafted and personalized email that tricked the targeted recipient and ultimately resulted in malware infections or exposure of their login credentials which was followed by data theft or other damage. These attacks are highly-targeted and seemingly innocent to traditional reputation, content scanning and sender verification techniques used today. Enterprises have no method, tool, or process to detect or effectively manage such attacks until it is too late.

Background

Healthcare and financial service organizations have volumes of sensitive data making them prone to an ever-broadening range of IT security threats: from basic annoyances such as auto-emailed viruses, to targeted social network informed phishing-style attacks that trick employees into giving up private credentials or clicking on dangerous links that install polymorphic malware. New approaches to threat detection and remediation have become necessary for organizations that are at risk.

Join this webcast for a lively discussion on what companies can do to spot and respond to targeted attacks. We will touch on topics including: the anatomy of a targeted attack, Big Data Phish-finding, Anomalytics, Sandboxing, Follow-Me Protection, and Defense beyond the gateway.
