Entrust Addresses Global Border Security, Advanced Malware at First INTERPOL Information Security Conference (IISC)

DALLAS, Sept. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- In the first global conference co-hosted by INTERPOL and the Hong Kong Police, Entrust, Inc. today will address the importance of emerging solutions that help address critical border security challenges and defend against advanced malware attacks.

The inaugural event, to be held in Hong Kong today through Sept. 17, will outline the proven solutions required to properly secure border checkpoints, as well as what changes need to be made to protect financial institutions from malicious man-in-the-browser malware.

"Two of the globe's biggest threats center around border security and large-scale online fraud," said Entrust President and CEO Bill Conner. "And while they affect different audiences, it's important for law enforcement agencies to be properly armed with the tools, ideas and strategies to properly fight all methods of identity theft, online fraud and other nefarious crimes."

Entrust director of product management Mark Joynes will present on behalf of Entrust. Joynes' presentation, "Strong Identity as the Foundation of Critical Infrastructure Protection," will center on strength of identity and the need for identity-based security for preparedness, detection and response to cyber- and critical-infrastructure protection.
