"The significance and sophistication of computer security threats is growing with each passing year," said Tom Cross, director of security research for Lancope. "Today's enterprises have to worry not only about widespread malware attacks and hacktivism, but also more stealthy, targeted attacks from various parties including unfriendly nation states and corrupt insiders."

In the midst of constantly evolving attackers, motives and techniques, enterprises are requiring more than the standard defense mechanisms of firewalls, antivirus and IDS/IPS. Join this webinar to learn about next-generation techniques and tools such as NetFlow that can significantly improve network security, reliability and integrity without maxing out IT budgets:

Webinar attendees will learn how to cost-effectively obtain the end-to-end network visibility and protection needed to remain a step ahead of online attackers. Cross will address questions such as:

• Who are the different groups trying to break into enterprise networks?
• How do they go about breaking in?
• What are their goals?
• What types of strategies are appropriate for combating them?

Discover best practices for effectively addressing: Hacktivism, Insider Threats, Botnets and Malware, Organized Crime and the Advanced Persistent Threat (APT).
