NPI Announces Kaspersky Antivirus Seminar at the Hampton Inn in Colchester on October 27th
Burlington, VT – October 1, 2009
Limiting Exposure and Risks from Online Attacks
Is there a hacker in your Facebook? Join us for this free and informative security seminar. Social networking has silently invaded the workplace. Dennis Fisher, Threatpost.com editor-in-chief and Kaspersky security evangelist will dissect the risk from social networks like Facebook and MySpace, show how a drive-by malware download can occur via Web browsers and the scary rise in fraudware (fake security applications). Dennis will give a bird's eye view of malware growth over the last three years and discuss the state of lax security on the Windows ecosystem and how this makes it easy for hackers to use viruses, Trojans, rootkits and spyware to hijack sensitive data - from corporate secrets to consumer identities. Does your organization have a Facebook or MySpace group, twitter microsite, blog? Are staff Facebooking and tweeting on the network or a remote device that connects to the network? Learn how to keep ahead of this emerging risk.
