The Bad Guys Are Winning, So Now What?
Thursday, April 15, 2010
11:30 AM EDT

With the continual release of zero-day exploits, ever-larger-scale botnets, and rampant spyware, attackers have compromised tens of millions of machines connected to the Internet. With clever attackers mixing social engineering, physical attacks, and phishing into their bag of tricks, their rate of successful penetration is both astounding and depressing. A central thesis of this talk is that a sufficiently determined (but not necessarily well-funded) attacker can compromise almost any organization with an Internet connection. The discussion will first analyze why this is so. We'll then look at the implications of such an environment for enterprises. How should information security priorities shift in light of this evolving threatscape and attack surface? What are the implications for system administrators, incident response teams, and even penetration testers? We'll also briefly look beyond the enterprise, and consider the military and national security issues associated with emerging threats and attacks.

This is awesome I wish this would happen more often. The only thing that makes it hard is the time of day it's going on. I wont be able to get away from work at that time to watch. If we register is there something that will allow us to view it at a later time? If so then I will be signing up.

Yes, all vLive! classes (long or short) are recorded and can be accessed for six months via your SANS portal account.

It might also be worth noting that this is worth 2 CPEs, if anyone needs them!

Thanks for that. I skipped over it because I would be on-site with a client at that time, but I'm signed up now!

For those who attended, what did you think? Did you like the vLive format? For those that have seen Ed live and in person, how did it compare? Any other feedback?
