Public Sector Malware Threats circa 2012: Weighing the Impact, Minimizing Risks
Wed, February 15th, 2012 at 2:00pm EST
With government institutions increasingly in the cybersecurity crosshairs, the need for greater protection against known, unknown and emerging threats has soared, along with requirements to leverage strategies that can mitigate risks and prevent successful intrusions. The ever-growing malware threat, for example, is driving federal agencies to investigate solutions that can detect and protect online web and social media environments, including blocking inbound malware and analyzing outbound traffic to detect compromised endpoints. And if that weren’t enough, hackers have even learned how to exploit user trust by masquerading as social networking friends, business associates, or trusted acquaintances – spreading millions of new strains of malware in recent months.
