“Emerging Cyber Security Threats”

Overview: As reported in the 2008 Internet Crime Report from the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), financial gain will continue to be the primary motive behind future cybercrime, whether targeting traditional computing platforms or mobile applications and networks.  This presentation will outline emerging cyber threats targeting various industries, as well as the evolution of our adversaries and the motivations behind these attacks. Included will be a healthy discussion on how technology, regulation and user education can work together for the good of global information security.
