SESSION TITLE

The State of Messaging Security: Defenses are Getting Stronger as Evil Doers Morph

SCHEDULE
Check In:
11:30 am - 12:00 p.m.
Session:
12:00 pm - 1:30 p.m.

 

DESCRIPTION

The state of messaging security is strong, as the security industry has made the environment a difficult one for spammers and propagators of malware, who are always looking for ways to derive revenue from their efforts. But the industry must not get complacent, as spammers are already capitalizing on messaging standards that present new opportunities.

In this presentation, a CipherTrust representative will discuss the messaging security threats and security best practices, as it relates to the type of threats being promulgated, techniques to identify and block those threats, and how to select, measure and report on the key performance indicators of that security system.  Within this context, the presentation will cover: 

  1. Spam, malware and the rise of the Zombie. Within the messaging security universe, a zombie can appear and send thousands of messages to companies, infecting users with viruses that can cripple enterprise systems—all within just a few short hours. And despite the effectiveness of messaging security defenses, spam represents 80-percent of all e-mail, according to CipherTrust research. Spammers are also using even more insidious tactics to derive revenue, such as phishing. They are also constantly improving their techniques to evade defenses.  CipherTrust will outline the most recent techniques and how to stop them.
  2. Instant messaging is next. Spammers assault on instant messaging has begun. The first spam message was sent on May 3, 1978, and the first SPIM message was sent in late 1997. February 2004 saw the first mass-spreading IM worm (Bizex). Comprehensive messaging security must include a plan for IM security.
