Information Security Threats, Trends, and Challenges
Patrick Foxhoven, Chief Information Officer, CentraComm
In this presentation, Patrick will review information security threats, trends and future challenges as observed by him in his role as CIO of a managed security services provider. While there has been a sharp decrease in the number of public vulnerabilities disclosed there has been an explosion of malicious software (malware) and it continues to grow exponentially every year. This presentation will also touch on the reality that highly visible worldwide epidemics in information security are gone and the real threats today have a very low visibility and are even more malicious. Botnets, data breaches, an overview of the real organizations behind the threats and the specific attack vectors are also covered in detail.
