2012 Guide to Security Strategies – GFI-Sponsored Webcast
July 31, 2012 – Time: 9:00AM PDT / 12:00PM EDT / 5:00PM BST / 6:00PM CEST
There’s an old saying: “Just because you’re paranoid, that doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.” In the cybercrime world, that saying could be, “Whether you’re paranoid or not, they are out to get you (or at least your money).”
The statistics on cybercrime and cyber-attacks are sobering. In a recent study, 44% of companies reported their networks had been breached. Even more disturbing was that 6% of survey respondents didn’t have any idea whether or not they’d been invaded. Another study put the cost of a single cyber-attack at $2.5 million. Whether they know it or not, nearly all companies have been at the receiving end of one sort of cyber-attack or another.
In order to protect your bottom line, you have to protect your business from cybercriminals. With the prevalence of mobile devices, new forms of attack, and a growing number of criminals, protecting a small or medium-sized business in 2012 can be challenging – but it is possible.
CBS Interactive is proud to present 2012 Guide to Security Strategies, a live and interactive webcast about how you can protect your business from the inevitable assaults to your network and to your bottom line.
- Learn about the new techniques criminals are using to get inside your network (and your bank account)
- Discover which new technologies and tools will keep attackers and criminals at bay
- Explore a tangible set of actions to implement to help keep your company safe

Everyone should tune in for the SLCC cast, as that’s a very interesting story and should be a cautionary tale and a guide to deal with an attack in progress. I’m really look forward to hearing the story from the perspective of somebody caught in the middle of the IT side of a Conficker infection.
