Description:
Much has been made of the IT security threats that Web 2.0 and, in particular, social networking sites such as Bebo, Facebook and MySpace pose company IT resources of all sizes.

The risks of opening IP sessions to these sites stem from the fact that there is no definitive method of working out how a malicious Web site differs from a legitimate one. The issues are made worse because Web 2.0 applications, such as blogs, wiki’s and social networking sites, allow users to post executables in
chat sessions and other areas.

Just to make life interesting, outbound threats such as these aren’t always intentional - sometimes they are purely accidental. If left unchecked, these applications can trigger unintentional data leakages, which in turn can cause intellectual property loss or violate compliance regulations.

This Webinar will:

• Explain the methodology IT security vendors are taking when tackling multivectored attack profiles of today's malware
• Detail how criminal elements have taken over what used to be a relatively altruistic - if mischievous - hacker community
• Examine key issues impacting the increasingly de-perimeterised modern world of IP communications
• Report on key requirements for building a highly secure architecture capable of supporting corporate and mobile workers in modern networked public/private IP environments
