Top IT Security Threats: How to Protect Your Users from Increasingly Sophisticated Attacks

Overview:

High-profile data breaches frequent the headlines, with countless smaller incidents happening almost daily. Your data is under attack, and the frequency of assaults and sophistication of the methods employed are increasing. Rather than targeting the network directly, hackers often exploit the most vulnerable part of your security ecosystem - your users.

Join this on-demand TechRepublic Webcast, moderated by James Hilliard and featuring guest speakers from PhoneFactor Inc., Steve Dispensa, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer and Sarah Fender, Vice President of Marketing & Product Management. They will discuss the top IT security threats that your users (and therefore, your data) face, including targeted phishing, malware, and man-in-the-middle attacks, and how out of band, two-factor authentication can help protect your company's proprietary corporate and customer data. It also introduces PhoneFactor, a phone-based authentication service that leverages an out-of-band phone call as a second factor of authentication.

Topics to include:

• Why and how users are being targeted
• Top threats, including new trends and methodologies
• Established vulnerabilities that are continually going unaddressed
• The role of out of band, two-factor authentication in preventing attacks
