Speaker: Mr David Love, Head of Security TAG at Computer Associates
Whilst companies selling point solutions are good at describing the particular threat against that which they are targeted, a consolidated view of the overall threat picture is rarely adequately depicted.
The presentation will describe the various threat areas ranging from individual hackers, through commercial electronic espionage to state sponsored commercial espionage. The expanding utilization of IT by organized crime will also be covered. Given the increasingly sophisticated nature of tools available to attack IT systems, pointers to the future of IT protection will be extrapolated
