In a recent SearchSecurity online survey, 51% of security professionals were “highly concerned” about rootkits; 47% were “highly concerned” about buffer overflows. Overall, greater than 90% of respondents expressed some level of concern with these types of threats.

However, the importance of mitigating the threat from Rootkits and Buffer Overflows is among the most compelling tasks for security professionals. Most malware is simply a distraction. Then there are more dangerous and advanced threats that are the choice of today’s professional cyber-criminals—rootkits, buffer-overflows, and other sophisticated attacks. These are where the real threats to your organization will emanate from.

Most companies are not prepared to deal with these previously undetectable programs and attack surfaces, as they often require new approaches and new tools as part of the IT security arsenal. This eSeminar will provide you with a clear approach to a solution using new security technologies.

Using a kernel-level application whitelisting solution may well be the answer for you. In the SearchSecurity survey, 92% of security professionals polled felt that a kernel-level application whitelisting solution could help combat rootkits and buffer overflows. Learn how this new approach can provide important protection for your organization.

Featuring Dan Teal, an industry luminary and the founder & CTO of CoreTrace, this webinar describes the threats and outlines that very solution. The webinar will cover:
- Cyber-criminal and Threat Ecosystem—in terms of how it affects the average company
- Rootkits, Buffer Overflows and other Sophisticated Attacks—how they work, and what they try to do
