Event Details

Michael J. Steinhart - Senior Editor - Ziff Davis Enterprise

Thomas Chimento - Senior Product Manager, Web Security Service, Webroot
We all have mobile/remote users.
Most of us have multiple locations to manage.
All of us want: Airtight security, unbeatable TCO, an easy-to-use management console.

Late January, there was zero-day vulnerability/attack against MS Internet Explorer. While other security vendors were scrambling to address the issue, Webroot sat back and watched their proprietary Javascript heuristics technology do its thing protecting all their customers. Issues like this occur frequently, and if you have an on-premise security appliance, you have to deal with security patches, software upgrades, OS patches and upgrades, hardware updates, and more—every day. And that’s without worrying about how to protect your mobile users! There has to be a better way.

Web security delivered as a service is your path to relief.

Join us on February 24th at 1:00 p.m. (Eastern) for a live eSeminar, where you’ll hear from Dr. Thomas Chimento, Product Manager for Web Security at Webroot, who will discuss how on-premise appliances are not up to the challenge of protecting today’s mobile workforce and multiple business and retail locations. You’ll learn:
- Some of the advanced proprietary tools Webroot uses in their Web security service
- Why appliance management for your various locations is simply not efficient
- How SaaS protects mobile users with seamless and transparent authentication
- How Internet policies for all users can be enforced easily and how their activity can be monitored and reported
As a bonus, all attendees will receive "How bad are the bad guys?" by the analyst firm FreeForm Dynamics. This in-depth paper describes the changing nature of Web security threats and considers the ways in which Web-based attacks are evolving to target mobile users and exploit all forms of remote access and new entry points like social media sites.
