Waltham, Mass., August 1, 2011 -- Bit9 Inc., the market leader in application whitelisting, announced today that it will be presenting and exhibiting at several of the upcoming Data Connectors Tech-Security Conferences. Jessica Couto, director of business development, will discuss how hackers are circumventing today's traditional security postures with targeted attacks and spear phishing tactics, as well as steps to better protect companies from becoming another security breach statistic.
As spear phishing continues to make headline news, it has been discovered that this is the most commonly used technique in recent cyber-attacks. Hackers are using advanced threats by targeting users through email, websites, social media tools, instant messenger and USB devices. Since blacklisting and anti-virus programs have routinely proven to be ineffective in stopping these attacks, Couto suggests application whitelisting as a superior security measure, uniquely suited to prevent targeted attacks. In her sessions, attendees will learn how these threats work, as well as the most impactful measures organizations and individuals can take to prevent these targeted cyber-attacks from taking hold. Couto's session schedule at Data Connectors Tech-Security Conferences include:
