The bad guys just keep getting better!

No matter how much patching and tweaking we do, the bad guys’ constantly changing tactics and techniques continue harming our networks, stealing and damaging data, and just generally screw things up.

• What motivates someone to do such terrible things in the first place?
• How have these hackers changed and improved?
• What kinds of attacks are popular now and why?

In this hour-long webinar, security expert, former hacker and Global Knowledge instructor Phillip D. Shade will provide insight into understanding the latest hacking techniques, what the current threat landscape looks like, and suggested countermeasures to mitigate threats.

Phillip will include specific examples of the current threat landscape, including data mining, social engineering cyber threat terminology, man-in-the- middle attacks and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.
