As a constantly evolving technology, malware is becoming more sophisticated, moving from nuisance attacks to a service-based economy. Amazingly, malware has progressed from piggybacking on data exchanged when users browse the Web to an outright business model where high-bidders gain direct access to an infected computer and the personal information inside.
So why is this happening now, who’s behind it and what tactics are they employing? Is this simply the cost of doing business online? Or are there security precautions you can take to safeguard against this new wave in Internet crime?
View the archived session, “Malware as a Service: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Next Wave in Internet Crime,” featuring Scott Berinato, senior editor at CSO Magazine, Crossbeam Systems and Trend Micro.
Berinato will introduce us to the service-based concept and describe what he uncovered – 76service, iFraming, etc. – during his experience following an elite group of hacker trackers. You’ll get an insider’s look at the latest techniques of rapid Web site migrations and learn how hackers are using software as a service in the pursuit of massive profits. In addition, Berinato will provide an update on what’s been happening since he first reported his findings.
This session will wrap-up with a brief look at some of the newer and equally dynamic mitigation techniques that Trend Micro has developed and how these methods scale when integrated into a Crossbeam next generation content gateway. The discussion will be led by Throop Wilder, co-founder of Crossbeam and Scott Clinton, director of alliances at Trend Micro.
