Malware authors are targeting smaller numbers of victims in attempts to sneak under the radar, and they're turning away from email-aware worms to other methods of infection like "ransomware"—holding users' files captive until demands for money are met! What are malware authors planning next?
With his access to tens of thousands of monitoring stations and analysis centers around the globe, Mark Harris, Global Director of SophosLabs, will discuss how modern malware is composed to provide a glimpse into what you can expect with the next generation of threats.
Hosted by James Hilliard of TechRepublic and featuring live Q&A, this Webcast will address these important topics and more:
- The top malware threats of 2006
- What to expect with the next generation of malware
- Best practices in threat protection
