    Network with your industry peers while we share with you cutting-edge information about the latest Web 2.0 security threats. This is an informative session designed for you and the threats you face today including malware, phishing, spyware and blended threats. You will leave this session with a clear vision and plan with which to neutralize the threats that face your organization today, as well as learn ways to protect your Web infrastructure from the threats of tomorrow.

And this is why you need to ensure use of Web 2.0 applications (such as Blogs, Wikis, and social networking) are not leaving your organization defenseless against a host of blended threats and multiple attack vectors.

    • Discover your Web, network and messaging areas of vulnerability (that may pre-date Web 2.0 threats).
    • Connect with peers and colleagues to discuss common security challenges and best practices for implementing blended defenses.
    • Walk through a demonstration to discover what tools can further help you protect your network infrastructure from Web 2.0 threats.
