The New Frontier: Why Traditional, Signature Based Defenses Don't Work


Despite bold claims and billions of dollars invested, legacy protections like traditional and next-generation firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, anti-virus, and Web gateways no longer stop advanced malware or targeted APT attacks. These systems rely too heavily on signatures, known patterns of misbehavior, and reputation to be effective at accurately identifying and blocking advanced targeted attacks. This leaves a gaping hole in network defenses that remain vulnerable to today's new breed of cyber-attacks.

During this webcast, our speakers, Nicholas J. Percoco and Joshua Goldfarb, will review:

  • How traditional technology has been victimized and bypassed by today's cyber attacks
  • How you can stay ahead of todays sophisticated, targeted, persistent threats
  • The integration of Rapid7 UserInsight with FireEye Threat Analytics Platform™

The webcast consists of a presentation and time for questions. As an attendee of this webcast, you’re eligible for 1 CPE credit.
