Lumension Debates 2012 Endpoint Security Trends
Webcast will outline security threats organizations need to be prepared for next year and discuss how they can better protect themselves from evolving threats
Scottsdale, AZ, Dec. 5, 2011
Over the last year corporations once again saw the volume and sophistication of malware dramatically increase. In fact, in a recent
Ponemon survey, 66 percent of IT professionals surveyed said their networks are no more secure than they were last year – a frightening statistic given how rapidly malware is continuing to spread and grow in complexity. This rising threat level is what inspired
Lumension, a global leader in endpoint management and security, to consult leading security experts regarding their views on what’s next for cybersecurity in 2012.
Discussing their views in a 2012 prediction podcast is Lumension’s own Pat Clawson, chairman and CEO, and Paul Henry, security and forensic analyst, along with Randy Franklin Smith, founder and president of
Monterey Technology Group and author of the
Ultimate Windows Security Blog. Eric Ogren, founder and principal analyst of the
Ogren Group, will host the discussion and will engage Clawson, Henry and Smith regarding the trends they foresee in the realm of cybersecurity in 2012. Specifically, they will examine:
- The virtual enterprise – how hardware and physical security strategies are ineffective in this environment
- Cloud insecurity
- Escalating numbers of mobile device hacks, resulting in costly breaches
- The need for a SSL infrastructure overhaul
- IPV6 concerns
“As an endpoint security provider, we hope to give IT administrators and the general public insight into what the future might bring, so that they can best prepare for next year’s IT security landscape,” said Pat Clawson, chairman and CEO, Lumension. “It’s no surprise securing endpoints will only become more challenging in 2012 as the number of endpoints continues to grow with the explosion of mobile devices and as threats continue to become harder to detect and increasingly damaging.”
