| Join us for this educational Webcast; listen to keynotes from Peter Firstbrook, Research Director of Gartner and Jim Reavis, Founder and Executive Director of Cloud Security Alliance (CSA). Learn about getting comprehensive Web 2.0 security within your URL filtering or proxy appliance budget. |
| URL Filtering is not enough |
| URL filtering has become a standard control within most enterprises to enforce policy for Internet-bound traffic. However, with Web 2.0, as active and user generated content becomes the norm, static URL databases are of limited effectiveness. |
| Active Content is exploited for new threats – botnets, malicious content, XSS, P2P and more |
| Active web content such as Flash and Javascript is useful but it can be malicious. Botnets and P2P pose many threats. Employees publishing inappropriate or confidential content on blogs and social networks can cause data leakage and create liability. Road warriors further exacerbate this problem—their access to the Internet often bypasses all security controls. |
| Learn how to tackle Web 2.0 challenges in today’s tough economic environment |
| In today’s business environment, security and network administrators are expected to tackle these growing problems within a tighter budget. The plethora of point appliances that are overwhelming to manage are not helping to address these new challenges. |
| Join us for a keynote from Peter Firstbrook, Research Director at Gartner to understand newer challenges and defenses. |
