Panda Security Seminar Planned for New Year

In-depth assessment of the issues around online fraud in Internet transactions

December 11, 2007

Panda Security is hosting a Security Seminar in January aimed at delivering a detailed assessment of the evolving threat landscape and the impact of malware on business today.

The one-day event will be held at The London Stock Exchange on Friday January 25th 2008, and is aimed at senior IT professionals, Risk Managers and eCommerce Managers in corporate organisations throughout the UK.

Analysis will be provided by Andrew Jaquith at The Yankee Group on the ‘malware paradox: perception vs. reality’ and the seminar will also hear commentary from Panda’s own senior research advisor, Pedro Bustamente on how solutions are being created to address the key issues. Subjects for discussion will include what motivates cyber criminals; just how far the silent malware epidemic reaches; the techniques used in cyber crime; and details of infection ratios in protected systems.

Dominic Hoskins, Country Manager at Panda UK, said: “In the last fortnight alone two major security alerts have dominated national and international headlines, putting computer security at the very top of the agenda. Delegates to the Panda Security Seminar can expect to come away with a very clear understanding of the current situation relating to Internet threats, and more importantly, the means with which to prevent and combat these ever increasing threats to business.”

Delegate places are being offered free of charge on a strictly limited basis, but organisations that rely at any level on online monetary transactions, Internet banking or other online communication where private and confidential data is transferred should contact Panda for more information at http://www.saferdigitalworld.com/.
