It's not news that threats are growing across the IT security landscape. Today's malware imposes significant business risks due to the highly organized nature of attacks - applications, web sites and social networks are all subject to attacks and vulnerabilities. Hackers are highly organized professionals with vast networks who are able to precisely target an unsuspecting victim, including many small businesses and their employees. Users may not even realize his/her machine has been compromised for days, weeks or even months due to the nature of these attacks. During this talk, Mark Villinski will examine what this means for business owners and what IT managers need to look for to stay on top of these threats. Kaspersky will also be giving away a $50 Gift Card from Best Buy so we encourage you to attend and please bring your business cards.
