Mark Harris, global director of SophosLabs™, will be presenting at
the seminar in Stockholm
Sophos, a world leader in protecting businesses against computer
threats, today announced that Mark Harris, global director of
SophosLabs™, will be
presenting at the "Malware - Virus, spyware and rootkits" seminar
in Stockholm, Sweden on Tuesday 20 June.
Harris's presentation, entitled "Modern Malware - Staying under
the radar", discusses how malware and spam is becoming increasingly
targeted, with hackers making lower-profiled attacks in order to
keep out of the news headlines.
Harris will also discuss future threats, including security
issues revolving around the areas of mobile phones, VOIP and
instant messaging.
"Organized cybercriminals are using sophisticated methods to
increase their chances of stealing money from innocent users," said
Harris. "It's important to understand how modern hackers and
spammers operate in order to effectively protect against them."
Harris leads SophosLabs™, Sophos's global network of virus,
spyware and spam analysis centers, developing round-the-clock
protection in order to ensure customers' networks automatically
detect and block new threats. He also manages proactive technology
development, including Sophos's Genotype detection technology,
which uses forensic analysis to identify suspicious patterns and
characteristics unique to either a virus family or a spam campaign.
By analysing these Genotype patterns, Sophos reduces exposure to
new unidentified threats and unwanted content.
