Paul Ducklin, Head of Technology for Asia Pacific
Sophos, a world leader in IT security and control, announced
that Paul Ducklin,
Head of Technology for Asia Pacific and based in Australia, will
discuss how malware really works and will demonstrate a malware
attack in motion on Thursday, June 21, 2007 at 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM
PDT in Santa Clara, California at the Convention Center.
Ducklin's lecture, "Live Malware Attack!" will feature a live -
but entirely self-contained, and therefore safe! - demonstration of
a modern malware attack in action. Attendees will gain insight into
how cybercriminals think and operate, and learn how to better
defend their networks against them. The talk will also examine
tricks and techniques that can be used in a malware research lab to
get even a complex and heavily obfuscated piece of malware to
reveal its secrets in a safe environment.
Ducklin is considered one of the world's leading virus experts
and has presented at various industry events including: Virus
Bulletin, ICSA and AVAR conferences. He has also written several
articles on the virus threat and is a respected industry
spokesperson.
