IT security and control firm Sophos today announced that Mark
Harris, global director of SophosLabs™, will take a closer look at
Conficker,
one of the most troubling worms of the year. The webcast is
scheduled for Thursday, June 25 at 9:00am ET.
Microsoft quickly issued a patch while security vendors provided
protection against the worm that exploited the vulnerability, yet
the worm spread like wildfire, infecting millions of computers.
This webcast will explore why it happened and how businesses can
prevent it from happening again.
Mark Harris is director of SophosLabs and leads a team of staff
based in the UK, the US, Australia, and Canada, providing 24/7
protection against malware, spam and web threats for Sophos
customers. He also manages proactive technology development,
including Sophos's proactive Behavioral Genotype® Protection
technology, which uses forensic analysis to identify suspicious
patterns and characteristics unique to either a virus family or a
spam campaign.
Harris has more than 20 years' software engineering experience
and nearly 12 years' experience in software security, having spent
10 years at McAfee in a variety of roles, including Chief Software
Architect and Engineering Director. Harris regularly contributes to
the SophosLabs blog, which provides round-the-clock information
about newly discovered threats encountered by Sophos's worldwide
network of analysts.
