The Next Class of Browser-Based Attacks

Second, while some go after specific targets, many opt to aim their tactics on vectors that will reap the greatest rewards. After all, a big pond with many fish read more…

There are two distinct characteristics that all threat actors tend to share. First, they focus on avoiding detection by any means. Second, while some go after specific targets, many opt to aim their tactics on vectors that will reap the greatest rewards. After all, a big pond with many fish increases everyone’s chances at success.
Today, given that a majority of business users spend 75% of their working day in a web browser, it’s quickly become the prime target for cyber swindlers. While malware once had to be downloaded to pose a real risk, now, it’s a dynamically generated threat toolkit built in the web where employees are productive.
During this insightful discussion, prepare to learn about the next class of browser-based attacks, but most importantly, share how organizations can protect that productivity. Key takeaways include:

  • The anatomy of recent browser-based attacks
  • Exposing why network security today is broken
  • The technology approach proven to eliminate these threats
