The Threat of Modern Day Malware – Not your Mother’s Cybercriminals:

The seemingly daily reports of new high-profile and sophisticated network breaches is proof that the game has changed in IT security.

Modern hackers have adopted new techniques and strategies that are driving right through the traditional security point solutions in the market. This requires a new approach to the ways that we think about and control modern malware and threats.

Join us for this session to hear directly from Palo Alto Networks' visionary CTO, Nir Zuk on how modern malware has changed, the changes we are going to see in the technology that we use to protect our networks in the near future.
