TOPIC           Cyber Security - Real World Threats

DESCRIPTION     Network attacks are increasing in number and
                complexity everyday. However, five years after the
                initial flurry of network attacks, the greatest threat
                still remains from relatively unsophisticated,
                brute-force DDoS attacks. Until network operators
                realize the necessity for forensic tools to detect and
                trace these attacks, the proliferation of bots and
                their many uses will continue to evolve at a
                phenomenal pace. McPherson will discuss key findings
                from a research survey conducted by Arbor Networks
                which illustrates what the real world concerns and
                threats are including DDoS, fast-spreading worms, BGP
                route hijacking, and compromised infrastructure
                network devices. He will explain how to mitigate these
                attacks by deploying tools that provide a real-time
                network-wide view of traffic and routing data to
                proactively detect and trace network-wide anomalies.
                He will also focus on how coordination and
                communication within the global network operations
                community are critical to defeating attackers,
                regardless of the technology they use.
