TITLE: The International Intelligence Summit 2006
WHO: Sunil James, Product Manager, Arbor Networks
WHEN: Saturday, February 18, 2006
3:00 - 3:45 p.m. (EST)
WHERE: Hyatt Regency Crystal City Hotel
Arlington, Virginia USA
WHAT: James will present in the session, "The Changing Internet
Ecology: Employing Behavioral Anomaly Detection to
Identify and Thwart New Infrastructure Security Threats."
During this session, James will discuss:
-- The variety of threats facing today's infrastructures,
ranging from botnets and phishing attacks to remote
access applications and malicious code;
-- The types of network behaviors exhibited by each of
these threats; and
-- How behavioral anomaly detection techniques, which
correlate distinct behaviors, can be employed to
ensure accurate and effective threat identification
and mitigation.
ABOUT ARBOR NETWORKS: Arbor Networks ensures the security and operational integrity of the world's most critical networks. Arbor's solutions are based on the proven Peakflow platform, intelligent technology for network-wide data collection, analysis, anomaly detection An approach to intrusion detection that establishes a baseline model of behavior for users and components in a computer system or network. Deviations from the baseline cause alerts that direct the attention of human operators to the anomalies. See IDS and anomaly. , and threat mitigation MITIGATION. To make less rigorous or penal. 2.

ABOUT THE INTELLIGENCE SUMMIT: The International Intelligence Summit is a non-partisan, non-profit, neutral forum that uses private charitable funds to bring together for the first time the intelligence agencies of the free world and the emerging democracies. The purpose of The Summit is to provide an opportunity for the international intelligence community to listen to and learn from each other, and to share ideas in the common war against terrorism. The Summit's Advisory Council includes Generals, former senior FBI official, former senior Mossad officer, and the former Chair of British Joint Intelligence Committee.
