The Security Standard casts a light on organized cyber-crime

Register NOW to reserve your seat - space is limited. Dear Security, To what degree does organized cyber-crime put your organization at risk? As the FBI's Dan Larkin (one of the pioneers of partnerships for the FBI's Cyber Division) can tell you, it's more than you think. No longer the same cliché depicted in movies or an Emmy winning drama, organized crime has reached the 21st century in full force. In fact, "85 percent of malware today is created with profit in mind... and only 5 percent of cyber criminals are caught and prosecuted." These statistics, cited in a 2006 Business Week article, allude to the growing force of a multinational group of hackers backed by organized crime. Do you know what new threats these groups are launching? Now, more than ever, you need to know how at-risk your enterprise is from organized cyber-crime. The Security Standard's keynote presentation will give you the insight you need to identify and mitigate the risks associated with organized cyber-crime today and in the future. A Lengthening Shadow: The Growing Influence of Organized Crime on Cyber-Security In this year's keynote presentation, a top FBI investigator will evaluate the landscape of organized computer crime and explain what you need to do to protect your organization. Dan Larkin, one of the pioneers of partnerships for the FBI's Cyber Division, will outline the measures necessary for you to effectively respond to the growing exploitation of the Internet by organized criminals. Key topics will include: What is the magnitude of the organized cyber-crime threat? What activities are most attractive to cyber criminals? Where are you most at-risk? How can partnerships among law enforcement, the FBI, and corporations mitigate these risks? Visit TheSecurityStandard.net to learn more and to apply for your complimentary registration*.
