HERNDON, VA – June 3, 2009 – NetWitness Corporation, the leading provider of next generation network monitoring and threat analysis solutions, today announced that its security experts will lead presentations at four upcoming industry conferences in the United States, Portugal, Estonia and Canada. During the month of June, NetWitness’ senior executives will present at the Government Technology Research Alliance (GTRA) Symposium, the 6th Annual Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) Executive Summit & Roundtable, the Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCD COE) Conference on Cyber Warfare and the World Conference on Disaster Management (WCDM).
On Sunday, June 7th at 4:45 p.m. ET, NetWitness’ Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Tim Belcher, will present on “Combating Advanced CyberSecurity Threats” at the GTRA Symposium located at The Homestead Resort in Hot Springs, Va. Using several sample cases obtained from actual U.S. government (USG) security incidents, Mr. Belcher will discuss how to discover advanced threats and designer malware that often remain undetected by many USG agencies today, how to understand the impact of inappropriate network traffic, and how to combat nation-sponsored, insider threats and organized crime attacks.
On Friday, June 12th at 10:00 a.m. GMT, Eddie Schwartz, Chief Security Officer (CSO) for NetWitness, will lead a panel discussion on “IT Risk Metrics: What’s Wrong With Them & What Needs to Be Fixed to Make Them Work” at the 6th Annual CISO Executive Summit & Roundtable 2009 being held at the Marriott hotel in Lisbon, Portugal. During this session, Mr. Schwartz will facilitate a roundtable discussion on the pitfalls of current IT risk metrics and practical solutions to address advanced threats to multinational organizations. NetWitness is also a lead sponsor for this event.
On Wednesday, June 17th at 10:00 a.m. EET, NetWitness’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Amit Yoran, will present on “Removing the Uncertainty and Doubt (but not the Fear) from Information Risk Management” at NATO’s Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCD COE) Conference on Cyber Warfare hosted at the Estonian National Opera in Tallinn, Estonia. In this session, Mr. Yoran will discuss why current IT security models and risk metrics are broken and the problems with current approaches to the strategic crisis of international cybersecurity failure.
On Wednesday, June 24th at 11:00 a.m. ET, Mr. Yoran will present at the World Conference on Disaster Management (WCDM) in Toronto, Canada, on the critical importance of improving IT risk metrics within public and private organizations. In today’s world, “unnatural disasters” such as nation-sponsored and organized crime attacks and insider threats are far more likely to cause disruptive downtime and damage to vital IT assets than natural events. In this session, Mr. Yoran will describe the problems with current IT risk models and what disaster management professionals must know in order to plan for IT resilience and optimal business continuity in today’s cyber threat landscape. WCDM is one of the largest annual international conferences on disaster management attended by over 2000 delegates from Canada and the US and over 40 countries around the world.
