/PRNewswire/ -- Bit9, the global leader in advanced
threat protection, will host a webcast entitled, "The Future of Cyber Espionage:
Don't Get Burned by 'Flame" and Other Advanced Persistent Threats," on

. Bit9 is the only IT security company to
report that its technology successfully stopped what experts are calling the
most sophisticated malware ever discovered, Flame. The webcast will feature
Harry Sverdlove, Bit9's chief technology officer, who draws from nearly two
decades of application design and analysis with industry-leading IT enterprises.
During an eight-month custom persistent attack on one of its customers Bit9's
technology prevented Flame from running and executing on the customer's
endpoints, laptops and servers. At this time, Bit9 is the only company to have
reported that it prevented Flame from successfully executing an attack.
Additionally, Iran's CERT team has revealed that 43 tested antivirus (AV)
solutions failed to prevent the attack. The Flame attack is now notorious for
exposing the failure of AV companies as evident by a recent open letter from
Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer of F-Secure. In his letter on failing to
detect Flame, Hypponen writes, "What this means is that all of us had missed
detecting this malware for two years, or more. That's a spectacular failure for
our company and for the antivirus industry in general."
Attend this webinar to learn more about Flame, other advanced persistent
threats, and what you can do to protect your organisation.

What:
Webcast: The Future of Cyber Espionage: Don't Get Burned by 'Flame" and Other Advanced Persistent Threats
During an eight-month period that began in Autumn 2011 and stretched into
Spring 2012, a Bit9 customer was consistently attacked by the Flame malware.
However, thanks to Bit9's trust-based application control and whitelisting
technology the malware was continually blocked from entering any of the
customer's endpoints, laptops or servers.
In this webcast, Harry Sverdlove will detail the power of Flame, discuss the
malware's attempts to infiltrate Bit9's customer's endpoints and describe in
detail how Bit9 was able to stop the attack with its trust-based approach to
security.
"Flame, like all malware, exploits vulnerabilities in enterprise systems,
processes and people, and a broad and highly experienced talent pool with
varied motivations is at work producing powerful targeted malware," stated
John Pescatore, vice president, distinguished analyst with Gartner in a recent
report*. "Use 'whitelisting' approaches for critical servers whenever possible,"
he added in the recommendations portion of the report.
