APT Webinar Series
1st in the APT Series: Advanced Persistent Threat Overview
Date: November 17, 2010
Active Persistent Threats (APT) like Stuxnet, Mariposa and Aurora are in the news and represent real risk to organizations. Sophisticated, well-financed attackers are using APTs to target organizations’ information. Organizations need to be able to recognize and protect against these attacks. Join Solutionary Chief Security Strategist Don Gray for this informative webinar, "The Advanced Persistent Threat".
During the webinar, attendees will learn:
- Definition of an APT
- Challenges organizations face
- Strategies to protect against APTs

2nd in the APT Series: How they Affect Everyone
Date: April 19th, 2011
We all experience security information overload. Trying to keep on top of the attacks that are going to impact your organization and staff is a daunting task. Many CSOs have put APT into the "not my problem" category because they don't think they are a target.
The fact is that APT attacks can have a significant impact on everyone, not just the ultimate targets. Whether you become the weakest link in the chain, or have to deal with ever more sophisticated attacks delivered in ever more efficient ways, APT attacks require your attention.
Solutionary Chief Security Strategist Don Gray, walked through APT attacks and discussed how the impact trickled down through an organization. Don discussed:
- APT: Who, What, Where, When
- How APT affects everyone - even you
- Components of an effective defense
Learn more about the APT and how Solutionary can help protect your organization.
3rd in the APT Series: An In-Depth Look at Detecting an APT Attack
Date: May 17th, 2011
Slow. Stealthy. Sinister.
Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) move low and slow, making them very difficult to detect. The threat to your valuable data is real. The effects of recent APT attacks are having far-reaching effects on the organizations targeted and beyond.
If your organization was targeted by an APT attack, would you know?
Detecting APT attacks is the first step in defending against them. Solutionary is uniquely positioned to detect and respond to these attacks. Solutionary’s ActiveGuard® Security and Compliance platform, in combination with our security intelligence and expertise, gives us visibility into client environments to recognize APTs.
Join Solutionary Chief Security Strategist Don Gray, who will walk you through how you can detect and defend against APTs. Don will discuss:
· Identifying APTs using security intelligence and event correlation
· Dissection of an APT, including asset impact
· Detail of how ActiveGuard detects an attack
4th in the APT Series: Visual APT Defense: See IT for yourself
Date: June 14th, 2011
APTs, or Advanced Persistent Threats, have compromised millions of records. Recent, well- publicized, breaches have demonstrated how APTs are one of the biggest risks to data integrity for organizations of all sizes.
APTs are generally very targeted, exact in their purpose and executed by more than a single individual. Using a variety of techniques, perpetrators gain remote access, locate and manipulate hosts within the targeted organization to obtain critical information. Vigilant in their quest to extract the data being sought, they sometimes remain undetected because the source appears to be a trusted one.
Don’t miss the final installment of our Threat Intelligence webinar series focused on APTs. It will help you understand how to recognize and defend your organization against APTs. Rob Kraus from the Solutionary Engineering Research Team (SERT) will demonstrate an APT attack using a common APT attack vector.
Topics to be addressed include:
• How APTs are being perpetrated
• Identifying APTs
• APT Attack Demo
• Defending against APTs
Attendees to the live webinar received a copy of The Seven Deadliest Network Attacks co-authored by the Solutionary Security Engineering and Research Team (SERT) leader, Rob Kraus.
