Attacks are getting more aggressive, yet defenses have lagged behind. The Google / Aurora attack wasn't very sophisticated, nor was it new. Yet the multi-billion dollar AV industry was caught unprepared. If hackers in Russia, China, and elsewhere can uncover new vulnerabilities, why hasn't the InfoSec Industry been able to find them first? What are vendors not doing that they should be? And why not? NSS Labs will share our technical research findings, along with a breakdown of where the biggest InfoSec product weaknesses are and how the next big attack will leverage those weaknesses.
