Program > Stealth Malware - Can Good Guys Win?

2nd Workshop of security in Latin America – Keynote Speaker

Tuesday, Oct 10th at 09:30

The presentation will try to present current challenges in detecting advanced forms of stealth malware and explain why current detection approaches, as used in commercial A/V or IDS products, are insufficient. The author will try to convince the audience that detection is no less important then prevention and that we need a systematic approach to implement a good compromise detector, instead of a bunch of "hacks" as we have today.
