Qualys Leads Panel of Top Security Experts to Discuss Automated Network Security Defenses at CSI

* * * * * * * * * * * Media Advisory * * * * * * * * * * *

What:

Network security attacks are becoming more frequent, more complex and the damages are costing companies millions of dollars. Evolving attacks are capable of spreading faster than human, manual response. Therefore, the need for automated defenses to thwart sophisticated network attacks and protect our economic continuity is at an all time high.

Gerhard Eschelbeck, CTO and VP of Engineering at Qualys, will lead the discussion with the presentation of his published research and Congressional testimony on vulnerabilities and worm defense. In addition, security experts from Computer Science Corporation, Symantec, VeriSign, and @Stake Consulting will join Qualys to participate in an interactive discussion on “The Future of Automated Defenses” at CSI in Washington, D.C. BearingPoint will moderate the discussion.
