* “A Conversation with Roger Thompson”
AVG has produced a printed interview with Chief Research Officer Roger Thompson, in which he identifies the most pressing Internet security threats facing businesses today. Roger discusses:
— The rise of the dynamic, transient threat — how the bad guys are
attempting to perfect the art of hit and run Web attacks that
conventional Internet security defenses miss
— Search engines under attack — how organic and paid search engine
results get hijacked, and why Google is relatively helpless to stop
them
— Ad networks under attack — how the bad guys are leveraging ad
syndication networks to poison hundreds of trusted web sites in a
single attack
— Social networks under attack — how the bad guys are using popular
trusted social networks like MySpace and Facebook to spread exploits
and creative social engineering attacks
