*Yesterday's Trusted Web Sites are Today's Malicious Servers***

*Topic Description:** *Yesterday’s Trusted Web Sites Are Today’s Malicious
Servers**

In the dawn of the past decade, the Microsoft operating system was a
hacker's dream. It was universally-used software and it was ripe with bugs
ready to be exploited to hijack users' PCs or launch denial of service
attacks.

But 10 years later, Microsoft has slowly cleaned up its security flaws
leaving cyber criminals to target another vendor whose products are nearly
as ubiquitous and whose never-ending vulnerabilities are just being
discovered. That vendor is Adobe.  Due to the current trend of converting
trusted web sites into malicious servers (i.e. Operation Aurora), this
session will focus on the browsers and client-side applications that can be
invoked by browsers as the new "danger zone" and the steps IT administrators
must take to block a Google-like attack and the loss of intellectual
property or customer data.



*Speaker Biography: *Nik Patronas, Sr. Security Engineer**

Nik is responsible for educating prospective clients, customers and partners
on critical IT management issues including system discovery, patch and
configuration management, and anti-virus + anti-spy-ware defenses.  Nik also
trains Shavlik's customers on security and compliance best practices for
physical and virtual machines. Nik regularly speaks at events and
conferences, where he focuses on increasing awareness of today's evolving
security issues and approaching these challenges with innovative solutions
that are centered on simplicity, accuracy, flexibility and scalability.
