Business Wire
Ixia, a leading provider of network testing, visibility, and
security solutions, will be exhibiting at Black Hat USA 2016
(Booth #109) in Las Vegas August 3rd and 4th.
Learn how to protect against Zero-Day exploits and existing
vulnerabilities leveraged for new attacksIxia’s application
threat intelligence (ATI) experts will be on hand to discuss how
they discovered a unique Zero-Day Mutation that conceals itself
from detection and how to analyze similar variants in the
future.
Attendees at this event can learn more about how to protect
their network from these Zero-Day Mutations, which include
macro-based ransomware such as ‘Locky’, and targets users through
emails containing a document with macros.
In addition, these network security professionals are available
to discuss how companies can protect their networks from a new
attack, based on an existing vulnerability, that bypasses HTTPS
protection on Macs, Windows, and Linux by abusing a feature known
as WPAD—short for Web Proxy Autodiscovery. In fact, Ixia has had
the ability to test and assess this vulnerability since 2009 via
its BreakingPoint solution, when it was first disclosed.
Media Only Event on Tuesday, August 2ndIxia is
also hosting a “media only” event on Tuesday, August 2nd at
4:00 PM PT at the Delano Hotel, Sienna BC Meeting Room, which
provides a first-hand look at what happens when a company is under
attack.
This interactive and immersive session will deliver a live hack
simulation and provide a better understanding of how offensive and
defensive cyber security methods can protect companies from
cyberattacks. If you would like to attend, RSVP to
