Building
off of the momentum of past successful conferences, Golden Networking
brings Cyber Security World Conference 2014 New York City
(www.CyberSecurityWorldConference.com),
forum that will bring the latest thinking from security experts to
hundreds of senior executives focused on protecting enterprises'
information assets.
New
York City, NY, USA (November 4, 2014) -- A chain is only as
strong as its weakest link, says Bill Buchanan, The Conversation.
Computer security relies on a great number of links, hardware,
software and something else altogether: you. The greatest threat to
information security is actually people. Why strive to defeat
encrypted passwords stored in computers, when those computers' human
users will turn them over willingly?
A
huge problem with most types of digital communications, processing
and storage is that it's often very difficult to differentiate
between a true communication and one which has been falsified. This
stems largely from the internet's background as an open, insecure
system. In emails apparently from legitimate websites, the email
address of the sender can be spoofed, that is, replaced with another
that is not the sender's actual address, as some email relay systems
allow this.
Corporations
are today targeted as never before, with growth in hacking attacks
linked to nation states and overseas governments; in fact,
sophisticated and sustained campaigns of phishing have succeeded in
stealing information from firms and organizations all over the world.
Symantec recorded a 62% rise in data breaches from spear phishing in
2013.
In
response to the growing cyber threat, the Cybersecurity Framework,
which was drafted by the Commerce Department's National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST), represents a tipping point in the
evolution of cybersecurity, one in which the balance is shifting to
proactive risk-management standards. While its application is
voluntary, organizations across industries may gain significant
benefits by adopting the guidelines.
Golden
Networking's Cyber Security World Conference 2014 New York City

will provide a platform for hundreds of senior executives focused on
protecting today's enterprises to learn more about the Cybersecurity
Framework and how to apply it to their organization. Topics that

About
Cyber Security World Conference 2014
Cyber
security is never again a term to ignore for individuals or
corporations. The daily activities of all Americans, the country's
global economic prominence and worldwide security rely on a safe and
resilient cyberspace. Unfortunately, the number of cyber-attacks has
increased dramatically over the last years, exposing confidential
personal and business data, disrupting critical operations, and
imposing exorbitantly high costs on the economy overall.
Just
recently, J.P. Morgan Chase, America's largest commercial bank with
$2.39 trillion in assets, announced that about 76 million households
and 7 million of small-business customers had been affected by a
cyber attack in one of the most sweeping known global breaches. The
company said the unknown attackers stole customers' contact
information, which included names, email addresses, numbers and
addresses, affected an amount equivalent to almost two-thirds of
American households.
A
brief walk down memory lane of some the biggest recent cyber-attacks
now include Adobe Systems, Automated Data Processing, Citigroup,
E*Trade Financial, Fidelity Investments, Home Depot, HSBC, Nasdaq
OMX, Neiman Marcus, Target and Wal-mart. It is not unlikely to
consider that the information of every American has already been
compromised in any of these publicly disclosed attacks.
Renowned
information security experts and innovative service providers will
present at Cyber Security World Conference 2014 their latest thinking
to hundreds of senior executives focused on protecting enterprises
and governmental agencies.
Cyber
Security World Conference 2014 is produced by Golden Networking, the
