New tactics
• Low-key, localised outbreaks– Less visibile to AV ‘early warning radar’– Less visible to law enforcement agencies– Infected PC population more
‘manageable’• i.e. easier to process stolen data
– Competition to ‘own’ victim machines– & sabotage security defences
Today’s threat landscape
• Attack methods– Spam distribution
• Instead of mass-mailing
– Exploits– Trojans
• Spyware
– Ransomware– Phishing
Internet security
• Integrated protection– Anti-Virus– Proactive defence
• Generic detection• Heuristic analysis• Behavioural analysis
– Personal firewall– Anti-spam– Parental Control
