President Obama's words, "cyber threat is one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation" are now being echoed by many around the world. Recently, Gen. Keith Alexander, who commands the U.S. Cyber Command, stated that the capability exists today for destructive cyber attacks against critical infrastructures. Stuxnet and Flame were just two (now known) viruses that have unleashed significant destruction against Iran's nuclear program. In this talk, Dr. Pruthi will give an overview of the cyber security threat landscape, from cyber wars to espionage to hacktivism and everything in between. Traditional cyber defense tools and techniques will be discussed and their weaknesses will be highlighted. A case will be made for novel computer and communications technologies necessary to address the ever growing threat vectors. New technologies and paradigms and efficient strategies that are proving effective against sophisticated advanced persistent threats, trojans, botnets and worms will be discussed.

Agenda

Dr. Pruthi is the Founder and CEO of NIKSUN which he has built from a startup to a highly successful global company in the cyber security, wireless, and network monitoring markets. Recognized as one of the foremost experts in advanced cyber security technologies, Dr. Pruthi advises on cyber defense strategies with some of the highest levels of governments and enterprises around the world. He is a frequent speaker on cyber security issues, including keynotes to delegates from across 28 NATO nations, agencies, and strategic commands at the NATO Information Assurance Symposium 2010, 2011, and 2012.

Dr. Pruthi received his Doctorate in Telecommunications from The Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, and his thesis, “An Application of Chaotic Maps to Packet Traffic Modeling,” was the first to apply chaotic and fractal systems to accurately model the seemingly erratic nature of network traffic. Dr. Pruthi continues to drive the advancement of cyber security and network monitoring applications and practices to new levels, regularly introducing highly innovative and state-of-the-art products that continue to pave the way in the industry
