Podcast

Listen to Sam Masiello from McAfee on this podcast as he talks to ETM’s Ali Klaver about the changing threat landscape and how it applies to organizations and social media, now and in the future.

AK: “Sam, how has the threat landscape changed dramatically in the past six months or so?”

SM: “What we’ve seen over the past couple of years is the migration from these end mass type of attacks where you see phishing emails sent to millions of people. These show up on the radars of just about every filtering provider and ISP fairly quickly, and they get shut down quickly. But it also extends to larger numbers of targeted attacks going after individual organizations or groups of organizations, in an attempt to either steal data or proprietary and intellectual property. The game really has changed from the end map type of attacks to much more targeted attacks at individual organizations and even individual people.”
