What if you get an email from your boss telling you to purchase a $1,000 office item. You email back to get instructions, which he e-mails back. You order the product, and then find out it wasn't your boss e-mailing you at all.

You'd be a victim of a Man-in-the-Middle attack (MITM), a cryptographic form of eavesdropping. This threat to businesses is enormous and getting worse every day. Phishing, SSL proxy, autoproxy, Man-in-the-Browser, DNS poisoning such as Hotspots and Kaminsky attacks, IPSec+XAUTH MITM, and OTP via a botnet client are all extremely dangerous MITM attacks.

On Friday, March 27th, join Steve Dispensa and co-host David Strom as they share solutions to MITM attacks, and discuss possible new threats.

David Strom is an internationally respected author and professional speaker who has been writing about security and networking issues for more than 20 years. He was the founding editor-in-chief at Network Computing magazine and DigitalLanding.com, and has written two computer networking books and thousands of magazine articles for nearly every IT publication.
