FireEye Holds Webinar on Cyberattacks against Government Agencies

Whether it’s sensitive military, diplomatic, or economic information, governments, like any enterprise, depend on the integrity of their data.

If that data falls into the wrong hands, the consequences could be severe.

In the wake of two apparent state- and government-sponsored attacks, APT1 and APT28, government agencies must understand why they are in attackers’ crosshairs, what attackers might be seeking, and how they can protect themselves.

To this end, FireEye is holding a dynamic discussion with Tony Cole, FireEye VP & Global Government CTO, where guests will get a sneak peek into an upcoming report that documents how and why governments are turning to the cyber domain as a cost-effective way to spy on other countries and steal data.

In this webinar, participants will learn:

What makes your government-related organization an appealing target – whether you’re a political opponent, business, agency or vendor

Why it’s important to determine who could be planning an attack, their motives, and how they might carry out their goals

How to assess your level of preparedness and how to protect yourself if you are not ready for this new era of cyber warfare

Participants will hook up (online) on Thursday, March 5, 2015 at 08:00 am - 09:00 am PT (US); 11:00 am - 12:00 pm ET (US) and 04:00 pm - 05:00 pm GMT (UK), to better understand the escalating cyber threats facing governmental organizations today.

Tony Cole assists government agencies, corporations, and system integrators around the globe in understanding today’s advanced threats and their potential impact.

He provides feedback to FireEye on government related cyber security requirements and feature enhancements for FireEye products and Mandiant services.
