Description:

As malware grows in sophistication, current techniques reveal that malware variants are employing more covert functions. Additionally, corporate espionage is at an all-time high as evidenced by all of the alleged Chinese cases in 2013. If the newswire is any indication, corporate espionage, covert communications, and evidence concealment continue to plague corporations, investigators, and the military.

This webcast will highlight some of the latest research of the 21st century involving data hiding techniques over the network and with data-at-rest. The highlights will demonstrate new techniques for hiding data on mobile devices, operating systems, VOIP, virtual images, social networks, and other dominating technologies in today's world. Having demonstrated the latest data hiding techniques, detailed analytical methods for enumerating hidden data, as well as jamming methods for disrupting data hiding operations will be outlined. We will then consider emerging technologies and attack methods, including cloud considerations, privacy protection, and derivative data hiding and detection theories.

The concepts will provide corporate, government and military personnel with the knowledge to investigate and defend against insider threats, spy techniques, espionage, advanced malware and secret communications. By understanding the plethora of threats, one can gain an understanding of the methods to defend oneself from these threats through detection, investigation, mitigation and prevention.
