9:30am - 10:30am	Keynote Address *"Global Threat Intelligence - The Road Ahead"* The world we live in today requires diligence in defense measures to keep ahead of cyber criminals. However, today’s methodology typically results in an arms race between the offensive and defensive positions and presents scalability issues for any organization’s defensive positions. In order to achieve better results in winning this arms race, organizations must adopt a different approach to gaining better intelligence about the opposition’s movement and tactics. Given the unprecedented growth and complexity of today's threats that leverage multiple vectors such as email and Web 2.0 for propagation and infection, the approach to threat research also has to change — from reactive, to real-time, to predictive. This session will present concepts and examples for organizations to progress from current state security threat research to global threat intelligence, highlighting key principles that can be applied to any organization, and the security decisions and deployments within it. Carl Banzhof Vice President Technology Strategy and Product Security McAfee, Inc.
