EICAR 2006 Abstract Selected
EICAR have just informed me that my abstract, entitled: ‘Spyware: Risks and Prevention‘ has been selected for the EICAR 2006 conference to be held in Hamburg, Germany between the 29th April and the 2nd of May 2006.
The abstract for the paper appears below:
Spyware has grown over the last two years from a minor annoyance to what it is today; a major headache for companies and academia (most of them just don’t know it yet) and home users alike.
This paper will investigate the growth of this threat and the ‘cart-load’ of risks and issues that Spyware and related risks bring to the corporate table. Furthermore it will investigate what the security staff in corporations can implement to address the risks and their companies liability, including.
- Policy
- Education
- Firewalls
- Proxies
- Intrusion Detection Systems
- Anti-Virus tools
- And last but not least, Anti-Spyware tools.
The processes, procedures and other solutions and guidance offered in this paper will come mainly from real-world experience of tackling spyware and related issues/risks.
All I have to do now, is carry out all the required research and write the paper; should only take me about 3 months…Hang on they need the completed paper by the 17th of March!!!
The full paper will be made available after the conference. I’ll post an announcement here shortly after the conference has finished.
