DESCRIPTION:The existence of state sponsored\, economically and politicall
 y motivated targeted attacks against the IT systems of organisations acros
 s the globe is undeniable. Against this Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) o
 rganisations need to take action to manage risk and minimise harm. This pr
 esentation will look at the threats\, the actors\, and the motivations of 
 the attacks and explain why any organisation or individual could find itse
 lf victim of an APT attack. The presentation will examine how these attack
 s work and discuss the best ways of spotting and defending against the att
 acks. This presentation will give nightmares to chief information security

 ot something with which they should be concerned.\n\nPaul Beechey is a Sen

 anisations within the financial\, government\, commerce\, retail and defen
 ce arenas. With well over a decade of experience to provide anecdotes and 
 war-stories\, Beech’s enthusiastic and evangelical presentation style wi
