On Friday, March 5, Blue Coat Senior Malware Researcher Chris Larsen will break down recent real-world attacks to examine how link farms, botnets and gray search engines are used to create multi-staged attacks during a session titled, “Is This Link Safe? – Exploiting Trust Through Search Engine Manipulation.” The session will also evaluate the role and relative value of a coordinated defense that includes existing and new technologies, policies and procedures, and user education. The session begins at 9:00 a.m. in the Blue Room 104.

In its booth, Blue Coat will demonstrate the on-demand security intelligence delivered by its Secure Web Gateway solution. Blue Coat^® ProxySG^® and ProxyAV™ appliances, ProxyClient^™ software and the WebPulse™ cloud-based collaborative defense work together to enable businesses to consistently enforce corporate IT policies across the distributed enterprise and to prevent Web-based malware and malicious content from compromising application security or performance. 

Blue Coat will also host the following partners in its booth:
