Ixia, a leading provider of network testing, visibility, and security solutions, will be exhibiting at Black Hat USA 2016 (Booth #109) in Las Vegas August 3rd and 4th.

Learn how to protect against Zero-Day exploits and existing vulnerabilities leveraged for new attacksIxia’s application threat intelligence (ATI) experts will be on hand to discuss how they discovered a unique Zero-Day Mutation that conceals itself from detection and how to analyze similar variants in the future.

Attendees at this event can learn more about how to protect their network from these Zero-Day Mutations, which include macro-based ransomware such as ‘Locky’, and targets users through emails containing a document with macros.

In addition, these network security professionals are available to discuss how companies can protect their networks from a new attack, based on an existing vulnerability, that bypasses HTTPS protection on Macs, Windows, and Linux by abusing a feature known as WPAD—short for Web Proxy Autodiscovery. In fact, Ixia has had the ability to test and assess this vulnerability since 2009 via its BreakingPoint solution, when it was first disclosed.

Media Only Event on Tuesday, August 2ndIxia is also hosting a “media only” event on Tuesday, August 2nd at 4:00 PM PT at the Delano Hotel, Sienna BC Meeting Room, which provides a first-hand look at what happens when a company is under attack.

This interactive and immersive session will deliver a live hack simulation and provide a better understanding of how offensive and defensive cyber security methods can protect companies from cyberattacks. If you would like to attend, RSVP to ixia@highwirepr.com.
