Wave CTO Greg Kazmierczak to Discuss Advanced Malware Detection at
Next Week's Cybersecurity Innovation Forum
Wave Joins JWSecure and Microsoft in Discussing the Importance
of Measuring Device Health
LEE, MA--(Marketwired - Jan 22, 2014) - Wave Systems Corp.
(NASDAQ: WAVX) announced that Chief Technology Officer Greg
Kazmierczak will discuss how organizations can leverage existing
technology and infrastructure to measure and attest device health
at the Cybersecurity Innovation Forum on Jan. 28. Kazmierczak joins
JWSecure's Tom Jones and Microsoft's Atul Shah on the panel, which
will be moderated by Stan Potter of the National Security Agency
(NSA).
"The sophistication and the sheer quantity of threats, coupled
with the enormous number of devices, make it difficult to track and
prevent malware compromises," said Kazmierczak. "Software-based
device health checks can be easily spoofed and provide false
assurance of the health of a device. We'll cover how measurements
of device health -- when safely protected by the Trusted Platform
Module -- can help detect, identify and prevent malware
attacks."
The majority of enterprise devices sold in recent years contain
the security hardware needed to perform remote attestation, which
can be harnessed to indicate the health status of a device.
The Cybersecurity Innovation Forum is a three-day event
sponsored by the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence with
the Department of Homeland Security, the National Institute of
Standards and Technology and the National Security Agency as the
primary participating organizations.
The event brings content, expertise and momentum from the
Trusted Computing and IT Security Automation conferences into a
single event. Along with several general sessions and keynotes, the
Forum comprises four main tracks -- Trusted Computing,
Security Automation, Information Sharing, and Research.
Wave will be located at booth 417/418, with representatives on
hand to showcase Wave's virtual smart card authentication
capabilities, along with solutions for device health and identity.
Wave is sponsoring an evening reception on Tuesday in the exhibit
hall (Ballroom III and IV, 400 level.)
About Wave Systems Wave Systems Corp. reduces the complexity,
cost and uncertainty of data protection by starting inside the
device. Unlike other vendors who try to secure information by
adding layers of software for security, Wave leverages the security
capabilities built directly into endpoint computing platforms
themselves. Wave has been a foremost expert on this growing
trend, leading the way with first-to-market solutions and helping
shape standards through its work as a board member for the Trusted
