Webcast: End Users Behaving Badly: Threats from the Inside

Overview The threat from inside your business is a growing concern and ranges from end users inadvertently putting your data and network at risk to end users intentionally exploiting your systems for financial gain. That's why organizations that are concerned about network security need to take a closer look at what their end users are doing.

Listen as speakers Brian Burke, Research Manager, IDC Security Products, and Richard Wang, Director of Threat Research from Sophos, discuss why end users put systems at risk and how you can prevent employees from compromising network security.

Hosted by James Hilliard of TechRepublic, this Webcast addresses these important topics and more:

The state of endpoint security today
The types of risks introduced by end users and how they compromise information security
Effective solutions for managing end user risk

Listen to this on-demand Webcast, sponsored by Sophos, today. You'll get expert tips and advice on defending your network against the internal security threats that are introduced every day by your own end users.
