delivery [http://www.radware.com/Products/ApplicationDelivery/default.aspx ] and

[http://www.radware.com/Products/ApplicationNetworkSecurity/default.aspx ] solutions for
virtual and cloud data centers, announces it will discuss several real-life cyber attacks
on stock exchanges, during a presentation which is being held at the 2013 RSA Conference,
February 25 to March 1st, in San Francisco, California.
In a presentation titled, Stock Exchanges in the Line of Fire - Morphology of
Cyber-Attacks, Ziv Gadot, Radware's Security Operations Center (SOC) team leader, will
discuss how stock exchanges are constantly targeted by cyber attacks and why they are an
ideal target for hacktivists who try to cause even the slightest service disruption, which
may result in heavy financial losses and penalties to the financial sector.
Based on hands-on experience, Mr. Gadot will also discuss exact timelines of the
events with real case studies, pre-attack preparation scenarios, attack vectors used and
what each vector attempted to achieve. Also covered will be the impact on both the network
and business and how each attack victim initiated their mitigation including forensic
analysis and eventual arrests, as well as practical techniques that exchanges and similar
firms can employ to safeguard their operations.
The presentation will take place Thursday, February 28th from 10:40am - 11:40am in
room 135 at the Moscone Convention Center. Attendees are encouraged to live-tweet during
the session using the hashtag #Radware.
"Through denial of service attacks, website defacement, information theft and other
disruptive techniques, hactivists will continue their relentless cyber-attacks in order to
highlight their own ideals and dissent," says Ziv Gadot. "By sharing a detailed technical
account on these stock exchange incidents, I hope to inform and educate those who attend
this briefing to better assist their future mitigation efforts."
