Edgar Perez, Cybersecurity Boardroom Workshop 2015, on China, Russia, U.S. and North Korea’s Hacking

Edgar Perez, author of Knightmare on Wall Street and The Speed Traders, brings Cybersecurity Boardroom Workshop 2015, seminars in New York City, London, Dubai, Bangkok, Jakarta, Sydney, Taipei, Seoul and Tokyo that are targeted at board members and senior executives looking for new ways to gain and maintain competitive business advantage in one of the most critical subjects for corporations and governments worldwide.

New York City, NY, USA (September 16, 2015) — Amid the massive Sony Pictures hacking crisis by the end of 2014, Russia offered support to North Korea in a sign that proved relations between the two nations were growing tighter. According to the Russians, the United States failed to offer any form of proof to back its claims against North Korea in the Sony Pictures hacking scandal.

What was China’s take on the situation? “Any civilized world will oppose hacker attacks or terror threats,” said China in a Global Times editorial. “But a movie like The Interview, which makes fun of the leader of an enemy of the U.S., is nothing to be proud of for Hollywood and U.S. society. Americans always believe they can jab at other countries’ leaders just because they are free to criticize or make fun of their own state leaders. Actually, the countries targeted in Hollywood movies are very selective, such as the Cold War era’s Soviet Union, North Korea and Iran.”

Mr. Edgar Perez, a published author, business consultant for private equity and hedge funds and Council Member at the Gerson Lehrman Group, is set to discuss at Cybersecurity Boardroom Workshop 2015 what these four super cyber powers, China, Russia, United States and North Korea, have in common. Mr. Perez is a subject matter expert in cybersecurity, investing, trading, financial regulation (Dodd-Frank Act) and market structure.

Mr. Perez’s participation at these forums has been praised by both organizers and attendees:

“It was such a pleasure to have you participate in our conference. The feedback was great and the information you shared with the audience was invaluable. Once again, thank you for your contribution in making the event a success.”

“I would like to show my appreciation on your willingness to share your insights about cybersecurity. We would certainly have you in mind as we move forward to deal with this very important issue.”

ABOUT CYBERSECURITY BOARDROOM WORKSHOP 2015

As cyber attacks become more common, companies are increasingly investing in cyber security protections. But even with the best systems in place, hackers can still easily break into a company’s network if workers aren’t also being diligent about security.

So employees need to be vigilant and ask questions about all of the email they receive that raises even the slightest suspicion, which is most likely not what happened at some of the high-profile cyber security breaches that have been in the headlines recently: Adobe, ADP, E*Trade, Fidelity, Home Depot, JPMorgan Chase, Nasdaq, Neiman Marcus, Sony, Target and Wal-mart.

ixDownload.com announces the launch of their antivirus software guide

Just like their natural counterparts, computer-based viruses evolve quickly. Early versions were relatively localized and obvious. These were often created by nerds and geeks to show off their technical prowess. Nowadays, viruses are more insidious and malicious. Not only are contemporary viruses harder to detect, they also spread more rapidly due to the Internet. Contemporary viruses are also mostly commercial in nature. The number of locations and methods where users can get infected have also multiplied and evolved. Up to the early 90s, infection was generally restricted to swapping infected floppy disks or infected files in a LAN. With the rise of the Internet, infections take many forms ranging from malicious email attachments, suspicious search results, spammed email links, instant message links, and many others.

“The game has definitely changed when it comes to viruses”, says Oliver Thompson, ixDownload’s Media principal. “The old guarantees of security, however tenuous they were, are completely gone now. Networks and individual PCs’ security are determined on a day to day basis.” Thankfully, as viruses evolve so do antivirus programs. “There is an ongoing arms race out there between virus coders and antivirus companies. The consumer must keep pace with the changes or risk getting overtaken by increasingly creative and malicious viruses,” adds Thompson. To meet these challenges, ixDownload.com, the Internet’s leading software review and applications authority, has released an antivirus resource page that helps prospective antivirus program buyers pick the best package.

“Unlike other websites which claim to be authority sites, ixDownload.com offers a fully impartial antivirus resource and review page—we don’t play favorites. In fact, we don’t even specifically name antivirus programs in our resource,” says Thompson. IxDownload.com’s antivirus review and resource page, located at http://www.ixdownload.com/reviews/antivirus-software/, walks users through the software selection process with easy, practical, and verifiable considerations that help them pick the software package that meets their particular needs. “Instead of outright recommending a particular package, we understand that there is no ‘one size fits all’ principle at work in antivirus software. Each situation is different,” says Thompson. Instead, ixDownload.com empowers users to match their situation’s particular needs (size of enterprise, usage patterns, and other factors) with general considerations to arrive at a purchasing decision and find the best solution for their situation.
