EnCase® Webinar Features Independent Security Analyst

Guidance Software, (NASDAQ:GUID), the World Leader in Digital Investigations™, today announced a webinar titled “2015 Endpoint Security Predictions and Key Winning Strategies,” featuring Forrester Research analyst Chris Sherman, an expert on endpoint security and data privacy. The webinar will be held December 4 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific.

In a Forrester report authored by Sherman published July 7, 2014, titled Prepare For The Post-AV Era Part 1: Five Alternatives To Endpoint Antivirus, he wrote, “Deep endpoint visibility into all endpoint process executions, application/file/registry modifications, network activity, active memory, kernel-driver activity, and hard disk activity can be exceptionally valuable to [security and risk] pros who are trying to figure out whether they were attacked and what needs to be accomplished for remediation.”

With attacks bypassing perimeter security and effectively targeting sensitive information on endpoints such as laptops, tablets and servers, security teams are finding traditional antivirus software is no longer effective. In this hour-long webinar, Sherman will discuss the 2015 threat landscape for endpoint security and strategies to fend off the growing tide of threats.

Webinar attendees will learn about:

• Why malware keeps evading traditional security controls
• Which malware and advanced threats are on the rise
• How to shift your endpoint security plans to include more proactive controls
• How to set up an effective overall security strategy to combat targeted attacks

Presenters:

• Chris Sherman, Security and Risk Analyst, Forrester Research
• Judi Uttal, Senior Director, Product Marketing, Guidance Software
