Today on Dark Reading Radio: The Winners & Losers of Botnet Takedowns
The international public-private efforts to bring down the GameoverZeuS and Citadel botnets get points for taking a whack at the players in the black market, but lose points for catching some legitimate businesses in the crossfire. What does the final scorecard look like? That will be the topic of discussion today at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time during the next episode of Dark Reading Radio, “Botnet Takedowns: Who’s Winning, Who’s Losing.”
Last week a Senate Judicial Committee hearing was held to discuss these recent efforts to take down botnets. Today we’ll pick the brains of two of the panelists at that hearing: Craig D. Spiezle, executive director and founder of the Online Trust Alliance, and Cheri McGuire, vice president of global government affairs and cyber security policy for Symantec.
They’ll share their insights about some of this issue’s knotty questions. How can we achieve the maximum botnet disruption with the minimum collateral damage? What can legislators, technologists, law enforcement, and security professionals do to earn the good guys a winning record?
Have any questions you want to make sure I ask the guests? Let me know in the comments below, then join us at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time today, July 23. Register now.
