SAN FRANCISCO, April 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sophos (LSE:SOPH), a global leader in network and endpoint security, today announced that it will showcase presentations from Sophos threat experts and top executives, and findings from new network security research at RSA Conference 2018. Sophos is also demonstrating the latest version of its next-generation endpoint security solution Intercept X with deep learning technology. To allow everyone to experience threat categorization, Sophos has interactive and virtual reality games at its booth #3201 in the North Hall.
On April 18 at 1:45 p.m. PT in Moscone North 20, industry veteran Dan Schiappa, general manager and senior vice president of product innovation at Sophos will present “Charles Darwin, Cybersecurity Visionary? Surviving When Predator is Hacker,” a discussion on why and how security needs to evolve.
“When the predator is the hacker and defenses cannot adapt in real time, the IT ecosystem cannot survive. For too many years, the industry has looked at security by protecting single points in the ecosystem and now we must approach protection by adapting. An ecosystem that shares actionable intelligence and allows the ecosystem to adapt automatically in real time is the future of security.”
