Specifically, users being tricked into running a Trojan horse malware program that bypasses installed defenses according to the recent Microsoft Security Intelligence Report. To help educate users on the should and should-not’s of IT security,The Security Mistakes People Make examines significant challenges presented by users and questions whether or not traditional IT approaches are in fact solving the wrong problems. The one-hour discussion is led by Mike Rothman of Securosis and Paul Zimski, of Lumension.
