1) Word From Secunia:

The Dynamics & Threats of End-Point Software Portfolios
How is the threat environment changing? Secunia's presentation guides
you through a malware construction kit and measures the complexity of
end-points - the easy prey for cybercriminals. It also presents the
most effective protective measures for when the perimeter fails.

Although there is no silver bullet technology, identifying and locking
the right "doors" at the right time is the optimal strategy for
securing end-point software portfolios against vulnerabilities.
