Compass starts hacker attack at CeBIT

February 10, 2009;

"Trust is Lost – How was Sarah Palin's Yahoo Account hacked? Are we going to become transparent citizens?" - That's the title of one of the many expert presentations of Compass Security AG at CeBIT 2009. The ICT security specialist complicates the game of data thieves by sensitising the visitors for the methods of attackers and by pinpointing weaknesses. Hardly anyone is aware that indirect attacks enable a successful penetration with 80 % of the enterprises.

Compass specialists focus in their various presentations on the different risks companies should nowadays be prepared for as well as on suitable protective measures. Targeted Live-Hacks are demonstrated and brand new security relevant topics such as "Exploiting Social Networks - The complete loss of privacy" are raised. Apart from that, the audience will be introduced to "The art of Web attacks" and to "Backdoor Kung-Fu".

Besides the extensive service portfolio and the know-how transfer regarding current gateways, Compass presents the specially developed product FileBox. This multitenant secure data exchange solution for the safe data exchange represents a true alternative to complex and cost-intensive E-Mail encrypting programmes. The detailed features and a test account are available for visitors at the booth.
