“The criminal artisans that have organized on the Internet are growing in technical sophistication and command, and in their capacity to cloak themselves from detection,” said Peter Cassidy, APWG secretary general. “At CeCOS III, the APWG will make a very important proposition: to create a unified response to electronic crime as organized as the crimes themselves — a response to electronic crime without frontiers.”

Corrons will present on how numerous new strains of malware are appearing every day and saturating security laboratories. He will go on to describe how new detection technologies such as cloud-based protection can help combat this inundation of malware.

“Every day we are detecting an average of 30,000 new strains of malware, most of which are designed with a financial motive, such as stealing bank passwords or selling fake antivirus software,” said Corrons. “This is all symptomatic of the huge business that now centers around malware. I will be describing this situation and looking at how we can stop it.”
