Paladion to demonstrate next generation risk analytics solution and new attack vectors at GISEC 2014

Dubai, UAE; June 08, 2014: Paladion, a leading global specialist in Information Risk Management and Middle East’s only Gartner rated Managed Security provider, will showcase next generation risk analytics solution live hack sessions at Gulf Information Security Expo & Conference (GISEC) every day from June 9-11, 2014, in association with strategic partner HP.

18 informative sessions will take place at the Paladion and HP booth including sessions on RisqVU Risk Analytics, RisqVU IT GRC and demonstration of latest attack vectors researched at Paladion Labs. The live hack sessions are reconstructed by Paladion Labs at booth # SM-A60. The concept hacks planned for demonstration at GISEC relate to concealing text and files by wrapping around VOIP protocol and how an innocent looking ‘Internet of Things’ device can open the doors to the kingdom.

According to the PricewaterhouseCoopers' (PwC) 2014 Global Economic Crime Survey, cybercrime is the second most reported economic crime in the Middle East. Paladion has a host of solutions for organisations to defend themselves from cyber-attacks which the company will showcase for visitors to their stand.
