5 The virus, ACAD/Medre.A, has stolen tens of thousands of blueprints from companies mostly based in Peru, said ESET, a computer security firm. It targeted software called AutoCAD, which is very widely used by industrial designers and architects. The stolen drawings were surreptitiously sent to accounts provided by two Chinese internet firms, 163.com and qq.com 5

6 Why are they doing it? Mainly Financially driven (Data Theft) Politically driven (Russia/China/ME Intellectual Property Rights theft Follow the money! How is it combated? J. Keith Mularski, Supervisory Special Agent, Cyber Division went deep undercover and infiltrated DarkMarket, an English speaking Cybercrime forum, under the alias Master Splyntr, eventually leading to 60 arrests worldwide 6

7 How do we combat it? ESET vs the Russians in a game of futuristic tennis ESET s Virus Labs in Slovakia Tens of thousands of new malware samples daily Employing top talent So do the malware producers! 7

8 Possible consequences of inadequate protection Can you put a value on down time? Here's a cost analysis with the sample cost impact of network downtime. Cost Type Average Personnel IT Technical Support No of Users Cost per hour Downtime Cost in HR Estimated Annual Cost 3 hours downtime per year ,500 13, Total Company 505 N/A 4,700 14,100 Additional hidden costs can also result from lost revenue when no orders placed during downtime. If the network goes down once a year, the cost is high. If several times a year the cost can escalate quickly. St. Bartholomews (Barts) Hospital, together with The Royal London Hospital and The London Chest Hospital, form this trust. They were collectively hit by the MyTob Worm which took down all three hospitals networks over a two day period. This was not an unknown threat! 8

9 What can you do? Ensure you are using best of breed protection Technology will protect you, not brand names. Research a products pedigree.
