NetWitness Partners with SC Magazine to Host Webinar on Finding and Stopping Invisible Threats

         Webinar to Highlight Deficiencies in Today's Security
  Infrastructures and How Network Monitoring and Alerting Can Improve
                Organizations Overall Security Posture
HERNDON, Va.--(Business Wire)--
NetWitness Corporation, the leading provider of next generation
network security monitoring and active threat intelligence software,
announced today it will host a Webcast titled "Finding and Stopping
the Invisible Threats" on June 25, 2008 at 2pm EDT.

   Moderated by SC Magazine online editor, Charles Miller, this
complimentary Webcast provides information on why current security
infrastructures cannot help detect some of the more difficult and
complex network security problems. Veteran security expert Eddie
Schwartz, CSO of NetWitness Corporation, will discuss the ways
organizations can solve these network security problems by
implementing a next generation network monitoring infrastructure and a
layer of alerting and threat intelligence applications to detect
invisible network threats such as designer malware, botnet
communications, and policy evasion technologies. The Webcast also will
show how to improve the value of current security monitoring
investments by augmenting existing alerts with rich session analysis
information.

   This Webcast will provide two case studies, one from a top-ten
financial institution and the other from a large government agency;
both facing complex and invisible security threats on a daily basis.
Schwartz will discuss problems such as drive-by exploitation of end
user workstations due to malicious IFRAMES injected into legitimate
web pages via SQL injection attacks, misuse of standard ports for data
exfiltration and other command and control traffic, malicious
JavaScript obfuscation, and other difficult to detect techniques.
These cases are real, and are just two examples of the kinds of
threats organizations are dealing with today that can lead to losses
of millions of dollars, personal identities, years of research and
priceless classified records.

   During the Webcast, Schwartz will review what is critically at
stake for companies in each of these cases, and how the two
organizations solved these tough network security problems by
implementing NetWitness' extensible NextGen monitoring infrastructure
and highly customizable analytic and alerting applications.

   What: A complementary Webcast where attendees will learn how to
effectively find invisible threats on their network and stop them from
reoccurring.
