How to Defeat Advanced Malware is a concise introduction to the concept of micro-virtualization. The book provides current facts and figures that prove detection- based security products have become ineffective. A simple strategy is then presented that both leverages the opportunities presented by Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and protects enterprise end users against advanced malware. The book concludes with case studies demonstrating how hardware- isolated micro-VMs are helping Fortune 500 financial service providers defeat advanced malware.

This book is primarily designed for infosec professionals, consultants, network administrators, CIO’s, CTO’s, CISO’s and senior executives who work within the financial industry and are responsible for their company’s endpoint protection.
