RSA Research Unit Hunts Cyber-Threats ‘That Don’t Have Names’

At the Black Hat 2012 conference scheduled for July 21-26 in Las Vegas, cybersecurity firms are sharing information on how to keep up with rapidly evolving threats. One researcher says it’s not enough to fight known threats but to also track down the developing threats as they just start to emerge.

“We focus on threats that don’t have names,” said Will Gragido, senior manager of the Advanced Threats Intelligence team, a newly-formed unit at the cybersecurity firm RSA. “We bring to light threats that are otherwise unknown.”
