AusCERT 2013 update
In this presentation, we'll take a brief look at the makeup of AusCERT in 2013 before taking a dive into the world of big data analytics. The AusCERT Coordination Centre Team's research into the Carna Botnet (Internet Census 2012) will be presented along with a glimpse into AusCERT's broader efforts in the detection and response to various Internet-based threats. Additionally AusCERT will present a brief case study into an emerging threat affecting small to medium enterprises - targeted ransomware. Finally we'll conclude with some practical information security tips for system administrators and computer users.
