Silver Tail wins Finovate Best of Show!

Silver Tail is pleased to announce that we were chosen Best of Show at Finovate in New York last week!  This is in addition to our Best of Show award at Finovate Startup in April. 

For those of you who don’t know, Finovate showcases hot new technology relevant to the financial sector.  Presenters at this year’s conference included Fidelity, Intuit, and Fiserv.  There were some amazing presentations which is why this award is even more flattering. 

We demo’d both Forensics and Mitigation and the audience got to see not only how Man in the Browser impacts Aunt Sally, but how we can detect it and stop it.

The video of our demo isn’t posted yet, but when it is, we’ll be sure to include a link here so you can see it.

Detecting Man in the Browser Attacks: Silver Tail’s first webinar

For those of you who missed it, Silver Tail had our first webinar.  The subject was detecting Man in the Browser attacks.  We covered the definition of Man in the Browser, why websites should be thinking about Man in the Browser now, and showed a Man in the Browser attack from three perspectives: the consumer, the web server, and page flows.

If you are interested, we recorded the webinar.  You can get to the recording through this link.  We’ve gotten great feedback on the webinar, so we think you’ll find it interesting.

New Webinar: Detecting Man-in-the-Browser

Join us for a Webinar on July 14.

The proliferation of authentication models, device fingerprinting, IP geo-location mapping, and other security technologies has raised the stakes in using stolen online accounts.  Bad actors need to find a way to access users’ accounts without being detected by the systems currently in place.  The rise in malware infections has created a unique opportunity for these bad actors: The ability to access the account through the victim’s own web browser, IP address, and session.  These “Man-in-the-Browser” attacks are extremely difficult to detect and prevent, and are increasing with the spread of malware.

Laura Mather, Founder & VP, Product Marketing at Silver Tail Systems, will define Man-in-the-Browser attacks, explain how they are perpetrated, show a demonstration of an attack, and show the ways these types of attacks can be detected.

Join us for the first session in our Silver Tail Webinar Series, “Detecting Man-in-the-Browser Attacks”.
