Westboro, MA (PRWEB) April 20, 2009 -- Top Layer Security, a leading global provider of Network Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), today announced that Ken Pappas, vice president of marketing and security strategist, will discuss the current cyber threat landscape and outline how a defense-in-depth security approach involving multiple, complimentary network security technologies can provide the best protection at the RSA Conference, taking place April 20-24, 2009 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, Calif.

In a panel session, "Defense in-Depth: Why There is No Silver Bullet Against Today's Threats," moderated by Forrester Research's John Kindervag, Top Layer will be joined by executives from ArcSight, Netronome Systems and Tenable Network Security to discuss the latest battle against attacks on networks in 2009 to prevent threats of today and tomorrow. The panel will explain why the best defense is not a single technology solution, but rather a defense-in-depth approach that creates an ecosystem of technologies, including Intrusion Prevention Systems, Firewalls, Network Access Control, Event Correlation, SIEM and others.

Ken Pappas has traveled across North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East to educate enterprises on network threats. Ken has spoken on various security topics to many industry and government groups, including the Department of Homeland Security, Office of Cyber Security, ENTELEC, Higher Education Consortia, National Retailers Association, InfraGard, SIM International, and many others, as well as respected media outlets such as The Wall Street Journal and NBC TV.
