2022New York, NY, November 18, 2014 -- /EPR NETWORK/ -- According to research firm Novetta Solutions, Axiom, a part of the Chinese Intelligence Apparatus, is main responsible for directing highly sophisticated cyber espionage operations against numerous Fortune 500 companies, journalists, environmental and pro-democracy groups, software companies, academic institutions, and government agencies worldwide for at least six years. Novetta’s coordinated effort performed the first ever-private sponsored interdiction against a sophisticated state sponsored advanced threat group. Their efforts detected and cleaned 43,000 separate installations of Axiom tools, including 180 of their top tier implants.
The organization responsible for directing Axiom, according to NewsFactor, appears targeting specific industries, including electronics and integrated circuit manufacturers, networking equipment manufacturers, Internet-based services companies, software vendors (particularly in the Asia-Pacific area), law firms with an international or M&A footprint, telecom companies, manufacturing conglomerates, venture capital firms, energy companies, meteorological services companies, cloud computing providers and pharmaceutical manufacturers. Yet, a spokesperson for the Chinese embassy dismissed the report's claims as "fictitious."

About Cyber Security World Conference 2015:
Cyber security is never again a term to ignore for individuals or corporations. The daily activities of all Americans, the country’s global economic prominence and worldwide security rely on a safe and resilient cyberspace. Unfortunately, the number of cyber-attacks has increased dramatically over the last years, exposing confidential personal and business data, disrupting critical operations, and imposing exorbitantly high costs on the economy overall.
Just recently, J.P. Morgan Chase, America’s largest commercial bank with $2.39 trillion in assets, announced that about 76 million households and 7 million of small-business customers had been affected by a cyber attack in one of the most sweeping disclosed global breaches. The bank said the unknown attackers stole customers’ contact information, which included names, email addresses, phone numbers and addresses, affected an amount equivalent to two-thirds of American households.
A brief walk down memory lane of some the biggest recent cyber-attacks now include Adobe Systems, Automated Data Processing, Citigroup, E*Trade Financial, Fidelity Investments, Home Depot, HSBC, Nasdaq OMX, Neiman Marcus, Target and Wal-mart. It is not unlikely to consider that the information of every American has already been compromised in any of these publicly disclosed attacks.
Renowned information security experts and innovative service providers will present at Cyber Security World Conference 2015 their latest thinking to hundreds of senior executives focused on protecting enterprises and governmental agencies. Topics that Cyber Security World Conference 2015 will discuss include:
-Cyber Security Megatrends Security Professionals can’t Ignore Today
-Cyber Security and its Role in the Overall Security of the United States
-How Hackers Really Operate to Obtain Financial Data
-Key Considerations about Security in the Internet of Things Age
-Strengthening the Security of Industry-wide Technology Infrastructure
