Simon Edwards discusses how to test the potentially untestable.

Like the term or loathe it, APTs have given rise to a new generation of security products that protect against these more targeted and sometimes more advanced threats.

presented

a paper, written together with Richard Ford (

Florida Institute of Technology

) and Gabor Szappanos (

Sophos

), on how to effectively test such technologies.
