  New ways to protect against malware appear daily. The new techniques sound like a panacea for stopping all malware, but each technique has advantages and disadvantages. Learn about the tradeoffs of machine learning, application control, exploit prevention, and behavioral analysis and forensics, as well as how cross-generational blending of techniques can protect you against ever-evolving threats.

• Securing Serverless Applications In The Cloud
  Mark Nunnikhoven, Trend Micro vice president of cloud research

  Serverless applications offer a number of advantages, the biggest one being freedom from a number of standard operational tasks. And while you may not need to do basic ops tasks, you still have a responsibility to keep your data safe and secure. Serverless designs require a completely new approach to development, and securing these applications requires new concepts, processes and tools.
