[Unit 42 explains](http://bit.ly/1wTy9i1) how best to protect your network from the I2P communication used by Dyre and CryptoWall 3.0.

Yiftach Keshet [details](http://bit.ly/1BSpQG4) how Palo Alto Networks Traps protects enterprises from zero-day CVE-2015-0313.

[Unit 42 analyzes Filmkan](http://bit.ly/1zcpfgm), a mysterious Turkish botnet that grows through Facebook and has potentially infected over 100,000 users.

The enterprise security event of the year is happening this March 30 -- April 1 in Las Vegas -- will you be there? [Check out the latest additions](http://bit.ly/1zGWjRi) to the conference program and find out how to solve your toughest security challenges at Ignite.

In partnership with MeriTalk, we developed a "health check" for U.S. federal government agencies \& surveyed 300 U.S. Federal IT managers to understand security issues that are top of mind in their data center plans. [Check out the results](http://bit.ly/1BZeFOm), and remember, the threats to federal systems will only continue to grow, so [don't let security be a roadblock to your government data center modernization](http://bit.ly/1zcxKrP).

Nir Zuk, Founder \& CTO, appeared on [Risky Business](http://bit.ly/1DCH5gZ) to chat about disrupting the endpoint security market the same way Palo Alto Networks disrupted the firewall market in our early days.

[Arnaud Kopp, CTO for Southern Europe, talks](http://bit.ly/16iqO5U) cybersecurity trends and how to employ a prevention-based approach to protecting critical interests in enterprise and government at the International Forum on Cybersecurity in Lille, France.

How well do you know your zero days and APTs? [Take the challenge](http://bit.ly/1CgBCO6) where knowledge of the worst threats out there could win you great prizes.
