Five years ago, life was much easier for security professionals. They could collectively focus on compliance and deploy mature controls like firewalls and anti-virus to defend against largely unsophisticated attackers. Security professionals now face much more sophisticated adversaries and tactics. This new
class of...
Next-generation network security devices provide comprehensive contextual awareness and deeper analysis of network traffic. This complete contextual
awareness, combined with security automation, provides the visibility and agility necessary to keep pace with today's fluid IT environment, increasing network speeds and...
This leading U.S.-based utility is consistently under regular attack from advanced malware. Its existing endpoint protection product was detecting and eliminating some threats. However, the recurrence frequency and unexplained
network activity indicated that it wasn't providing a view of the
full infection, nor...
Although the industry acknowledges that advanced malware attacks require new and innovative solutions to detect and remediate, far too many organizations default to focusing the entirety of their efforts on detection, whether traditional endpoint protection suites or new "silver bullet" defenses. That is a sure path...
Simple fact - governments across the globe have been victims of attacks in one form or another. The frequency of these attacks has varied and the motives range from a self-deluded intention of doing good for society, to monetary or political gain or for no other reason than to demonstrate the ability to pull off such...
