FEATURES, INSIGHTS // Network Security
It’s important we remember that IT security is essentially an asymmetric struggle. If we don’t adapt, we simply play into the hands of those who want to attack us.
There’s no single solution that’s going to resolve all your security woes and, therefore, the best defense remains a layered defense.
Many highly security-conscious organizations outside the Fed seem to equate continuous monitoring with “buy more live sensors.”
Without the internal and external safeguards working in conjunction, your vulnerability will spike and your performance will suffer as a by-product -- two things you can’t afford to have happen.
In order to win the war with today’s cybercriminals that are using the same attack vectors on a massive scale, a real-time, automated information platform that pre-empts ongoing attacks is an imperative.
Trust comes at a price. However, while IT security professionals understand this, they often treat trust as an afterthought. As a result, companies suffer the consequences in unexpected recovery costs and failed business relationships.
Even the most security diligent organizations realize that breaches are no longer a question of ‘if’ but a question of ‘when.’ Preparing for a cyber attack must include containing the damage and more rapidly restoring systems to trusted states.
Today’s businesses must be able to rapidly adapt to changing market conditions – to support a new venture, merger/acquisition, etc. As business needs change, so too must the underlying security policies.
As we define what may arguably be the “next big thing” for networking, did we leave network security as an afterthought? What are the new considerations for security in a software-defined network?
While Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks bring the promise of relieving traffic jams for mobile operators, they also entail new security risks.
