WHITE PAPER:
Network Access Management: Stopping Intruders and Worms before...
The security of any enterprise network is always in flux. It changes every time a user logs in, launches an application, or accesses data. But security defenses, such as firewall ACLs and VLANs, are static and incapable of responding to changing conditions and threat levels. As a result, illicit data access remains unnoticed and unmanaged, and worms and viruses routinely sweep past perimeter defenses. Despite recent security investments, enterprise networks and key business operations remain at risk.
To secure networks effectively, enterprises must augment their static network infrastructures with new dynamic capabilities. These capabilities include screening devices and users before they access the network, restricting users to authorized resources, continually inspecting traffic for new threats, and enforcing security policies 24/7 on all traffic. |

WHITE PAPER:
Best Practices for Enterprise Network Security
Perimeter defenses simply do not provide the comprehensive, round-the-clock security that today's enterprises need in order to defeat attacks that could appear at any time from any device. Rather than rely on perimeter defenses, enterprises need security that is built into the network itself—security that is part of the switching fabric that carries all traffic, benign and malicious.
This paper offers a series of insights and best practices that IT executives can use to create such a secure switching fabric. By following these practices and adopting the Network Access Control technology described here, enterprises can make the network itself the most effective security tool yet. |

WHITE PAPER:
Network Access Management: Moving from Implicit to Explicit Permission
The explosion of fast, reliable network connectivity in the form of the Internet and the enterprise LAN over the last 20 years has transformed the world of business, creating new opportunities and making organizations fast, agile, and efficient. The challenge for corporate IT departments is to meet the ever increasing demands of an "always connected" user base that includes employees, partners, and customers, while keeping networks and the intellectual assets they carry secure.
Unfortunately, the combination of powerful, portable end users' computers and the corporate dependency on networks for mission-critical operations is challenging traditional models of security. Threats are no longer isolated to a few attacks launched from outsiders, but may originate from our most trusted employees. Viruses, worms, "Warhol worms," Trojan horses, DoS attacks-the range and number of attacks that can be launched from within the security perimeter are multiplying at a bewildering rate. While staving these off hostile attacks, network managers are also responsible for enforcing a host of other security policies, ensuring that users do not misuse network resources, wrongly distribute intellectual assets, or violate industry regulations. |
