FRIENDLY FIRE: Protecting your network from its own endpoints

ABOUT THIS WHITE PAPER

Date Published:
27 OCT 2004

About the White Paper:
This paper examines how a new breed of network attacks leverages endpoints and takes advantage of 'normal' user behavior to execute and spread. Traditional endpoint security solutions such as personal firewalls and anti-virus are insufficient to stop them. Endpoint security is no longer a matter of protecting the endpoint itself; it's now about protecting the entire network from the attacks that can be introduced through compromised endpoints.
