About the White Paper:
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. |
