The Dynamic World of Threat Detection, Containment & Response

Regardless of size, network security is a top priority for all organizations. Networks are more vulnerable than ever due to the inherent risk of facilitating remote access in conjunction with the volume of traffic and the speed at which that traffic is flowing. As organizations migrate from 1Gb to 10Gb and beyond, network security tools struggle to keep up with these increasing connection speeds as the tools may not be designed to process the volume of packet traffic going through the protected link. Therefore, it is vital to implement security architectures and strategies that not only prevent security breaches, but can also dynamically react to potential threats and scale to meet future needs.

Next Generation Threat Protection

The new generation of threats has exposed the need for next-generation protection against advanced threats. Over 95% of companies already have compromised systems within their networks. Why? Advanced malware has eroded the effectiveness of traditional defenses, leaving a hole in the network. Designed to use signatures to block known threats, traditional, and next-generation firewalls, IPS, AV, and gateways do nothing when zero-day, targeted APT malware attacks.

To fill this gap in network defenses, a new generation of security protections has emerged, ready to do battle against advanced malware, zero-day, and targeted APT attacks. These next-generation security systems must plug the hole left by firewalls, IPS, AV, and Web gateways by applying advanced, coordinated techniques to identify, confirm and block the activities of next-generation threats.

Preparing Your Network for the Mobility Explosion: How to Turn BYOD into Productivity

The real drain on IT resources when evaluating a networking vendor solution is not simply getting devices onto the network – it’s what to do with them once they’re there. Having a way to securely connect and monitor managed and unmanaged devices, reporting on security compliance, ensuring the devices can use available services and assets and are restricted from those which they should not access, and making sure the devices don’t overwhelm available network resources are the real game changers for a successful BYOD implementation.

This session will discuss the necessary connectivity and productivity requirements in order to ensure your network is truly ready for the mobility explosion, including an overview of necessary access, authentication, and security options as well as focusing on the equally essential features required to ensure your network is prepared to make all devices attached to it productive and compliant.

The Ten Things Your Firewall Must Do

The network firewall, which serves as the foundation of every organization's security infrastructure, has been impacted by massive changes in the last few years.   Traditional stateful inspection firewalls, even with a bunch of additional security appliances or blades like IPS, proxy, URL filtering, and DLP tacked on, is simply not effective in today's application and threat landscape.  Gartner and other industry observers have noted the need for next-generation firewall – one that matches innovation and integration, not just piling existing, port-based network security functions into the same box.

Gartner recommends enterprises migrate from traditional firewalls and IPS to next-generation firewalls at the next refresh opportunity.  But how?  Given the fact that everybody claims next-generation firewall functionality, how can enterprises discern which products are the best fit for their organizations?  At a high level, concepts like safe enablement, high performance, and coverage for all users (regardless of location), are important.  This presentation will delve into specific examples of the kinds of features and functions that deliver those higher-level benefits, and the business justification and technical details for each.  Furthermore, these "10 things your next firewall must do" can be carried out throughout the evaluation process – into test plans and requests for proposal.

Specific learning objectives:

• Why traditional firewalls are no longer effective
• The Top 10 requirements for your next firewall purchase
• How to evaluate vendors and build your test plan
