Intrusion Detection & Prevention White Paper
Detecting and Mitigating Security Risks
Executive Summary
Today's applications are sometimes dependent on other networked applications, bringing additional complexity and security vulnerabilities to the enterprise. Mitigating risks and vulnerabilities requires continuous scanning of internal and external traffic streams for unauthorized users and malware.
In addition to WAN-centric detection services, enterprises should institute firewall access control and detection scanning on their local area networks to protect against intrusions that might originate in-house.
Taking a centralized approach to enforcing policies, correlating events and automating actions helps to manage the entire security landscape.
