FEATURE: NETWORK SECURITY
THE INTEGRATION BETWEEN THE ENDPOINT AND THE NETWORK SECURITY DEVICES IS ACTUALLY THE SECRET SAUCE AS NO SYSTEM CAN STAND ON ITS OWN. UNDERSTANDING HOW OPEN A PLATFORM IS, AND HOW YOU CAN INTEGRATE BOTH FORENSICS, REPORTING AND AUTOMATED RESPONSE IS HOW YOU CREATE A REAL SECURITY ECOSYSTEM
complexity of attacks that we now see, open interfaces and the seamless integration of products is essential as tackling new threats calls for bestin-class point products that work together.
Finally, to truly secure their networks, IT teams must grow beyond their reliance on solutions alone. The advancement of cyber threats means that to stay protected, you need to develop and maintain a holistic security program wherein technology, products, systems, procedures, processes, policies and people are all taken into account.
Such programs can be extremely challenging for many organizations, and they should therefore ask themselves is outsourcing parts of these programs to trusted IT security partner could be the correct solution.
In the end, every organisation needs to understand that the economy of cybercrime is such that if you made it difficult for the hackers, they will most likely go somewhere else!
