Perimeter security is changing fast

Perimeter security is changing fast

Most security solutions today are built around attempting to protect the vulnerability of the PC and, or the server, by attempting to keep “bad” things outside of the network security perimeter. But, with the changing and disappearing perimeter - security now needs to be intrinsic in every system and for every user.

Is reactive patching the answer to protecting against known vulnerabilities?

Is reactive patching the answer to protecting against known vulnerabilities?

The time in which it takes hackers to write malicious code to exploit a known vulnerability is rapidly shrinking. The appearance of the Sasser worm in the shortest time ever, just 18 days between the revealing of a Microsoft vulnerability and the beginning of an attack, marks a new low point in the fight against cyber crime. With the protective window of opportunity getting ever smaller, the task of patching vulnerable software is becoming an increasingly endless one.
