Why is your network firewall falling short?

Why is your network firewall falling short?

Your network is secure, your servers are safe, and you’ve done everything to protect your network, corporate assets and intellectual property. You have a network firewall, so your perimeter is secure. Your network devices and servers are only accessible through your corporate VPN via two-factor authentication, and all external ports are blocked to non-authenticated traffic.

Ignore application security at your peril!

Ignore application security at your peril!

With malicious attacks at an all time high, the emphasis put on securing the corporate network has led to many companies investing in technologies such as firewalls and intrusion detection systems.

Why IPS won't break your network

Why IPS won't break your network

Back in 2003 Gartner declared Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) as dead. Whether this is true, it is an increasing reality that intrusion protection or prevention systems are increasingly becoming a part of many company's networks. While IDS may be waning, IPS (Intrusion Protection Systems) are on the up, yet there is still a pervasive feeling that such technology can cause a network to break or malfunction.

Pull on your chief executive’s shoes

Information security professionals are great at taking orders. Business leaders tell us what they want and we'll respond. We'll write rules and policies for use of email, the internet or remote access and we'll act as policemen when these rules are breached. But there's a real need for security professionals to step a little further outside this box.

Don't buy your way out of trouble

The problem with most security companies is they are very product driven - you name your security problem, and they can sell you a product to fix it. Whilst it's always tempting to think that you can fix a problem by buying something from a catalogue, the reality is often very different.
