Unified Threat Management Appliances and Identity-Based Security: The Next Level in Network Security

Tags: phishing, spyware, database, ip, data

Overview Enterprises, regardless of size, are increasingly realizing that their computer systems are vulnerable to as many security threats from within the company as from without. These insider threats lead to security loopholes created out of user ignorance and malicious intent with unauthorized access, leading to loss of data confidentiality, bandwidth abuse, and more. Outsider threats such as spyware, phishing, and pharming are targeting individual users to carry out attacks from within the enterprise. In addition, there is increasing regulatory pressure to secure sensitive data, such as customer information, from threats such as a blended attack that targets a vulnerable user or IP address in an attempt to gain control of a client machine and access the corporate database or perpetuate an attack.
