Secure Networks and Compliance
The issues that keep most IT and IT security practitioners up at night are the theft of their organization’s intellectual property, including research and development, business strategies, industrial processes, customer and product base. Another target of network attackers is confidential information used to obtain authentication credentials to infiltrate networks and enterprise systems.
In the data center today, several major trends are happening in parallel, with each representing a fundamental change in terms of how IT is managed.
For the security teams responsible for safeguarding corporate IT assets, these trends present a host of challenges, necessitating several new capabilities, approaches and tools to ensure ongoing, effective security.
The enterprise threat landscape continues to evolve, with increasingly complex and malicious attacks being directed at the corporate network. Additionally, threats are emerging and spreading more quickly than ever, exploiting the growing number of possible points of attack. These newer points of vulnerability are caused by increased user mobility, remote locations, and the number of devices accessing the network.
The continued rollout of new applications also poses incremental risks for new attacks. For enterprise customers, these problems require additional diligence on the part of IT groups to manage threats. Tasks such as ongoing research into threat trends, management of a complex spectrum of network devices and critical applications, and ensuring service-level agreements (SLAs), create a reactive environment in enterprise IT organizations that can overburden an already struggling IT staff.
In today’s operating business environment, barely a day passes where we do not hear of a new exploit, virus, trojan, worm, data or security breach. Additionally, the organizational footprint continues to expand which pose additional challenges. Many enterprises face a more distributed network architecture than ever before with remote and satellite offices with global locations. With consultants, vendors, partners and guests accessing network resources, security has become a top of mind issue both for IT and business lines in the organization.
The intelligence and the capabilities of the hackers and their tools on one side, and the capabilities of the security and defense systems used in order to protect the networks and the data which are travelling on them are in constant and never-ending war.
External and internal vulnerabilities affect every business regardless of size and every vertical.
Shortcomings of any sort as well as complacency in general resulting in negligence of security measures are merciless and will inevitably result in substantial risks and damages which will cause unexpected, unbudgeted and totally unforeseen financial losses and costs.
The network-items deserving protection and security provisions are grouped here:
The protection and the security of the NewGen computer networks must not be static. It has to be Dynamic, in order to be able to adapt continuously to any given situation at any time, under any circumstance.
Dynamic Security
The legacy security model protecting fully the central computational systems and computers as well as the systems within a well defined perimeter (including affiliates, subsidiaries, outlets, etc) belongs definitely to the past. This model – CASTLE MODEL- is not able to protect effectively and efficiently new type of needs and infrastructures like CLOUD, Mobility, BYOD, etc.
The new Security Model is multi-level, caters for Virtual infrastructures and it also can authenticate and authorize applications versus users and serve them according to the rights and privileges assigned to them, taking into account the type of device they are using at that specific moment, according to their current geographical location, the network they are using, as well as a myriad of other criteria, all decided by central administration – the HOTEL MODEL.
At United-Telecom, we are building and offering to our customers only needs-based security solutions addressing their concerns regarding the security, the integrity, the legality, the compliance towards obligations imposed on them by Regulation Authorities and others, etc of their data networking infrastructures.
As enterprises adopt cloud apps across virtually every business function, integration across apps is critical. App vendors have built ecosystems solution that enable enterprises to execute business more efficiently, facilitate important workflows, and make better decisions. The statement “The sum of the whole is greater than the sum of the parts” describes the paradigm well. This has given rise to ecosystems, or groups of satellite cloud apps that orbit popular “anchor tenant” apps.
Each of these anchor tenant apps has hundreds of ecosystem partners. For example, we observe active usage of an average 28 Box, 20 Dropbox, 19 Google Apps, and 26 Salesforce ecosystem apps.
Organizations that are concerned about protecting sensitive data in the cloud need to go beyond securing the anchor tenant Apps and incorporate those apps’ ecosystems into their cloud app monitoring and policy regimens.
When our solutions for threat management and managed security technologies are bundled, they provide a comprehensive and highly scalable security functionality that delivers exceptional value to our customers. Exceptional, comprehensive functionality includes integrated security policy, network and device level management, virtualization of zones, routers, LANs and systems, and advanced access management and endpoint security.
