Why Layered Security Strategies Don’t Work

Feb 10, 2016 at 4:00:00 PM

 

Every year, enterprises spend record levels of money on new IT security technology – yet major breaches and compromises are more prevalent than ever. The concept of “layered security” – in which enterprises support a wide variety of security technologies in order to discourage attackers – doesn’t seem to be working.

It’s time to rethink IT security – not just the technology, but the way enterprises approach it from a strategic, architectural perspective. There are ways for organizations to build a comprehensive set of defenses – a security architecture – that can not only discourage attackers, but actually prevent them from penetrating your IT environment.

In this webcast, you will learn some of the basics of building a next-generation IT security architecture, including:

- How the foundational architecture of a next-gen firewall and security platform “matters” in enabling the business, and protecting it against a wide variety of attacks.
- How the architecture enables unique and specific security scenarios.
- How the architecture supports a prevention-oriented approach.
