Lancope® PRESS RELEASE
ISSA Webcast Features Behavior-based Network Security With Industry Experts Rebecca Bace and Lancope’s Adam Powers
WHO: Adam Powers, Director of Technology, Advanced Technology Group, Lancope Rebecca Bace, president/CEO of Infidel, Inc. and author of "Intrusion Detection”
WHAT: Role of Behavior-based Monitoring in the Modern Enterprise
WHERE: Online event at http://viavid.net/dce.aspx?sid=000025CD
WHY: As technology continues to evolve, so does the nature of information security threats. Initially, information security focused on centralized computing architectures, where illicit access occurred by authorized users overstepping their permissions or outsiders accessing systems via modems. Over time, problems began to rise. First, on the mainframe, then on the more intelligent PC, followed by the TCP-IP-based network, and then on the applications running on those PCs bridged by the Internet.
As each new type of threat emerges, yet another complex security technology is created to contain/prevent it. Past experience and current technology limitations force today’s security administrators to look to behavioral anomaly systems, like StealthWatch by Lancope, that provide visualization tools, alarming technology, and mitigation techniques. Behavior-based systems tend to step back from the complexity of deploying multiple inline and host-based defenses, relying on analysis of network behavior derived from lightweight monitoring technologies (e.g. NetFlow, sFlow, etc.).
Key Points:
- What are the essential layers for effective Network Security?
- How do you scale IDS across sizeable enterprises?
- What is Network Behavior Anomaly Detection?
- StealthWatch System overview
