    How Traditional Firewalls Fail Today's Networks

    If your company has a traditional firewall, it is probably jeopardizing your security and costing you money. Why? Firewalls are an essential part of network security, but most are very limited. They can close unneeded ports, apply routing rules to packets and fend off denial-of-service attacks. But they can't look inside packets to detect malware, identify hacker activity or help you manage what end users are doing on the Internet.

    Anatomy of a Cyber-Attack

    As the number and severity of cyber-crimes continues to grow, it's important to understand the steps cyber-criminals take to attack your network, the types of malware they use, and the tools you need to stop them. The basic steps of a cyber attack include reconnaissance (finding vulnerabilities); intrusion (actual penetration of the network); malware insertion (secretly leaving code behind); and clean-up (covering tracks).

    12 Things Effective Intrusion Prevention Systems Should Do

    The latest generation of exploits used to attack computer systems relies on extremely sophisticated evasion techniques to escape detection. The most serious of these attacks can provide the attacker with the ability to remotely initiate system-level commands. Today's intrusion prevention systems (IPS) provide advanced security intelligence and the ability to identify and block malware before it can enter your network so that you can defeat these sophisticated evasion techniques. To be effective, your IPS should be able to perform each of the functions listed in the following pages.

    Benefits of Deploying Dell SonicWALL WAN Acceleration with Dell EqualLogic Storage

    Data backup and replication processes between an enterprise organization's data center and remote replication sites can be significantly slowed in a wide area network (WAN). The effectiveness of WAN applications– including backup and recovery applications–often suffers due to overburdened bandwidth. If bandwidth is low, the resulting latency and packet loss over a WAN connection will adversely affect an enterprise's ability to quickly and efficiently achieve recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO) goals. Backup and replication operations over the WAN may be delayed and disrupted due to slow data replication and long queuing times that result from WAN bandwidth limitations. To get faster data replication and backup between remote sites and LAN like application performance over the WAN, more organizations are increasingly using Dell? EqualLogic PS Series iSCSI storage area networks (SANs) along with Dell SonicWALL? WAN Acceleration Appliance (WXA) solutions.

    Effective Security in a BYOD Environment

    For all of the hype around the consumerization of IT, the concept is really not new. After all, end users have been connecting to corporate networks from their own home-based PCs and laptops for years. However, what has changed is the virtual explosion in the number of mobile devices in use and the increasing desire by consumers to use their own devices for both business and personal purposes. In 2012, consumer research firm Nielsen reported that 50.4% of U.S. consumers now use a smartphone. This translates to more than 110 million smartphones (and climbing) in the U.S. alone.

    Why Protection and Performance Matter

    Performance and protection go hand-in-hand for Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs). Organizations should not have to sacrifice throughput and productivity for security. Outdated firewalls pose a serious security risk to organizations since they fail to inspect data payload of network packets. Many vendors tout Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) speeds only, but the real measure of security and performance is deep packet inspection throughput and effectiveness. To address this deficiency, many firewall vendors adopted the malware inspection approach used by traditional desktop anti-virus: buffer downloaded files, then inspect for malware. This method not only introduces significant latency and but also poses significant security risks since temporary memory storage can limit the maximum file size. Independent NSS Lab tests demonstrate that the SonicWALL® SuperMassive™ E10800 Next-Generation Firewall incorporating multi-core architecture and Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection® (RFDPI) overcome these limitations to provide enterprises with both extremely high-levels of protection and performance that they require.

    The Promises and Pitfalls of BYOD

    The Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend is in full swing, as enterprises are
    beginning to realize a number of benefits from letting employees choose the
    device they use to get their jobs done. According to the Computerworld
    “Consumerization of IT” study published in October 2011, about half of the 604
    respondents said their organizations allow employees to do work using their own
    devices either away from the office or at work. These companies know that by
    allowing employees to use personal devices they are improving productivity and
    job satisfaction. What's more, enterprises can significantly reduce costs as
    well as embrace the concept of virtual teams by leverag¬ing geographically
    dispersed talent. Businesses can also allow for flexible work hours by letting
    workers use their device of choice—be it a smartphone, tablet or laptop— any
    time, from anywhere.

    The Best Approach to VMware Virtual Machine Backups

    Due to continued industry’s increasing growth and adoption of server-virtualization, companies of all sizes benefit from these technology advantages. While each virtual host offers the benefits of powering multiple virtual machines that run various business applications on different operating platforms within a single physical server, the backup and recovery of these virtual infrastructures however can become very convoluted and costly if using legacy per-machine, per-agent-based approaches that were not optimally designed for virtual environments. In this webcast, we will examine some of the principle issues with the different backup approaches of virtual machines that exist today and discuss new technology options specifically designed for protecting VMware virtual machines.
