Your Network Security Isn't Good Enough Anymore
Today’s threats—and networks—are dynamic. Unfortunately, most security offered to date has been static—leaving you blind to the network.

In this seminar, Martin Roesch, Founder and CTO of Sourcefire® and Creator of Snort® will clearly show why today’s network security isn’t getting the job done. He will point out why network security must be intelligent to be effective—providing full network visibility, relevant context, and automated impact assessment and IPS tuning. Mr. Roesch will also show why network security must adapt to dynamic networks and threats in real time. Finally, he will share some of his vision on where network security is heading in the future.

Your network security solution may be new, but chances are it is based on outdated assumptions. How can you truly protect your network if you can’t see what is running on it, don’t know what to protect, and can’t identify the threats facing you?

Don’t you owe it to yourself and your organization to attend this seminar and then audit your network security capabilities? Please select the date below to register.

Enterprise Threat Management (ETM): Bringing Security Together Through Intelligence
Archived webcast | presented by David Thomason, Sourcefire's Director of Security Engineering
While IT security spending has been on the increase in recent years, unfortunately so have vulnerabilities and successful attacks. Enterprises are still being infected with undetected, targeted malware—evading traditional perimeter and host defenses. Professional hackers are in it for the profit now and are creating sophisticated ways to steal data without being detected. Employees are unintentionally—and intentionally—creating new vulnerabilities all the time. Just throwing more money at the IT security problem is no longer the solution. As a result, more and more risk, compliance, and security professionals are turning to a new holistic, security approach which unifies IPS, Network Behavior Analysis (NBA), Network Access Control (NAC), and Vulnerability Assessment technologies—through intelligence—under one management console. This approach is called "Enterprise Threat Management (ETM)." By providing actionable threat, endpoint, network, and user intelligence, the Sourcefire 3D System delivers continuous ETM and compliance enforcement. It also determines the potential risk a threat specifically has to your network—allowing you to easily prioritize the daily flood of security alerts and identify the most critical events. You spend your time on the events that may impact your organization, not chasing false positives and negatives. With ETM and the Sourcefire 3D System, you get effective and efficient network security before, during, and after an attack. access the webcast
