Lumension. Defense-in-Depth.
Traditional IT Security focused on securing the perimeter—using technologies like firewalls and antivirus to secure the network.
This approach worked well when we all drove into one office to work on company desktops and where corporate data was securely contained inside. But we live and work in a radically different world today. Our enterprise is more mobile and more collaborative than ever before. And data and employees have moved beyond the castle walls to drive a new level of productivity and competiveness demanded from the interconnected information economy.
Information fuels the 21st century and it's highly sought after, from cybercriminals to competitive nation states. These well funded and heavily resourced adversaries focus their efforts on exploiting your greatest security weaknesses. Not the castle walls but where your defenses are weakest. Where your users and the endpoint meet. Organizations, in turn, are experiencing increasing and untold amounts of data loss, operational costs, and even potential physical damage as malware has become weaponized. So how do we protect our information that drives the core value of our organization in an increasingly virtual and mobile world?
No longer can traditional IT security strategy or technologies save the day or the data. With this new environment comes a requirement for a new way of thinking. How do you secure your data and reduce risk where it matters most? You start where your users, your data and your endpoints meet.Using a defense-in-depth strategy, Lumension delivers the solutions required for meeting today's Advanced Persistent Threats.
We start by reducing the attackable surface area, as 90% of attacks seek to exploit the low-hanging fruit of a known vulnerability through patch and configuration management.Then we stop un-trusted change from taking place with application control.
Next, we use data encryption to protect stored data in the event of a lost or stolen endpoint.
Next we manage the flow of data onto and off the endpoint through device control.
And, we protect against widely known and fast spreading malware through Antivirus.
Lumension's defense in depth approach to endpoint security is the only multi-layered technology solution that utilizes one common platform architecture. Every level works together to provide a total defense against modern threats without increasing complexity or cost for IT.
