The classic approach to securing data by protecting the perimeter
worked well in an environment of strictly wired networks and
fixed storage devices. In today's open environment - where mobile
storage, wireless access, and attachable devices are ubiquitous
- securing data is a new challenge.
One of the key threats to sensitive data today is malware.
And, given that over 70% of malware damage originates from within
the firewall – it's clear that authorized users are key initiators
of the majority of these breaches.
Whether malicious or accidental – the results of malware
attacks are often damaging and can be devastating. Even the
most innocuous devices connected to endpoints by authorized
users, like MP3 players and disks on key, may be unknowingly
infected with viruses, Trojan Horses, worms, and other malware
- which can move into enterprise networks upon connection.
