WASHINGTON and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 4 / -- GARTNER IT SECURITY SUMMIT -- Mazu Networks, the leading(1) provider of Network Behavior Analysis (NBA) systems today announced the second part of its white paper series which focuses on the four core areas in which NBA can provide significant value to network security. These areas include: detecting unauthorized activities, users, applications or hosts; resolving incidents 7-10x faster; detecting/stopping internal threats and malware; and establishing/enforcing policies to reduce the cost of compliance.

Mazu Networks commences the security series with the release of its first paper titled, "Four Things You Don't Know about Your Network that Put You at Risk." With most companies lacking visibility into what is occurring inside their network, they are unable to identify threats. The latest paper from Mazu Networks explains how NBA provides enterprises with the continuous global visibility needed to identify unauthorized activities, users, applications and hosts placing their network at risk.

"With Internet criminals continuing to celebrate hacking successes such as the TJX breach, it is clear that enterprises across the industry spectrum are not doing enough to protect their critical network assets," said Paul Brady, CEO, Mazu Networks. "The reality is that outdated security practices have left organizations, and the information they are entrusted to protect, vulnerable to compromise. Through our security series, we provide readers with the information they need to update their practices to effectively protect their critical services and intellectual property."

The additional white papers Mazu Networks will release on the network security benefits of NBA include:

o "Resolve Security Incidents 7-10x Faster" - This paper will provide

o "Establishing/Enforcing Policies to Reduce the Cost of Compliance" -
This paper will provide information on how the Mazu NBA system can

with growing industry regulations.

The security white papers follow part one of the series, which focused on the network operations benefits of NBA.

These areas include: troubleshooting performance issues 7-10x faster; detecting behavior changes that affect performance before they disrupt users; analyzing WAN usage to improve availability and reduce cost and optimizing and accelerating infrastructure change.
