White Papers Examine Innovative Approaches to Preventing Data Theft
BREA, Calif., April 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Apani Networks, the leading enterprise network security software provider focused on securing inside the network perimeter, today released two new white papers that address how to secure data in an era of network de-perimeterization and how to leverage virtual network segmentation, or security zoning, to achieve defense in depth. "Security Design Without Perimeters" and "A Software Approach to Security Zoning" are both available as a free download from Apani's website at apani.com/whitepapers.
"Our customers tell us the hardened perimeter walls designed to keep hackers and intruders from penetrating the network are becoming increasingly porous and less secure," said David M. Lynch, vice president of marketing, Apani Networks. "The current network security model of using a strong perimeter to keep outsiders 'out' isn't enough. This new series of white papers should help IT security professionals better understand the importance of securing their trusted network environments from the inside out."
The papers discuss how many organizations lack an effective perimeter to control access, ensure privacy and security, and protect systems, applications and data on multiple levels. Apani advocates a software approach to network segmentation through security zoning as a means of achieving powerful security inside the network perimeter. By levering software to segregate a network into security zones, IT managers can easily overlap or reconfigure security zones through a centralized management interface, saving time and resources over alternative security methods. By employing a custom security policy set, security zones can achieve effective, in-depth defense inside the organization's network perimeter.
"It is getting harder for organizations to control access to critical data and resources with both insiders and outsiders coexisting within the network perimeter," Lynch adds. "The challenge is how to best prevent sophisticated, targeted attacks focused on financial gain. Today's security and networking professionals can enhance their security profiles by complementing existing perimeter defenses with added security within the perimeter itself."
Apani's solution to de-perimeterization and security zoning is EpiForce, the only solution that can handle the short term and long term issues involved with de-perimeterization and the establishment of easy to manage security zones.
These white papers, and other white paper previously developed by Apani, are available for immediate download at apani.com/whitepapers.
