There is a new risk

The new approach

Top Information Security Concerns

Protection and Control

Cost Containment Staffing

• Keep threats out

• Control sensitive data

• Enforce compliance

• Do more with less

• Quicker time to benefit

• CAPEX v OPEX

• Limited staff, expertise

• Innovation vs. managing infrastructure

Evolving Threat Landscape

90% of breaches in 2009 involved organized crime targeting corporate information

90% of all email traffic is spam and the Web has become the primary vector for malware delivery

11x increase in unique malware samples in the last two years seen by Symantec

Sophistication of high end threats is evolving rapidlyContinued growth in targeted threats which attack specific companies, persons or systems

Evolving Threat LandscapeNew “Zero Hour” Threats continue to increase

New malicious code signaturesDriven by:

Increase in new threats leading to failure of traditional signature based protection

Readily available malware toolkits

Specialization of highly skilled participants

Huge sums of money$£¥€

It was annoying once….

New Web Threats

Facebook Delivered Viruses

Point solutions leave gaps – multi-protocol converged threat analysis and unrivaled accuracy are essential

Early warning systems were built for the old style mass mailing viruses not targeted attacks or smaller attacks from thousands of attackers

A new threat landscape requires a different approach

90%Of all breaches are now driven by highly resourced organized

criminals

What happens inside…Traditional Email Security

• Emails will have to be received by the device to be processed– Wasted resources and bandwidth

• Majority Signature Based– Most use the same signatures as their desktop AV products

• Some have IP reputation filtering– White listing/black listing based on IP address only

• Will rely on updates by the vendor to keep up to date– Window of vulnerability, time taken for updates to be developed and

delivered

• Will have to increase physical resources once volume of mail increases
