Securing the Core

• The four key components of every smart NAC solution
• How to turn IDS and IPS into risk reduction tools instead of time sinks
• Where Security Event Information Management (SEIM) adds the most value
• When Unified Threat Management makes sense, and when it doesn’t

Focus

The perimeter of the network, the traditional firewall at the edge, and scanning tools such as anti-virus/anti-malware systems, are well understood and easy-to-implement technologies. Now it’s time for network security teams to turn inward and change the network from a “free for all” utility inside of the organization to a secure and reliable one. The idea is to focus on risk mitigation and solving real business problems.

Four security technologies are bubbling to the top as leading candidates to help organizations reduce risk and increase internal network security: NAC (network access control), IDS/IPS (intrusion detection/intrusion prevention systems), SEIM (security event information management), and UTM (unified threat management).

This session will provide a deep-dive on these four technologies, putting them into perspective, and showing where they do and don’t fit into today’s enterprise networks. With a focus on inside-the-firewall security and risk reduction, we’ll give you a roadmap for core network security that will help you decide what you need---and what you don’t need---in your own network.

Takeaways

• Where NAC came from, and where it’s going
• What components make up a NAC solution and how to pick your own solution
• Where IDS and IPS are different, and where they are the same
• How successful IPS deployments get that way
• What to do with the security information being generated in your network
• How to add value by correlating and aggregating security information
• Why UTM is a hot technology---even if you are an enterprise Technologies
• End-point security and security posture assessment
• Management of policy and access controls
• IDS/IPS and vulnerability assessment
• Security Information Management
• User Authentication and 802.1X
• Access control and firewalling
• Unified Threat Management and Next Generation Firewalls
