Topic 1

“Common Misconception of Firewalls: Firewalls Exposed”

As the commercialization of the Internet enters its third decade, the Web itself has evolved from sharing static information to driving dynamically connected mission-critical applications. While web applications and efficiencies of Web 2.0 are universally adopted, network security practices often still rely too heavily on the basic network firewall to block access to static information. Too many enterprises today believe their firewalls deliver "good enough" security to mitigate Internet-related threats and attacks. However, enterprises that do not currently have advanced network protection deployed face significant risk and are likely already compromised. Topics in this presentation include the following:

Emergence of the Firewall
Today’s Reality
Attackers Maximize their Return on Investment
Best Practices: Firewall + IPS/UTM + Anti-Virus + Anti-Spam + Anti-Malware
Dangers of firewalls exposed
Threat Examples At-a-Glance
Solutions & Strategies
