We are living, and operating, in a new digital world in which the nature of our network’s perimeter has evolved- to meet the need for customers, vendors, partners and employees to require access to critical business information, applications and services. However, this increased level of interconnectivity also raises new security challenges at a time when the incidence and sophistication of malicious activity by worms, viruses, hackers is constantly on the rise. As a result, organizations must ensure an effective balance between distributed access and appropriate security (and availability) of core information assets.

The simple fact is that traditional security methods of access control, intrusion detection and anti-virus protection alone are not enough. According to the Yankee Group, over 80% of respondents indicated that they had experienced viruses or worms in 2003 and 40% denial of service attacks (The Yankee Group 2003 Enterprise Security Spending Survey). And, Aberdeen Group recently reported that companies suffering business disruption from web-based attacks are losing an average of $2 million in revenue (CRN, 7/7/04).

Protection at the perimeter, network, host and client are all important components of a contemporary security solution. As a result, companies and government entities today are increasingly adopting a multi-layered, proactive approach to security at both the network and the host to ensure business continuity. They must also concentrate on developing a defense-in-depth security posture comprised of best of breed products that effectively serve the business and IT environment of their enterprise and/or government organizations.

Patches and updates issued by vendors are often available too late—after damage has already been done. Consider:

  • In its first three minutes of life, the Slammer worm was scanning 55 million targets per second. By the ten minute mark, 90% of all vulnerable machines on the planet were infected. (CIO, November 2003)
  • Code Red infected 360,000 computers WW in less than 14 hours, causing $1.2B in damages.
  • While fewer than 15% of all attacks occur within the first month of a vulnerability announcement today, that number is expected to reach roughly 30% by 2006. (John Pescatore, VP and Research Fellow, Gartner Research)

Sana Security provides industry leading host-based intrusion prevention software (HIPS) that requires no static rules or signatures to provide the best protection from known and unknown attacks with the lowest, most predictable operating costs. Simply put, Sana provides the last line of defense for critical business applications, information and services.
