Editor’s Perspectives<br />
important and more crucial is to<br />
identify when and how much they can<br />
limit the impact and contain their<br />
exposure. This means having the<br />
capability to respond quickly once the<br />
initial incident has been discovered.<br />
Prevent Attacks<br />
Malware is gettings quick-witted day<br />
by day. <strong>The</strong>y utilize heuristics to<br />
change their code dynamically. A<br />
capable solution should have an<br />
adaptive architecture that evolves with<br />
the changing environment, and threats<br />
today's business faces.<br />
Integration<br />
Today’s threats have multiple facets,<br />
and a single software or solution is not<br />
sufficient. Protection system should<br />
have the capability to integrate with<br />
other security tools from different<br />
vendors to work together as a single<br />
protection system, acting as connective<br />
tissue for today’s disjointed cyber<br />
security infrastructure.<br />
<strong>Solution</strong>s In Market<br />
Like infectious diseases, cyber threats<br />
will never be eradicated entirely, but<br />
they can be better contained and<br />
understood, and their effects<br />
<strong>min</strong>imized. How can this be achieved?<br />
IBM has built an enterprise-level<br />
“immune system,” an adaptive security<br />
architecture to battle today’s cyber<br />
pathogens. IBM has developed a vast<br />
fleet of products, QRadar, X-Force<br />
Threat Intelligence, Trusteer Pinpoint<br />
Malware Detection, IBM Threat<br />
Protection System a dynamic,<br />
integrated system to meddle the<br />
lifecycle of advanced attacks and<br />
prevent loss.<br />
<strong>The</strong> IBM Threat Protection System<br />
integrates with 450 security tools from<br />
over <strong>10</strong>0 vendors acting as connective<br />
tissue for today’s disjointed cyber<br />
security infrastructure.<br />
Symantec is another major player in<br />
catering enterprise network security<br />
systems with Symantec Advanced<br />
Threat Protection. Symantec ATP<br />
operates via a single console and works<br />
across endpoints, networks, and<br />
emails, integrating with Symantec<br />
Endpoint Protection (SEP), and<br />
Symantec Email <strong>Security</strong> cloud, which<br />
means organizations do not need to<br />
deploy any new endpoint agents.<br />
Symantec says, ATP is the only threat<br />
protection appliance that can work<br />
with all three sensors without requiring<br />
additional endpoint agents. With ATP,<br />
Symantec’s goal is to deliver<br />
end-to-end threat protection,<br />
prevention, detection, and response in<br />
a single pane of glass, offering more<br />
value to businesses than individual<br />
point products can provide. Symantec<br />
Advanced Threat Protection combines<br />
multiple layers of prevention,<br />
detection, and response.<br />
