Application awareness using data inspection, Dyman & Associates Risk Management Projects
by Keirth Lei NAThe modern enterprise presents numerous challenges to IT security leaders, as it
requires a diverse array of applications, websites, protocols, and platforms.
Mobile devices are changing the fundamental composition of network traffic and
introducing new types of malware, while consumerization
trends such as BYOD are introducing new devices over which IT has little
control.
To organize the chaos, IT must look beyond a network
packet’s site, port, or IP address and determine a security posture that relies
on the complete context of data usage. A deep, thorough inspection of real-time
network data can help provide the content awareness required for the granular management
that a flexible, modern enterprise requires.
This report examines the shortcomings of traditional
security and management processes exposed by device proliferation, an
increasingly mobile workforce, and a movement toward cloud applications. It
also demonstrates how a deeper understanding of application data in transit can
help IT build more-flexible, business-friendly management procedures that
continue to provide security and efficiency without disrupting productivity.
The report concludes with best practices for testing application-aware
network-security devices to gain a greater understanding of the value they will
provide when deployed onto the enterprise network.
