Network Security
The complexity and global reach of the Internet has created an environment for the fast evolution of new generations of attacks, which are more sophisticated and therefore much more difficult to detect.
Organizations of all types and sizes are heavily dependent on their Internet systems remaining operative at all times — and more significantly, those of third parties — for conducting profitable business. This “Internet dependence” is what makes Internet connections and public applications the most attractive targets for malicious attacks. An ever-increasing number of businesses rely on real-time customer transactions via Internet applications over fast communication lines: Every moment without a transaction results in lost business revenue. In short, the Internet has become a critical, strategic business tool.
As the market shifts, carriers are realizing the security products designed for large enterprise networks fail to address the needs of carrier networks. Network attacks are harder to detect and cause more damage, and security technologies of the past are falling short.
Several vendors of rule-based systems, such as IDS and IPS appliances, have recently started to claim anomaly detection capabilities, advertising themselves as “all-in-one solutions.” While the necessity of rule-based systems is crucial in detecting protocol abuse and well-known worms, these systems do not have the capability to detect highly distributed attacks as well as zero day worms. Although the concepts of global network view and access to a richer set of data are imperative to any robust and reliable carrier-grade network security system, it is important to realize that the techniques used to analyze the data are a critical part of the defense system. Simple techniques will fail to detect a large variety of network anomalies rapidly or efficiently.
