BUILD A STRATEGIC APPROACH
TO NETWORK AND APP SECURITY
PRESENTED BY
U
sers want choice when it comes to their
apps and devices, and the flexibility to work
anywhere, anytime. But that creates a lot of
undo complexity, security risk and systems sprawl for
IT to manage.
With the right solution, organisations don’t have to
give one priority over the other.
Regardless of where data resides, your organisation
can give employees the tools they want, while
ensuring IT has the visibility and control to actively
monitor your entire ecosystem.
Traditional methods no longer work

In an attempt to outpace emerging threats, many
organisations have tacked on individual point
solutions to address individual security needs. One for
endpoint protection, another for apps and another
for the network. These disparate systems don’t work
because they:
• Add complexity. As data moved from the data
centre to cloud and even endpoint devices beyond
the firewall, IT teams were left with different

systems for managing and securing them all
• Leave holes. Different systems weren’t designed
for end-to-end coverage and leaving gaps where
malware can slip through
• Don’t talk to each other. Siloed point solutions
can’t spot anomalies or alterations and therefore
can’t proactively prevent threats from breaching
your network
• Can’t identify unknown attacks. A big problem
for many disparate security systems are the threats
they can’t see. Also known as zero-day attacks,
they can go unnoticed for extended periods of
time, allowing hackers access to sensitive data for
however long it takes them to be discovered
• Don’t prevent internal threats. Most security
solutions are geared at keeping the bad guys out,
but they aren’t designed to stop leaks from the
inside. Point solutions aren’t designed to recognise
and halt unusual behaviour. As a result, they’re
unable to prevent sensitive information from
moving outside the network
• Can’t segment access based on user needs.
Managing user behaviour across endpoints is
much harder with individual point solutions and
puts additional burdens on already overloaded
