White Papers

According to Radware, 93% of companies experienced a cyberattack in the last twelve months.1 Amongst the many security strategies available to security architects, a defensive approach is one fundamental strategy that stands out. The defensive approach focuses on preventing as many breaches as possible.

 

Most businesses already focus on a defensive approach. However, defensive security implementations can be very complex, with conflicting and overlapping tactics. A simple approach that allows you to play both defense and offense will give you an advantage against bad actors, yielding superior results.

 

Here is a six-step approach for securing your enterprise:

 

  1. Validate equipment readiness against malware and distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks with a security threat tester
  2. Block traffic from known bad IP addresses
  3. Use inline real-time traffic analysis to search for hidden malware and security threats
  4. Decrypt data packets for better security inspection
  5. Perform advanced data filtering to improve analytics
  6. Enable deep packet inspection for threat detection and analysis
