
Highly coordinated

Breaking the Attack Lifecycle at Multiple Points
1. Segment your network with a “zero-trust” model as the foundation for
defense
 Only allow content to be accessed
 By a limited and identifiable set of users
 Through a well-defined set of applications
 Blocking everything else
2. Block all known threats:
 Threat Prevention would have identified and stopped parts of the attack
 Across known vulnerability exploits, malware, URLs, DNS queries
 And command-and-control activity
3. Identify and block all unknown threats:
 Using the Sandboxing Solution
 Using Behavioral characteristics such as

All applications

Scans ALL applications (including SSL traffic) to secure all avenues in/out of
a network, reduce the attack surface area, and provide context for forensics

Prevents attacks across ALL attack vectors (exploit, malware, DNS,
command & control, and URL) with content-based signatures

Detects zero day malware & exploits using public/private cloud and
automatically creates signatures for global customer base

Summary
 Evolution of your Network Security
 It’s a new Threat Landscape
 Need for an integrated approach
 Traditional solutions no longer suffice
 Focus on breaking the Attack Lifecycle, not just on the pointattack
