While most of the emphasis on protecting networks today is focused on protecting data within the enterprise or data center, the physical infrastructures of both public and private Internet networks are vulnerable to calculated attacks.
New Government Regulations and Breach Laws for the Network
Networks today are built with a complex mix of physical and virtual connections that support the transmission of time-sensitive financial transactions, private health care records, secure government communications, as well as wireless voice connections — and all of this in an environment of increasing threats and numerous recent government regulations. Fines for not securing data are steep, sometimes as high as millions of dollars per day. So enterprises have to look to solutions that ensure the information traveling across private and public networks is secure, while still meeting the ever increasing demands on their network.
