An insignt into the state of today's network security challenges

25 Aug 2009
 
 
The average enterprise faces about 300 network attacks every year while 10 percent of the organizations experienced more than 1200 attacks per year.

A recent study from IDC had respondents who indicated that losses from data breaches were equivalent to more than 75 percent of their costs for operating firewall architecture.

Firewall rules continue to grow and the larger the firewall rule set, the more complex rule management becomes, and the harder it is to keep rules current and to prevent gaps in the protection.

McAfee addresses these issues by enabling firewall protection that keeps up with the volume of today's threats and the changing application environments.

Earlier this month, McAfee released its next generation firewall with user behavior analysis and rule management. By investing in proper firewall solutions, organizations should be able to drastically cut the average yearly breach loss of more than one million dollars.
