Apr. 2018<\/em><\/p>\n Data and application protection in on-premises infrastructures, virtual environments and Cloud is a critical priority for most organizations. To support that, Datanet Systems organized a workshop in mid-April to present and analyze the constituent elements of security architectures, illustrating the benefits of an integrated approach.<\/p>\n Forrester Consulting<\/strong>\u00a0carried out in 2016 an analysis of the economic impact (Total Economic Impact<\/strong>) generated by adopting and implementing Cisco’s integrated security architecture within an organization. TEI analysis, completed over a three year period, revealed three major benefits:<\/p>\n Since 2016, Cisco has constantly expanded its portfolio with new security applications and is adding new features in a fast pace. For this reason Datanet Systems Specialists, Cisco’s main local partner (as per number of projects and number of certified engineers) recently presented in a workshop the main news brought by the updated solutions:<\/p>\n as well as new features integrated with Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) and Umbrella.<\/p>\n Datanets consultants\u00a0Alexandru Nacea and Faruk Hairedin<\/strong>\u2019s presentations did not solely focus on Cisco’s technological advances. Datanet Systems’s IT security consultants have illustrated practically by usage scenarios how and what benefits are provided by integrating these solutions into a unitary security architecture that is capable of improving protection across the entire organization. A special attention has been paid to the automation options offered by Cisco solutions that help: \u2022 early detection of potential threats; \u2022 decreasing the detection time and the magnitude of a security incident; \u2022 increasing the effectiveness of remediation solutions and \u2022 reducing operational effort.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In order to deliver complete and effective local protection,\u00a0Datanet<\/strong>\u00a0promotes the concept of a multivendor integrated security architecture, capable of covering specific functional areas. A justifiable approach, in terms of vendor specialization in niche areas, and which Datanet supports through advanced security system integrator competences, accumulated over the course of 20 years.<\/p>\n In this context,\u00a0Datanet Systems<\/strong>\u00a0specialists have presented the main advantages of BIG-IP Application Security Manager (ASM), a scalable F5 Web Application Firewall solution dedicated to the protection of classic, virtual and Cloud media infrastructures that provide protection against an extended range of attacks (“Zero-day”, DoS \/ DDoS, SQL injections, CSRF, etc.). The presentation focused on practical aspects such as ways of defining, implementing, and enforcing security policies using ASM, or how the solution identifies early on the pattern of a DoS Layer 7 attack.<\/p>\n\n
