New video and security white paper validate the need for
organizations to rethink security practices
F5
Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:FFIV), the global leader in Application
Delivery Networking, has added an informational video to its web media
collection that details how the global security threat landscape is
rapidly evolving. The three-minute animated video shows how the global
threat landscape has changed dramatically in ways unfathomable just a
few years ago. Due to this growing complexity and the rise of many
unknown forces in conflict over information, ideologies,
and causes, organizations must rethink how they protect their network,
applications, and data from ever-changing threats. View the video here.

To respond, businesses need to be more vigilant about monitoring threats
to their networks, applications, and resources. Agile organizations are
converging security services to address the three primary vectors of the
modern data center threat spectrum: (1) Traditional network attacks; (2)
Complex DDoS
attacks on HTTP and DNS; and (3) Application-level vulnerabilities.
“The IT world has been impacted dramatically over the last several years
as these diversified, unpredictable security threats are on a sharp
rise, hurting businesses’ bottom line and reputation,” said Mark
Vondemkamp, Sr. Director of Product Management at F5. “This is
compelling enterprises to scrutinize and rethink their strategy to
effectively secure their network, applications, data, and users under a
single, unified platform that traditional security and point solutions
just do not offer.”
A newly published paper by Infonetics Research entitled A
New Firewall for the Data Center is also available. The paper
explains how the “webification” of the data center is causing a shift in
security requirements.
“Security threats are ever-evolving, but the pace of change has grown
exponentially in the past five years,” said Jeff Wilson, Principal
Analyst, Security, at Infonetics Research. “Traditional safeguards are
designed to protect static networks and applications, but as this video
shows, the security threat landscape is incredibly dynamic, and
organizations are looking for new ways to secure their information
assets in order to keep up.”
