Security Re-Imagined, Part I: An Adaptive Approach To Cyber Threats For The Digital Age

It's time to re-imagine security.

Conventional security detects threats too late (if at all), and resolves them too slowly. It gives security teams a fragmented, incomplete view into what's going on in their network. It's passive and blind to broader threat trends. And it reacts too slowly to new threats and changing conditions.

Organizations need a flexible, deeply integrated framework that offers a far-reaching view of threats and evolves as quickly as conditions do. Their security architecture must be agile. It must be deeply integrated for an end-to-end view of attacks. It must present a full picture of threats by incorporating internal and external intelligence. And it must take an active, "lean-forward" posture that doesn't just wait for attacks but anticipates them.

FireEye calls this approach Adaptive Defense.

In this paper, learn:

• Why it's time to reimagine your security architecture
• Key metrics to assess your security posture
• Why preventing every attack is unrealistic - and why resolving them early is more important
• How a fragmented, incomplete view of attacks obscures detection and slows response
• Why conventional architectures are creating more work with less to show for it
• How to improve the ROI on your existing security investments
