Vulnerabilities in IT and telecommunications systems pose dangerous risks that can threaten a company’s performance or even its continued existence. Safeguards for these systems must ensure that they are protected from unauthorized access, such as attacks by hackers. Other measures such as access control, identity and transaction management are further aids to secure communication. They enable applications to be run without risk to the enterprise and without the user needing to be updated about security-related details.

Recognizing Threats Swiftly

What matters most is preventing infected data from proliferating. As a rule, malware spreads via e-mail or downloads that take place unnoticed in the background. That is why security solutions must filter out known threats by analyzing data flows in central network nodes while quickly recognizing new threats by means of intelligent, network-wide learning processes.
