Network Security - Empower Your People
Arbor's Holden on How to Focus on the Most Damaging ThreatsWhen it comes to responding to network security threats, it isn't just a matter of collecting and analyzing data. It's a question of how quickly you can put that data to work in your defenses, says Dan Holden of Arbor Networks.
It's not just a technology challenge, says Holden, Director of Arbor's Security Engineering and Response Team.
"The security industry for a very long time has always preached a combination of technology, people and process, but really ... the focus has been on the technology," Holden says. "But the technology really needs to be looked at in a manner in which it is making the people and process more effective."
Ultimately, Holden says, the question becomes: 'How do you get your defenders up to (or close to) the same speed as the attackers?'
In an interview about improving network security, Holden discusses:
- The attack campaigns that post the most serious threats to financial services firms and data;
- The new approach needed to maximize network security tools and teams;
- Arbor's new product launch and how it will help organizations focus on the network security threats that pose the biggest risks.
