From the introduction by Peerlyst CEO Limor Elbaz: "The field of enterprise network security has expanded and evolved from firewalls to today's wide array of tools approaches, including unified threat management, VPNs, Web application firewalls, gateway filtering, vulnerability management, and many more lines of defense that go far beyond the endpoint.
The world of network security is truly challenged these days, in part because there are so many channels that connect businesses beyond the traditional Internet connections that were the prime concerns until recently. Organizations have limited control over endpoint devices, particularly employees’ smart phones and IOT devices used within the business.
“Securing the business network” is no longer a well-defined task. Work is no longer something we do only at the office, our personal devices are now also at work—and the two cannot be separated. Not only are there more devices to consider, there are business requirements to meet. Enterprise network security needs to be flexible enough to respond to employees’ needs, as well as to make the most of the new level of connectivity that technological developments have opened up—and of course, more are coming every day.
We need to think of new ways—smarter and more effective ones—of securing the networks we use in our militaries, our governments, and our businesses.
This book is the fantastic effort of some of the knowledgeable and generous members of our Peerlyst community of information security professionals. They volunteered their expertise because they share a goal: making the world of networks more secure. We hope their insight and advice advances your own effort to better secure your enterprise network."
