Palo Alto Networks
Palo Alto Networks' next-generation firewalls provide network security by enabling enterprises to see and control applications, users, and content – not just ports, IP addresses, and packets – using three unique identification technologies: App-ID, User-ID, and Content-ID. These identification technologies, found in Palo Alto Networks' enterprise firewalls, enable enterprises to create business-relevant security policies – safely enabling organizations to adopt new applications, instead of the traditional "all-or-nothing" approach offered by traditional port-blocking firewalls used in many security infrastructures.
Application Visibility
Streaming audio and video, file sharing, collaboration, and social networks are just a few types of applications that are capable of hopping from port to port, using encryption and non-standard ports all as a means of evading traditional firewalls. The business value these applications provide varies widely, but all of them introduce a range of risks including loss of productivity, compliance issues, threat propagation and data leakage.
Application Control
Attempts at regaining control by bolstering the port-based firewall with IPS, URL filtering or proxies have been exercises in futility. None of these offerings are capable of seeing all the traffic on the network nor are they designed to act as the most strategic security element on the network – the firewall. Palo Alto Networks' is restoring the firewalls' strategic importance as the center of the security infrastructure with a family of next-generation firewalls that identify and control applications, users and content. Three unique technologies enable Palo Alto Networks' next-generation firewall to restore visibility and control over the network: App-ID, User-ID and Content-ID.
Customers around the world are regaining visibility and control by deploying the Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewall in a wide range of network locations that include the perimeter, the DMZ, internally for network segmentation and in the datacenter.
ProofPoint
Proofpoint's breakthrough email security and email compliance technologies enable organizations of all types to reduce the costs and risks associated with email-today's most important business communications channel.
As email has become the most important communications channel in today's enterprise, email systems have become the main repository for sensitive, confidential, and mission-critical information. And enterprises are becoming increasingly concerned about this information leaving the company via email. A recent survey by Proofpoint and Forrester Consulting found that more than 70 percent of large companies polled were concerned or very concerned about leaks of valuable intellectual property and trade secrets via email. More than 76 percent were worried about protecting the confidentiality of personal identity and financial information.
The Proofpoint Digital Asset Security module uses patent-pending Proofpoint MLX machine learning technology to analyze confidential documents and apply content filtering to prevent them from leaving your organization via email. Digital Asset Security leverages some of the same advanced statistical techniques used in Proofpoint's industry-leading anti-spam engine-widely acknowledged as one of the most accurate systems available.
Proofpoint is the only vendor who has applied these advanced statistical techniques to both inbound spam detection and outbound content filtering. Scientists at the Proofpoint Attack Response Center continue to conduct primary research into new, advanced statistical techniques and to develop new defenses based on MLX. This ongoing research and development ensures that Proofpoint's solutions are always one step ahead of threats to the security of your messaging infrastructure.
