Join NSS Labs’ Thomas Skybakmoen, Distinguished Research Director from NSS Labs, as he discusses the latest trends and threats to your network. Network security systems are putting a new emphasis on providing multiple levels of defenses, with threats like WannaCry and Petya combining different techniques to penetrate and spread throughout organizations’ networks. Today’s attackers use Advanced Evasion Techniques (AETs) to hide exploits of vulnerabilities that enable malware to be injected into target systems. It’s no longer enough to focus on access control or simple anti-virus scanning. Edge security systems (whether deployed at a perimeter or between internal segments) are combatting new multi-pronged attacks at each of these stages. To make more informed decisions, security professionals should look to independent tests such as NSS Labs’ NGFW evasion tests, NGIPS test and Breach Detection System test.
