Highlights Strategies for Dealing with the Increase in Advanced Targeted Threats. STAMFORD, Conn., August 24, 2011 View All Press Releases Analysts Explore Future for the Security Industry at the Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit 2011, September 19-20, in London Advanced security threats are increasing, but simply adding more layers of defense does not necessarily increase security against targeted threats; security controls need to evolve, according to Gartner, Inc.
"Targeted attacks are penetrating standard levels of security controls and causing significant business damage to enterprises that do not evolve their security controls," said John Pescatore, vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner. "For the average enterprise, 4 percent to 8 percent of executables that pass through antivirus and other common defenses are malicious.
Enterprises need to focus on reducing vulnerabilities and increasing monitoring capabilities to deter or more quickly react to evolving threats.

Sourcefire: attacks against SCADA-based systems just the beginning. November 24, 2011 The recent attacks against SCADA systems should be a wake-up call to the managers of in-house process controls. According to Dominic Storey, EMEA technical director at Sourcefire, process control security should come under IT's remit. “One technology doesn't grasp how many control nodes are now in the business, you only need to look at a major organisation to see how malware gets in,” he said. This week saw attacks against SCADA-based systems in Illinois and Houston, and Storey said they were the beginning of a trend. He said: “The thermal stress caused the damage [to the water pump in the first attack]; this is something we talk about when customers deploy intrusion prevention systems (IPS).
It cannot determine an advanced persistent threat (APT) as, once it is in, it is largely useless, so that is where intrusion detection systems (IDS) helps through anomaly detection analysis.” Infonetics Research: Standalone deep packet inspection (DPI) market to top $2 billion by 2015. Apr. 20, 2011 (Marketwire) -- CAMPBELL, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 04/20/11 -- Market research firm Infonetics Research ( released its latest Service Provider Deep Packet Inspection Products report, which tracks standalone DPI solutions and vendors. "Although residual concerns over net neutrality and operators' proclivity for all-you-can-eat services have made US operators hesitant to do any widespread deployments of deep packet inspection (DPI) technology, the DPI market is growing at a healthy pace in other parts of the world.
We anticipate particularly dramatic growth in emerging markets in Asia, the Middle East and Africa, where operators are looking to address network congestion caused by rapid subscriber growth, comply with regulatory requirements, and support cyber security initiatives. Infonetics' DPI report provides market size, vendor market share, forecasts, and in-depth analysis for standalone deep packet inspection products. DPI Goes Undercover - Telecom. Deep packet inspection (DPI) has become established as a key component of modern telecom networks; it is used widely to help service providers manage traffic and protect network resources. In most cases the systems deployed have been standalone appliances dedicated to the task, and those systems have been developed by specialists, often using in-house technologies and expertise. However, the DPI market is undergoing a change. An ecosystem of vendors that are providing DPI building-block technologies has emerged.
It is now possible for an OEM vendor to procure off-the-shelf chipsets, software libraries, software development kits (SDKs), applications, processors, line cards, boards and blades to support the development of applications and solutions leveraging DPI. This has already led to several OEM vendors entering the market for the first time – and they have been winning contracts. DPI is being taken closer to access networks to aid the management of traffic much closer to customers. HR: DPI Vendors Must Differentiate - Telecom News Wire. CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Deep packet inspection (DPI) has taken off in the market, but appliance vendors are finding that they need to step it up in order to differentiate their services from every other DPI offering, according to the latest report from Heavy Reading Insider (www.heavyreading.com/insider), a paid research service of Heavy Reading (www.heavyreading.com).
DPI Appliance Vendors Face an Off-the-Shelf Challenge goes under the hood, looking at the technologies that DPI component and building block vendors are providing that will underpin the next wave of DPI technology deployments. It reviews where their DPI is starting to be embedded, and what the implications are for the vendors of DPI solutions – including specialist vendors and the major NEPs. For a list of companies covered in this report, Key findings of DPI Appliance Vendors Face an Off-the-Shelf Challenge include the following: United Business Media Ltd. DPI/PCRF Market Size [Oct '11]
