Botnets Exposed: Stopping Next-Generation Attacks
The increasing sophistication and dynamism of multi-vectored network attacks, including use of botnets to deliver threats deep inside the enterprise, requires rethinking network security. In light of this sophistication and the corresponding multi-pronged attacks, traditional exploit-based solutions fail to be effective countermeasures to secure the network. Network and security architects need to consider a new approach that combines some traditional network defense technologies with a new concept, that of Global Threat Intelligence, in order to map to the anatomy of these threats - including the vulnerability, exploit, and threat vector - in order to stop them.
