Internal Security

Layered Defense to Protect Internal Systems

Challenges
Historically, IT security organizations have focused on protecting the perimeter of their networks. However, many of today's security threats are introduced inside the network. The recent Blaster worm is an example of an attack that commonly propagated amongst the users of the network after being introduced by an internal source. With such threats becoming increasingly common, customers realize that they must provide defenses within their internal network.

Market Opportunity Based on our analysis of market sizing and forecasts from IDC and Infonetics, the Internal Security market in 2002 was approximately $265M in revenue, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 24%, reaching $632M by 2006.

The optimal solution will: Block the spread of worms/attacks within the network Segment the internal network into security and risk containment zones Reduce the risk of patch management by protecting critical internal resources in a simple and effective way Plug-n-play into existing network topologies for simple deployment Ease the burden of regulatory compliance with granular tracking and auditing capability
