Here are 6 common security pitfalls that could put your network security at risk.
Trying to stay ahead by staying behind a firewall. More and more users are working on the move — and not always using VPN — but a firewall protects users only when they’re on the network. *82% of mobile workers admit they don’t always use a VPN.
Betting on antivirus for off-network protection. Antivirus software is often the only protection for off-network endpoints. The problem? Signature detection blocks only known attacks — and threats are moving too fast for manual updates. *25% of corporate traffic will bypass perimeter security by 2021.
Trusting web proxies to handle sophisticated threats. Web proxies cover only ports 80/443, but attackers use advanced tactics like non-web ports and protocols for network infiltration and data exfiltration. *15% of malware C2 callbacks use ports other than 80/443.
Turning a blind eye to SaaS apps. SaaS apps are great for employee productivity. But you can’t protect what you can’t see, and on-premises solutions don’t have enough visibility or control for SaaS and cloud apps. *Over 475 third-party applications are used by the average company.
Managing security in a silo. Traditional security tools won’t readily integrate with other solutions, like SIEM or custom in-house apps. If your systems can’t talk to each other, you can’t get the security intel you need to protect your business effectively Over 50 vendors secure the average company.
Hoping appliance-based tools will scale easily. Protecting each branch with appliance-based tools just isn’t scalable. Deployment, configuration, and ongoing management are cumbersome and intelligence processing capacity is limited. 69% of branch offices have direct-to-internet access.
