In Today?s Web 2.0 Environment, Proactive Security Is Paramount. Are You Protected?

Applications are now enabled over the Internet and the use of corporate intranets and extranets are now critical components of business. Indeed, organizations now build their businesses on Web infrastructures, and we?ve even seen the proliferation of completely ?virtual? companies that have no physical headquarters at all. Today?s business model includes inbound access for remote employees, partners, and customers. Internal employees also reach beyond the edge of the internal network to communicate and gather information across the Internet. This bi-directional aspect of IP-based application access creates significant security challenges for enterprises, however. Communication methods are both inbound and outbound, and so too, threats have also become both inbound and outbound in nature.
