Enterprise Threat Management (ETM): Bringing Security Together Through Intelligence

While IT security spending has been on the increase in recent years, unfortunately so have vulnerabilities and successful attacks. Enterprises are still being infected with undetected, targeted malware—evading traditional perimeter and host defenses. Professional hackers are in it for the profit now and are creating sophisticated ways to steal data without being detected. Employees are unintentionally—and intentionally—creating new vulnerabilities all the time. Just throwing more money at the IT security problem is no longer the solution. As a result, more and more risk, compliance, and security professionals are turning to a new holistic, security approach which unifies IPS, Network Behavior Analysis (NBA), Network Access Control (NAC), and Vulnerability Assessment technologies—through intelligence—under one management console. This approach is called "Enterprise Threat Management (ETM)." By providing actionable threat, endpoint, network, and user intelligence, the Sourcefire 3D™ System delivers continuous ETM and compliance enforcement. It also determines the potential risk a threat specifically has to your network—allowing you to easily prioritize the daily flood of security alerts and identify the most critical events. You spend your time on the events that may impact your organization, not chasing false positives and negatives. With ETM and the Sourcefire 3D System, you get effective and efficient network security before, during, and after an attack.
