Mazu Networks Announces Second White Paper in Series on the Security Benefits of Network Behavior Analysis

Posted on: Monday, 9 July 2007, 09:19 CDT

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Mazu Networks, the leading(1) provider of Network Behavior Analysis (NBA) systems today announced the availability of "Resolve Security Incidents 7-10x Faster," the second installment of the white paper series on the network security benefits of NBA. The paper provides insight into how NBA systems can dramatically improve security performance and response through increased visibility of network activity.

In "Resolve Security Incidents 7-10x Faster" Mazu Networks discusses how standard network tools are unable to provide the level of context that is needed to quickly resolve security incidents. This lack of context forms gaps within the network infrastructure, crippling its performance. The paper explains how NBA systems enable security teams to resolve security incidents 7-10 times faster by providing the level of context needed to rapidly identify, verify, prioritize and respond to security issues.

"It is critical for organizations to identify and resolve security incidents quickly to prevent any impact on business operations," said Paul Brady, CEO, Mazu Networks. "The intent of this white paper series is to help enterprises address the most pressing security challenges putting their networks at risk by educating them on the benefits of NBA."

The second part of the Mazu Networks white paper series focuses on the four core areas in which NBA can provide significant value to network security. These areas include: detecting unauthorized activities, users, applications or hosts; resolving incidents 7-10x faster; detecting/stopping internal threats and malware; and establishing/enforcing policies to reduce the cost of compliance. In addition to "Resolve Security Incidents 7-10x Faster" Mazu Networks will release the following white papers on the network security benefits of NBA:

-- "Detect/Stop Internal Threats and Malware" -- This paper will provide information on how enterprises can prevent internal threats and malware to effectively protect critical services and data. -- "Establishing/Enforcing Policies to Reduce the Cost of Compliance" -- This paper will provide information on how the Mazu NBA system can enable enterprises to better establish and enforce policies to contend with growing industry regulations.

Also available on this site is the first paper in the series titled, "Four Things You Don't Know about Your Network that Put You at Risk," which explains how NBA provides enterprises with the continuous global visibility needed to identify unauthorized activities, users, applications and hosts placing their network at risk.
