2 Enterprises are feeling the heat as Cybersecurity incidents continue to grow and existing solutions struggle to keep pace

64% more

incidents in 2015

than in 2014

Theft of ‘hard’ IP

increased 56% in

2015

Growing attacks on

core / critical

systems

Challenges are

getting bigger, bolder

and more complex

The dramatic increase in networked devices has further complicated the situation as we begin to understand the impact of IoT

The escalating impact and costs today are often measured in the millions

3 The growing ‘mobility’ of users and expanding enterprise perimeter has resulted in greater exposure to attacks

Business drivers for an

extended enterprise

ecosystem

Growing mobile workforce

Ever expanding enterprise

perimeter

Increased sophistication &

reduced cost of cyber-

attacks

Despite spending billions of dollars on cybersecurity solutions, we continue to defend against tomorrows cyber attacks with

yesterday’s technology

While business drivers justify an extended enterprise ecosystem, the need to secure the

critical systems that support it has grown manifold

7 Experts across industry segments and analysts chime in with their opinion on SDP and Blockchain technology

Gartner expects the global Software-Defined Perimeter adoption to grow significantly, starting 2017

Source: Gartner

The first generation of the digital revolution

brought us the Internet of information. The

second generation — powered by blockchain

technology — is bringing us the Internet of value:

a new platform to reshape the world of business

and transform the old order of human affairs for

the better

Don Tapscott.

‘Blockchain Revolution’

“Companies spend millions of dollars on

firewalls, encryption and secure access devices,

and it’s money wasted; none of these measures

address the weakest link in the security chain.”

Kevin Mitnick,

“The World’s Most Famous Hacker”

SDP security model has been shown to stop all

forms of network attacks including DDoS, Man-in-

the-Middle, Server Query (OWASP10) as well as

Advanced Persistent Threat (APT)

Cloud Security Alliance

DMZs and legacy VPNs were designed for the

networks of the 1990s and have become obsolete

because they lack the agility needed to protect

digital businesses. Look for products or services

that can expand identity from one to two factors

and then beyond with contextual and adaptive

access controls.
