BOTNETS

PHISHING

Cyber criminals are more malicious than ever before. Using every angle to infiltrate your devices and network, they unleash constant and highly synchronized attacks to exploit areas of weakness.

Any opening in your defenses leaves your organization exposed to advanced threats like:

MODERN CYBERATTACKSSophisticated, Coordinated & Completely In Sync

Businesses must cover an ever-expanding array of attack vectors as their end users leverage more portable devices and cloud-based applications. But having to

separately manage multiple point solutions to address each layer ofsecurity is making it hard to keep up.

TRADITIONAL CYBERSECURITYDisconnected, Isolated & Outpaced

The bottom line? As cyberattacks become more synchronized, security solutions must do the same. Firewall-endpoint coordination simplifies and strengthens security by speeding detection, isolation, and remediation of attacks before they have time to exfiltrate your data or spread further infection.

STAY IN SYNC WITH SOPHISTICATEDTHREAT MITIGATION

A synchronized security solution is a next gen approach that can mitigate even the most advanced cyberattacks. Connected endpoints communicate directly with the firewall, creating a two-way flow of real-time security intelligence that powers

coordinated protection of your data, devices, and network.

A SIMPLIFIED, SYNCHRONIZED SOLUTION

Synchronized security gives your business a unified front against cyberattacks, using seamless coordination to streamline the threat mitigation process and outmaneuver cyber criminals.

Let’s see the difference.

Firewall-Endpoint Coordination

As cyberattacks grow in strength and sophistication, so must your business’ defenses against them. Unfortunately, simply adding more layers of security point solutions won’t solve the problem. Attacks are increasingly coordinated, but these products operate in isolation.

Let’s take a look at why synchronized security is so important for today’s SMBs.

The good news is that businesses can eliminate these silos with a move to Synchronized Security: the framework that enables seamless information sharing between network and endpoint security products,as well as automated threat response.

Over 10,000security alerts can demand review from Operations Centers per day.8

across the system, isolating infected endpoints before a threat can spread and reducing incident

response time to minutes.

SYNCHRONIZEDSECURITY

Firewall identifies endpoint anomaly and automatically isolates it to prevent it from communicating inside or outside the network.

Firewall alerts administrator to the machine name, user, and process name that triggers the alert.

Administrator can immediately remediate the threat, and once remediated, network access to the endpoint is automatically restored.

Endpoint alerts administrator of the anomaly.

Administrator manually analyzes alert using SIEM tools; must

identify the source of the problem with only the IP address to go by.

Administrator updates firewall to isolate identified endpoint

from the network.

Administrator remediates the threat.

Administrator manually restores network access to endpoint once

remediation is complete.5
