Because so much of a company's assets—particularly its intellectual property—is now stored electronically, it has become a popular target for predators, on either side of your network perimeter. The 2005 Computer Crime and Security Survey, conducted by the Computer Security Institute and FBI, reveals that theft of proprietary information resulted in an average loss of $355 K (U.S.) per respondent or nearly $31 M (U.S.) in total losses among the 639 companies surveyed.

Enterasys Secure Networks™ architecture provides the most effective solution for protecting your intellectual property from attacks or theft. The key is the embedded security found in every component of the Secure Networks infrastructure that recognizes users (and their roles) at the point of entry and ensures the fastest adds, moves or changes.

• Corporate assets—including patents, customer information and financial data—are targets for attacks, both internally and externally
• Strict usage rules created and distributed by NetSight® management control how the network resources are used and by whom
• Embedded security intelligence of the Matrix™ switches recognize suspicious traffic entering the data center
• Matrix™ switches block the malicious traffic generated by offending users from entering the data center while all other users continue to work unimpeded
• Dragon® IDS/IPS provides an added layer of threat detection and prevention to protect vital data

• Fastest detection, location and response capability
• Most pervasive deployment of network security functionality
• Most precise security enforcement—pinpoint control
• Only open architecture in the industry—leverage what you have today with no “rip and replace”
• Greater automation for simpler operation
• Fewer products to deploy and manage
• No performance trade-off for advanced security capability
• Flexible architecture dramatically reduces solution-time required for future issues
• Best total cost of ownership in the industry
