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

"Protect the Network Core from Internal Threats and Malware" Provides Insight into How Security Teams Can Use NBA to Defend Against Credentialed Attacks and Zero-Day Worms

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. - July 31, 2007 - Mazu Networks, the leading(1) provider of Network Behavior Analysis (NBA) systems, today announced the availability of the third installment in the company’s white paper series on the network security benefits of NBA. The paper, titled "Protect the Network Core from Internal Threats and Malware," provides enterprises with information on how to defend against credentialed attacks, zero-day threats and malware without signatures.

In its latest paper, Mazu Networks discusses how existing solutions do not address today's most pressing security threats. The paper details how; in contrast, NBA systems arm security teams with the network visibility they need to diagnose urgent incidents, resolve repeating problems, identify trends for effective planning and conduct forensic analysis. Further, NBA provides security teams with a complete understanding of the potential impact of threat mitigation before any action takes place.

"Visibility across the entire network is vital in protecting today’s network environment," said Paul Brady, CEO, Mazu Networks. "As network complexity grows, standard defenses quickly become obsolete. Through our security white paper series, we provide IT teams with the information they need to better understand how to adapt their defenses to address the increasingly sophisticated and constantly evolving security threats placing their networks at risk."

The complete Mazu Networks white paper series focuses on the four core areas in which NBA can provide significant value to security operations. 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. The final paper in the Mazu Networks series on the security benefits of NBA is:

  • "Reduce the Burden of Regulatory 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.
