The Challenge of Maximizing Service Availability and Security

Nearly every product, service, application and data type is moving to an IP-based infrastructure. As a result, formerly isolated products in homogenous networks are embedded within heterogeneous deployments, resulting in dramatically larger and more complex attack surfaces that are exposed to a wide variety of potential attack sources.

Spending on security defense-in-depth has not slowed the growth rate of vulnerabilities and exploits. Protocol-based attacks and existing attack surface weaknesses are increasingly targeted to create an entryway to the end systems, servers and valuable customer information stored within a network. Every production network is unique and developers are unable to proactively analyze and test for every system or application setting. It is nevertheless essential that end users test their networked applications, hardware systems and software products in the configurations they intend to use, and perform regression tests as those configurations evolve.
