A Technology that will see more adaption in securing networks
Securing networks is not enough to secure information in totality. The other components are Application Security, Identity & Access Management and securing Data. Specific network technology will not have a distinct advantage over the other. However existing technologies such as Antivirus, Antispyware, IPS/IDS etc. will sustain, become more intelligent and agile.
A network Threat that CISOs should give more attention to
Threats from mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets should be given more attention. Once these devices are connected to internet, users have the required access to be constructive or destructive.
The best security architecture to protect enterprise networks
A good security architecture combines a heterogeneous combination of policies, best practices, technology and a sound user education and awareness program.
