Anatomy of a Cyber-Attack
As the number and severity of cyber-crimes continues to grow, it's important to understand the steps cyber-criminals take to attack your network, the types of malware they use, and the tools you need to stop them. The basic steps of a cyber attack include reconnaissance (finding vulnerabilities); intrusion (actual penetration of the network); malware insertion (secretly leaving code behind); and clean-up (covering tracks).

Helping Schools Secure Their Networks While Saving Their Budgets
The challenges facing grade school educators are greater than ever before. The standards for academic achievement and the expectations of students' families continue to climb. At the same time, education budgets are tighter. Schools' technology infrastructures are caught in the middle, requiring K-12 IT administrators to literally do more with less. Networked resources have addressed some qualitative issues. Online instruction materials and classroom management services supplement teachers' capabilities and free them from administrative chores. In addition, self-service portals and email communications increase the efficiency and effectiveness of administrative staff. This reliance on the Internet brings new challenges. As the user population grows to include on- and off-campus students, faculty, administrators, contractors and parents, so do the threats to the network's security. This is further compounded by the ever-changing threat landscape. What K-12 IT administrators need is a network and information security solution that is effective, high-performing, flexible, and easy to manage. These are the types of solutions that only SonicWALL® delivers.

The MSP Business & IT Case for Application Traffic Flow Analytics
Managed service providers (MSPs) need to support customers that are under increasing pressure to minimize costs, optimize capital investment and minimize monthly Internet service costs. At the same time, non-business-related web traffic, such as social media, is increasing exponentially, draining bandwidth and productivity out of customer networks. MSPs are constrained by outdated monitoring and reporting tools that provide limited visibility into ports and protocols yet lack insight into application traffic flow across the firewalls, routers and switches on customer networks. What's more, traditional firewalls do not always adequately stop threats originating from infected hosts inside customer networks. The SonicWALL® Application Traffic Analytics solution provides MSPs with the tools they need to solve these problems by providing an in-depth view into their network.
