Security Architecture is more important than adding new security technology



Organizations flock to purchase the latest "next-generation" security technology but meanwhile ignore the basic tenants of security. A mature, secure architecture design does not require the most expensive best-of-breed solutions. However, it does involve taking time to think about one's environment and to design a secure architecture accordingly.

If you take the time to learn about your assets, you will be able to layer in multiple prevention and detection solutions and have a highly effective security architecture

The firewall should also be configured to implement internal layers of network segmentation. Controls should not only face the Internet but implemented to secure authorized access from internal assets to internal assets.


Modern challenges also must be overcome. For instance, consider an intrusion detection/prevention device, web proxy, data loss prevention sensor, network antivirus, or any other Layer 7 network inspection solution. These are all crippled by network encryption
