Compliance Audit Preparation Guide
Security compliance audits are getting a lot of coverage these days thanks to standards such as SOX, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA. If a specific compliance standard isn’t on your radar, business relationships with partners or customers may require you to still prove that your network is secure.
Beyond compliance requirements, the firewall audit is a security best practice and an important mechanism for understanding your current security position. Firewall audits increase your chances of catching weaknesses and finding blind spots and dark zones where your policies need to adapt. They also help prove you have been doing your due diligence – often, an audit finding helps correct policies and procedures that are incorrectly documented or omitted. Using documentation to demonstrate that you review your security controls regularly is critical to addressing a lawsuit, breach, or regulatory issue that calls your security standards into question. Of course, preventing these issues is even better.

Advanced APIs – How to Optimize Security, Maximize Resources, and Push Innovation
The traditional way of applying security countermeasures has always entailed shoring up infrastructure at one location or another and hoping that attackers will be frustrated or scared off.
To combat rising cyberthreats, you need the ability to safeguard users, applications, and infrastructure across your expanding network, end-to-end and top-to-bottom. But, managing the complexity and volume of disparate solutions that do not smoothly integrate becomes a time consuming and error-prone task, as threats across your network grow and may remain undetected. Homegrown security deployments tend to slow down business operations and negatively impact productivity. Today’s enterprise hybrid networks require an agile approach network security policy management solution.
