This report examines five major vendors – Akamai, Imperva, CloudFlare, F5 and DistilNetworks - and outlines how their products can coordinate to successfully secure web infrastructure and online data. Each company’s ‘Corporate DNA’ leads to a degree of specialization, and attendant limitations.
The potential threat of sophisticated new online attacks has vastly increased the burden on every category of security vendor. In this challenging new environment, CDNs struggle with dynamic content and enormous DDoS attacks, while WAFs contend with undocumented access requests. Many security appliances can’t assess and adapt to threats in real time, and potentially block legitimate traffic. Recent website breaches also demonstrate that traditional WAFs, CDNs, and DDoS mitigation solutions have failed to keep pace with the variety, volume and sophistication of today’s bot and botnet attacks. To address this security threat, bot detection and mitigation services must evolve beyond absorbing rare volumetric attacks into scrubbing centers, or simplistic IP – and user agent-based detection.
Network security is no longer an insurance policy protecting from a highly unlikely event. Security breaches are the new norm.
This has resulted in a flood of new network security solutions to defend against the constant wave of advanced threats. Managing the network traffic that goes into your security appliances, as well as the systems themselves, is a critical function that ensures network success.

The endpoint security market is in the middle of a major upheaval, and many would argue it’s not before time. The endpoint antivirus model of having a large sophisticated endpoint client on each device, with updates to keep defenses current, has been ineffective for years, while new solutions have been relatively slow to emerge.
2015 clearly shows that today's threats are global and highly dynamic, but what can companies and individual do?
