White Papers

In this white paper, we examine this need for a new first line of defense and why existing infrastructure tools like firewalls and intrusion prevention systems don’t meet the need. We look at the key steps of protection that a new type of solution must provide in order to mitigate today’s types of cyber attacks. And finally, we look at how Corero’s First Line of Defense solution prevents DDoS attacks and protects the investment in existing infrastructure.

Cyber attackers are increasingly focusing their attention on Industrial Control Systems (ICS). The impact of taking down one of these systems can be devastating because they are used to monitor and control a variety of operations in industrial facilities, including military institutions, power grids, water distribution systems and public and private buildings. 

For the most comprehensive protection against all forms of DDoS attack, iGaming companies should bet on on-premises DDoS defense appliances.  This white paper examines: who is responsible for the DDoS threat against the iGaming industry; what's at stake for gambling services companies; the latest DDoS attack trends, and recommendations for an effective DDoS defense program to thwart those who would do your business harm.

Traditional DDoS services and products are inadequate when it comes to stopping new and insidious application-layer DDoS attacks. This white paper examines what’s at stake for the enterprise, the latest DDoS attack trends and guidelines for your DDoS defense program.

DDoS attacks are a significant threat that every organization doing business on the Internet needs to take seriously. For many businesses today, a denial of service spanning a few hours or more can result in a disastrous loss of revenue and reputation. Learn about DDoS attacks and how to mitigate the risk.

Written by Paul Reymann, co-author of Gramm-Leach Bliley Act, this paper provides an overview of the increased threat to your organization from Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks and how to defend your network from such attacks.

Network security threats are on the rise as cyber criminals continue to develop innovative ways to use compromised computers for their own personal gain, creating havoc and jeopardizing security and privacy in the process. Organizations should understand the likely evolution of the threat landscape and develop an appropriate security strategy to address these evolving threats. This paper discusses how Network Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) play a critical role in a layered approach to security to protecting against current and future cyber threats.

As the health care industry relies more heavily on web-based infrastructure to streamline patient services, the federal government has stepped in to mandate providing better access to confidential information while seeking to limit the exposure of sensitive data. This paper explains how IPS solutions helps meet these mandates to protect information.

Attackers continue to make headlines stealing customer data, while PCI (Payment Card Industry) affected enterprises scurry to protect this critical information.  This paper reviews some of the key mechanisms enterprises must provide meeting PCI requirements to ensure customer data.

This white paper explores the meaning of GRC, how information technology (IT) GRC creates value within an organization, and why Intrusion Prevention Systems are a key part of a successful IT GRC strategy.
