Next-Generation Intrusion Prevention: Comprehensive Defense Against APTs

Today's enterprises and government agencies are faced with advanced persistent threats (APTs).

The attackers are far more patient than the perpetrators of yesterday's simple smash-and-grab operations. Often these attacks are too sophisticated to be countered by today's typical information security defenses.
