Utilizing Contextual Awareness to Combat Cyber Threats

Given the recent frenzy of high profile breaches, security is squarely in the spotlight. The increasing realization is that a breach will happen; but when? Prevention alone is not enough and security analysts need a strategy to detect, contain, and control threats. Traditional technologies offer limited value in this endeavor. Security teams need end-to-end contextual visibility coupled with analytics capabilities to help them take decisive action against malicious activity and attack profiles across the enterprise.
