Application-Layer Security: What It Takes to Enable the Next Generation of Security Services

Overview In today's world of increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks, application-layer security threats are top of mind with many network administrators, security consultants and CIOs. The loss of network and application access can cost enterprises dearly in lost revenue and employee productivity. The security infrastructure must address the new wave of application-layer security attacks and application abuse. The solution is a layered security strategy that protects the network at all points of attack. In this fight, Nortel Application Switches (formerly known as Alteon Application Switches) and Switched Firewall (formerly known as Alteon Switched Firewall) offer administrators an invaluable tool that is uniquely positioned to provide application-layer security by leveraging highly specialized deep-packet inspection capabilities.
