North Korean Cyber Attacks
Now that the dust has settled on the North Korea alleged attack on Sony (or maybe not – new information seems to be coming out every other day on this), I thought we should take a little look at how frighteningly quickly a cyber attack was able to be initiated.
Was a team of expert hackers quickly assembled? Was the vast amount of infrastructure required to undertake such an attack setup at a moment’s notice?
NGFW – Are you being left behind?
The firewall has long been the cornerstone of any organisation’s security infrastructure and even though the additional features that are considered supplementary do change from time to time, the core function of the firewall remains.

Furthermore because most don’t have the ability to be regularly updated with signature files they’re just not up to the job of dynamically keeping your network protected.
