Physical Security

Reduce Complexity for Physical Servers and Endpoints

Even while you virtualize and move resources to the cloud, there will still be a place for dedicated physical servers in your data center. They give you the highest level of visibility and control, provide dedicated computing resources, and support specialty hardware and software. And you will undoubtedly still have physical endpoint devices, even as you introduce VDI, support cloud applications, and look to embrace consumerization in your workplace. So, you’ll need to continue to provide effective security for both physical servers and endpoints.

With change on the horizon—or already in your data center—it’s important to start with a strong security foundation that can expand with your needs. Consolidating vendors on your physical security is a good place to begin improving protection. And finding a security expert with a broad portfolio will help you secure your data wherever it resides with consistent security and management across all deployments.

Lower Infections and Costs with Consolidated Security

As your security for physical servers and endpoints has evolved over time, you may have added point products and layered security from different vendors. Sadly, this can create a glut of products that only increases the complexity of management while leaving significant security gaps.

Consolidating your physical security can certainly reduce complexity with a single source for updates and upgrades. Plus it’s always nicer to have a single support contract and a single account relationship overall. But perhaps more importantly, using a single vendor to protect multiple points in your network can actually improve your protection. Correlating threat intelligence across your network strengthens your defenses, integrates visibility and control, and gives you the critical insight you need for better protection.

Get Detailed Visibility and Control

Today’s advanced persistent threats (APTs), zero-day malware, and targeted attacks are sneaky. They are designed to evade conventional perimeter and content security. Not to worry. Effective security and risk management can give you the visibility and control you need to combat these threats.

For security management, consolidating with a single security vendor unifies management across your security portfolio. Network-wide security integration lets you to streamline administration, merge reports, and automate routine tasks—overall improving security, lowering costs, and minimizing complexity.

Adding risk management to the mix takes you a step beyond traditional security management to a proactive process of real-time threat and vulnerability management. This additional layer of visibility and control arms you to defend your network by detecting advanced threats before they can do damage. Together, security management and risk management give you the insight you need to keep your network secure.
