VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE

 

Juniper Networks has announced the findings of a new Ponemon Institute report, which revealed that on an average the security posture of Indian organizations surveyed is only 4.7 based on a scale of 10 being very effective. 

The Efficacy of Emerging Network Security Technologies study, commissioned globally by Juniper Networks, shows that securing web traffic is by far the most significant network security concern for the majority of organizations (64 per cent) surveyed. However, less than half (46 per cent) of respondents agreed that emerging network security technologies are not as effective as they should be and do not minimize attacks that bring down web applications or block unwarranted Internet traffic.

Ravi Chauhan, Managing Director India and SAARC, Juniper Networks, said, “Security remains a major concern among organizations. The Ponemon Institute report reveals that even emerging network security technologies are not as effective as they should be. Companies need to review their security investment weighting, to assess whether the areas of greatest risk are receiving adequate attention and how they can address serious security threats.”

Organizations believe that their emerging network technologies only partly address their security concerns.  63 per cent of those surveyed say emerging network security technologies only address part of the security threats facing their organizations and 50 per cent say blocking of IP addresses is not an effective security measure.......See More
