CTI works with a number of other security devices including Cisco ASA and PIX products as well as CheckPoint, Netgear and Fortigate to name a few.
Internal threats
These threats can come in the form of disgruntled employees who may try to corrupt or delete data or simply from theft. In the case of health care information this can be a serious problem (HIPAA - Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). Solutions can include user auditing, enforcing password policies or video surveillance to name a few. As always, a solid and tested backup and recovery plan needs to be in place should a problem arise.
Another threat can be to productivity. With the rise in popularity of social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace, employees may be spending company time and IT resources surfing personal sites. Without the ability to track which sites have been visited and by who, businesses may be unknowingly allowing employees to visit adult or even illegal sites. Through the use of content filtering and proxy servers, CTI can mitigate these problems before they become issues.
Remote Access
When accessing office computing resources from home or while on travel it is always best of utilize virtual private network (VPN) technology. VPN technology allows data to move over the Internet securely using the latest encryption technologies. This same technology can facilitate sharing of software and hardware resources with disparate or remote offices. SonicWall engineers a full line of VPN capable devices which utilize SSLVPN as well as traditional IPSEC schemes to keep your data secure and your people connected.
External threats
With almost 2 billion Internet users Worldwide, external attacks to your network can literally come from anywhere. It's important to keep public servers segmented from internal servers to ensure your data is safe. Through the use of virtual local area networks (VLANs) and modern intrusion detection firewalls, CTI can make sure business doesn't become a casualty of Internet hacking.
