The partnership enables the ForeScout’s automated security control platform (CounterACT) to leverage Gigamon’s Traffic Visibility Fabric to have broader visibility of all devices communicating on the network and dynamically apply security policy to reduce a range of security risks. At the heart of the combined solution is the Gigamon Visibility Fabric that provides intelligent traffic mirroring to enable CounterACT to ensure that:

• access to network resources and sensitive data is trusted and appropriate;
• endpoints are accounted for and meet security standards; and
• violations and threats can be managed faster and with reduced IT intervention.  

The partnership was formed under Gigamon’s Visibility Fabric Ecosystem Partners, which represents an ecosystem of partner companies and organizations committed to making network traffic more visible and the analytics, management and monitoring of the network more intelligent, efficient and versatile for IT and business leaders. In addition, Gigamon has become a member of the ForeScout Strategic Technical Alliance Partner program, a select group of technology companies that have partnered with ForeScout to bring richer solutions to market and better meet customer requirements.

Tokenless authentication vendor admits its preoccupation with its patented technology had held it back.

Swivel Secure is repositioning itself as a jack of all trades in the tokenless authentication market after admitting its preoccupation with its unique PINsafe technology had cost it sales.

Swivel, which offers a raft of mobile phone-based authentication solutions, has traditionally led every pitch with PINsafe, its patented one-time code extraction protocol. It also offers a browser-based solution similar to that of GrIDsure, which went under last year before its intellectual property was acquired by CryptoCard – which has itself since been gobbled up by SafeNet.

According to Gartner, the authentication market was worth $2bn (£1.3bn) in 2011 and is growing at 30 per cent annually. The market watcher said Swivel offers the broadest range of delivery options in the space.

Despite this, Chris Russell, vice president of technology at the UK-based firm, admitted that Swivel’s 20 to 30 resellers had been held back by its overemphasis on PINsafe.

“[PINsafe] is a big part of our business but we felt we were losing business in the me-too space as people associated us with just that solution,” he said.

“We had all these solutions but were not talking about it in a clear enough way for our channel partners to go out and sell them.”

And this is before we get into the realm of rogue employees and privileged identity management. And it’s against this backdrop that the fundamental principles of governance, risk and compliance (GRC – the bedrock of ISACA) have returned to the fore.

But what are today’s cyberthreats? From detailed analysis of the current threat landscape, it can be seen that the hybridised nature of today’s security threats centres on hacking, serious and organised crime and the recently-arrived issue of hacktivists.

And let’s not overlook the problem of misplaced data. Add to this the dangers hosted by smart malware code such as Stuxnet and Duqu – and the possibility of a cyberwar as outlined by Foreign Secretary William Hague this year – and you have an idea of the challenges facing government.

Overactive Imagination?
For many years there has also been some debate as to the reality of any form of cyberwar or cyberconflict – which many observers ascribe to an overactive imagination on the part of the industry’s thought leaders and analysts.

Even taking into account recent high-profile system hacks – there have been no examples of a pure cyberwar casualty. While there has never been a cyberwar, let us not forget, neither has there been a nuclear war, but such weapons of mass destruction have nevertheless been used.

During 2010/2011 the US and UK governments announced they were focusing more on cyber defences. In doing so, they indicated that this low-cost method of delivering a potentially devastating payload to the heart of the enemy’s systems was now considered a serious threat.

In addition, the UK government also revealed that, at the end of 2010, various servers has been attacked using the notorious Zeus malware. On this same topic Foreign Secretary Hague informed a Munich security conference that the attack was considered to be part of an international effort to infect systems.

Though malware is still on the rise – the concept that today’s malware is ever more imaginative is weakening and, as a result, the anti-malware developers may be a little closer to developing ahead-of-the-game compliance technologies. This should not allow complacency. The Infosecurity Europe show in the spring of 2011 saw the threat of AETs – advanced evasion threats – becoming reality, but very little media attention was given to the development of more advanced AET threats that the malware bandwagon inevitably evolved.

The risk landscape changed last year largely as a result of hacktivist groups such as Anonymous and its forebears. This is no idle threat – attacks targetted the Royal Navy, the UK government, the NHS and commercial sector organisations and newspapers.
