Beyond the Next Generation:
Putting Advanced Network Security to Work

Many network security technologies claim to be the "next generation" of network defense - but what does this actually mean?

As the demands of an increasingly complex threat landscape have been compounded by the shift of functionality toward applications, the common needs of a range of network security requirements have led to overlaps in emerging technologies that are forging a convergence of functionality. Converged Network Security (CNS) systems integrate a wider range of capabilities and break down silos in network defense more than ever before.

Download this EMA report to understand how CNS systems put today's more advanced capabilities to work in practical application. Learn how IBM's Security Network Protection XGS 5000 delivers intelligence-driven, application-aware defense against a variety of threats, and the required extensibility to confront whatever may come tomorrow.
