(My Note) Security Solutions Catalog

10 years ago, Security used to be = firewall (gateway) and anti-virus (end point).

Then a few years later, some enterprise thought about IPS.

If your company had a website providing corporate information only, then you didn't have to concern about data / servers side......except website defacement prevention (maybe).

As a security sales person who wanted to sell more? What about those anti-spam solution on email services.

But today's enterprise.....

- More companies understand the business benefit that Internet brings, for example:

- "Cloud" provides an instant service without huge furst time investment, where bring security and data privacy concern

- BYOD allows company to leverage staff mobility resource, and again this also means rapid number of insecure "doors" (mobile devices) which make hacker live easier.

- More security devices in a company means a more difficult operation and monitoring

- etc.

Security is getting more complicated, not for my clients, but for me as well. :P

I always put a so-called "security solution catalog" in my mind as below. This helps my security discussion (selling) with client. More than that, this facilitate me to classify and position differents solution in my security solution portfolio. This is so far the easiest way for my poor memory.
