Pace recently spoke with Damballa VP Asia-Pacific & Japan Daniel Schneerson about why monitoring networks is the way to go for cyber-security in the 21st century. “I think monitoring the network for malicious behaviour has always been a smart way to go,” said Schneerson. “The old methods of security are prevention-based and not designed to deal with emerging technologies like the IoT.  It’s not possible or practical to use traditional products like gateway or endpoint protection on IoT-connected devices.” “How do you install and enforce end-point protection on a refrigerator or a farm tractor? What about OS systems? It’s doubtful a refrigerator is running on Windows. How can you implement a secure web gateway on devices that connect via mobile or third party networks? These are some of the reasons why real-time monitoring of the network makes more sense.”
