GM Auto Dealer Lan Security Readiness with T1 Service

Written by: ShopForT1.net - Aug 20, 2008

In response to the growing IP threat facing GM and their auto dealers nationwide, GM has recommended they adopt a multi-layer security strategy that includes a business-class dedicated Internet connection like a T1 service which will reduce the amount of unwanted attacks by about half.

Every Internet connection, whether it is a bank, an apartment complex, a house, or a dealership, is identified only by an IP address. Attacks are indiscriminate and usually "automated"; in actuality, targeted assaults are actually very rare.

Many past and current manufacturers are not equipped to handle today's more sophisticated "Blended Threats". For example, suppose a user wants to download a file from an FTP site or even a web mail message. A typical firewall will see that a user is trying to use an FTP or HTTP service and allow this to occur. A firewall that is designed to protect against "Blended Threats" will actually analyze this traffic to make sure it is safe from viruses or other malicious application (i.e. grey ware).

Every day, criminals are getting more and more sophisticated in their attempts to compromise devices on the Internet. Because of this, businesses must also become more sophisticated in order to protect their assets and privacy. Security is not a destination. It is a repeating process of monitoring, analysis, and modifying/upgrading. A "Blended Threat" management service is the best method of protecting an infrastructure for businesses that do not have the resources to take this task on by themselves.
