Such a framework enables the prevention of known attacks, detection of zero-day threats and
detection of anomalous behavior that can indicate breaches that have circumvented defenses.
The alerts and information from each solution are correlated and condensed by solutions like
security information and event management systems that will enable security teams to quickly
focus their attention on the most important threats.

The threat landscape is such that no one category of solutions will do. Organizations need to
both prevent and detect the many complex attacks against the network. A comprehensive view
of network activity is possible when security prevention and detection solutions work together.
An adaptive security architecture is one that can record network data for near-real-time forensic
analysis and post-breach analysis, providing the network visibility needed today to combat
advanced threats.
