As cybercriminals become more aggressive and creative in their mission to gain access to protected networks, many are turning to advanced evasion techniques. Evasions help camouflage exploits and malware attacks, leaving enterprise networks wide open to cybercriminals anywhere on the Internet.

This whitepaper provides an overview of evasion techniques and the most common vulnerabilities in current network security devices such as inadequate data stream inspections and poor packet-oriented pattern matching techniques.

You will also find details about the approach that Forcepoint takes for intrusion protection systems and next-generation firewalls, taking away the “master key” criminals use for countless evasion techniques, giving you the ability to confidently detect and block malicious content.
