2016 Dell Security Annual Threat Report Summary Click here for the 2016 Dell Security Annual Threat Report

Click here for a video overviewKey Findings 64 Million unique malware samples (73% growth since 2014) 2.17 Trillion IPS attacks blocked (2x since 2013) and 8.2 Billion malware attacks blocked (3.5x since 2013) Malware tended to last longer and often times was dominant in specific geographies. Top Delivery Methods were Email / Phishing. Website Downloads. Portable Devices

(USB) and Text Messages (SMS) Exploit kits evolved with greater speed, heightened stealth and novel shape-shifting

abilitieso Use of anti-forensic mechanisms to evade security systemso Upgrades in evasion techniques such as URL pattern changeso Changes to landing page redirection techniques (ie…Steganography)o Modifications in landing page entrapment techniques

HTTPS web connections now make up 61% of total connectionso SSL/TLS encryption continued to surge and led to under-the-radar hacks

affecting 900M+ users Popular malware families continued to morph from season to season and differed

across the globe Malware for the Android ecosystem continued to rise and evolve

o New variant that added a randomly generated PIN to the typical ransomware lock screen

o Dropping malicious code as part of a library file rather than a classes fileo Financial sector continued to be a prime target for Android malware

Future Projections: There will be a battle between HTTPS encryption and threat scanning will continue to

rage as companies fear performance trade-offs Flash zero-days will drop gradually as major browser vendors have stopped supporting

Flash plugins. Malicious threats will target Android Pay through the vulnerabilities of Near Field

Communication (NFC)

Recommendations:

Implement a multi-layer, multi-method security approach Defend : Before an attack occurs, fortify your position to prevent a breach. Detect : During an attack, ensure your tools see the threat and act quickly to prevent it Discover : After penetration, ensure visibility unmasks the threat quickly to minimize

loss

Juniper whips out knife, slices off security productsClick here for full article

Months after Juniper Networks confirmed the prioritization of revenue-generating projects, the firm has quietly dumped several security products, causing upset to some of its nearest and dearest in the channel.

Following a “disappointing” set of calendar Q3 financials, Juniper’s then CEO, Shaygan Kheradpir, said it was cutting costs by “careful management of headcount” and concentrating on money-making areas

Of course the man had left the building less than three weeks later due to a disagreement with the board over his conduct in relation to a single customer, but his successor is pushing ahead with plans to lower exposes.

A Juniper spokeswoman confirmed to The Channel that it will jettison the FireFly Host, WebApp Secure and DDoS Secure products from 2015, though current customers will “continue to receive support”.

The PR person did not answer why those products are to be shelved, clearly they were not doing the numbers. Neither did the company representative reveal the replacements channel partners should propose.

This has left channel types scratching their heads as leading with security opened more customers doors than switches and routers.

“Juniper does not have anything to replace the dropped products, which I remember were launched with huge fanfare as their new holistic ‘end to end’ (awful phrase) security solution (again sorry),” one told us.

He added the SRX firewalls are “tough to sell” against Checkpoint and Cisco in the large enterprise where many customers have already invested in those vendors, “and they get roundly beaten on price in the SME space by Fortinet and SonicWall”.

This all feeds into persistent talk in the industry that Juniper is looking at exiting security, leaving it with service providers and switch customers as their target audience.

In Q3, revenues were down eight per cent year-on-year to $1.12bn though it was up for the nine months of the year to $3.52bn from $3.4bn. Operating profit for the nine months was down 23.8 per cent to $282m as operating expenses went through the roof.

The spokeswoman at Juniper said it remains “committed” to the security business “which is critical to the successful execution of our strategy for delivering High-IQ networks for cloud builders in the areas of Cloud Data Centre, IT Data Centre and Cloud-Enabled Campus.”

“Over the past few years, consumer-grade routers have emerged as a key security threat. Whether manufactured by Asus, Linksys, D-Link, Micronet, Tenda, TP-Link, or others, small office/home office (SOHO) routers have suffered a variety of real-world attacks that in some cases have allowed hackers to remotely commandeer hundreds of thousands of

devices .” http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/07/sohoplessly-brokenhacking-contest-aims-to-test-home-router-security/

Benefit Feature Dell Barracuda Notes

Technology Leadership

STRONG CHALLENGED

Dell SonicWALL is a technology leader with fourteen approved patents and many more pending in the areas of Email Security and threat protection. Barracuda has relatively few resources dedicated to research and development of threat technologies. Barracuda has a strong dependence on open source software resulting in a low spam catch rate and high false positive rate. Administrators are constantly tweaking and adding new scanning rules to catch spam that their engine misses. SonicWALL, through its GRID Network and pre-trained Bayesian filters, produces one of the industry’s best spam catch rates and lowest false positive rates.

Zero Day Protection STRONG CHALLENGED

Barracuda relies on voluntary contributions from their closed network of 50,000 customers. SonicWALL’s Time Zero virus technology uses predictive and responsive technologies to stay on top of outbreaks as they happen, in real time. Barracuda provides Anti-Spam updates less frequently. Dell SonicWALL, using the GRID network, delivers spam, phishing and virus updates every 5 minutes.

Spam Catch Rates FULL SUPPORT PARTIAL SUPPORT

Dell® SonicWALL has 14 approved patents and a strong security research lab in-house. Barracuda’s spam-catch rate (88%) is significantly lower than SonicWALL’s out of box catch rate (98%). Barracuda uses open source spam assassin which spammers have access to and thus knowledge to circumvent detection. Barracuda requires admins to constantly tweak and add scanning rules to catch spam that their engine misses.

False Positives STRONG CHALLENGED

SonicWALL, by incorporating pre-trained Bayesian filters and leveraging the powerful Grid Network, produces one of the industry’s lowest false positive rates. Barracuda's Open Source spam engine has a high false positive rate. Administrators are constantly tweaking and adding new scanning rules to catch spam that their engine misses. Dell SonicWALL through its GRID Network and pre-trained Bayesian filters produces one of the industry’s lowest false positive rates.

Virus Outbreak Filters FULL SUPPORT PARTIAL SUPPORTBarracuda relies on a closed and limited network of customers, who may or may not contribute data, unlike Dell SonicWALL GRID AV which is populated by hundreds of thousands of Dell SonicWALL firewalls and email security solutions and millions of Anti-spam desktop deployments

Premium Anti-virus support

FULL SUPPORT NO SUPPORTBarracuda relies on open source ClamAV. They have no support for enterprise class AV services such asMcAfee or Kaspersky AV.

High Throughput FULL SUPPORT PARTIAL SUPPORT

Barracuda’s claims of throughput and performance – 1M messages per day, are empty promises as reported by users, especially for their low end boxes. Dell SonicWALL’s high performance MTA with pioneering hybrid processing achieves performance 2x ~ 10x faster than Barracuda. Because Barracuda’s open source technology (Linux and Postfix MTA) cannot handle significant loads so they separate inbound and outbound filtering onto two separate appliances increasing cost and complexity.

Full Functionality FULL SUPPORT PARTIAL SUPPORTBarracuda strips off functionality in models 100, 200, 300 and 400. Dell SonicWALL provides full functionality in all models. Advance features are only available on their B-600 and above. Barracuda only supports full end-user controls beginning with the Model B-600. SonicWALL has superior capability in all models

Policy Rules STRONG CHALLENGEDBarracuda has features that permit attachment stripping/blocking/quarantining, footer attachment, body/header keyword blocking/quarantining and rules for credit card and SSN but nothing else.

Per Orgnization User Support

STRONG CHALLENGEDBarracuda has implemented a reasonable per-domain management & view, however it’s only available on the higher end models. Dell SonicWALL offers multi-tenancy where multiple organizational units can be supported in the same instance on all platforms. Each OU in turn can support multiple domains

Multiple Platform Support

FULL SUPPORT NO SUPPORT

Dell SonicWALL email security solution is delivered in multiple delivery platforms including appliances, Windows Servers, Windows Server SBS, Virtual Appliances for the VMware platform, as an add-on service on Dell SonicWALL firewall, as a hosted service and on Windows desktops. Barracuda does not support Windows platforms and has limited functionality in the low to mid-level boxes. Tiered functionality limits the option to customers needing high availability and scalability to buy bigger boxes increasing TCO making it a compelling compliment to organizations running MS Exchange. Barracuda continues to push their hardware appliances in these markets.

Centralized Reporting FULL SUPPORT NO SUPPORTBarracuda offers no centralized reporting across multiple appliances. Dell SonicWALL provides comprehensive reporting across multiple appliances.

Ease of Use STRONG CHALLENGEDBarracuda requires constant admin tweaking and users updating white and block lists to increase effectiveness. Barracuda’s use of a scoring system is less intuitive and requires policies to be created to quarantine messages that do not meet specific threshold levels. Gartner has consistently rated SonicWALL high in these areas.

Low Cost HA FULL SUPPORT PARTIAL SUPPORT

To achieve failover and high-availability using the Barracuda solution, you need to purchase and configure two different machines with separate subscription for models under B-400. Dell SonicWALL with its splitmode architecture allows an easy and cost-effective way to build a high availability solution allowing active/active clustering and shared subscription for all models.

Low TCO FULL SUPPORT PARTIAL SUPPORT

Dell SonicWALL provides total effectiveness for inbound and outbound filtering on one single appliance. Barracuda recommends the deployment of two boxes. This significantly increases the costs of Barracuda’s configurations. Models 200 through 900 do have the ability to run inbound and limited outbound filtering. In this ‘hybrid mode’, outbound filtering is limited to attachment scanning, virus filtering, rate control and TLS-based encryption. Also, Barracuda charges you to grow by limiting the functionality they provide in their low end models. As your company grows and requires more functionality, you’ll need to buy completely new systems with Barracuda. With SonicWALL you have all the functionality you’ll ever need – you just add users.

MSP Support FULL SUPPORT NO SUPPORT

The Dell SonicWALL on-premises Email Security products provide a compelling platform to build a hosted service for MSPs. The solution offers MSP friendly features like multi-tenancy, re-branding, Multi-LDAP support etc. For MSPs who want to minimize upfront investment the Dell SonicWALL Hosted Email Security offers an easy to provision highly profitable, email security software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering for SMB customers that delivers superior cloud-based protection from spam, phishing attacks and malware. - Barracuda lacks MSP friendly features like multi-tenancy, re-branding etc. - Barracuda products are targeted for the SMB customer and discourage MSPs in using their solution to capture value
