Agile Security

Summary: A Cisco Talos author describes "Agile Security," a corporate marketing framework that maps a four-phase security cycle - See, Learn, Adapt, Act - to how organizations should keep network defense current against changing threats. The post explains each phase: tracking network topology and new devices, mapping vulnerabilities and malware to vulnerable targets, converting intelligence into detection such as Snort rules or ClamAV signatures, and bringing those defenses online before the cycle repeats.

Bottom line: The framework's own premise is that static defenses cannot stand up to today's threat environment, and the cycle only closes if an organization can see what it is defending right now - a hard ask as smartphones, tablets and laptops keep entering the network and technology turns over rapidly.
