<p>The exponential growth in malware variants has made endpoint security a seemingly impossiblechallenge. As the number and types of endpoints have also increased significantly, so has theimportance of deploying perimeter network security technology that can scale to protect all endusers, servers and traffic while coping with the growth of traffic and malware and othercyberthreats.</p><p>The extra level of analysis NBMD products offer can uncoverhard-to-detect custom and polymorphic malware, often used in APT-style attacks.</p><p>Network-based malware detection (NBMD) is emerging as an alternative to signature-based endpointantimalware software. These products are "always on" and are not susceptible to the techniquesmodern malware uses to defeat and bypass client-based security. However, deployments are often achallenge: NBMD needs to be inline to have the greatest effect, but without careful tuning, it canbe too aggressive and disrupt mission-critical applications and business processes.</p><p>In this tip, we'll look at how to deployinline network-based malware detection successfully, including best practices for managing andtuning the system to prevent disruptions to the application infrastructure.NBMD advantages</p><p><a href="http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/tip/Keys-to-a-successful-network-based-malware-detection-deployment">Keep reading...</a></p>
