Despite the layers of security that organizations have deployed, they are still falling victim to infections and intrusions. The problem is the fundamental approach to security, Friedrichs says.

In this video interview, Friedrichs explains:

  • The definition of a threat-centric approach;
  • How it differs from the traditional methods;
  • Technology solutions that will enable the approach.

Friedrichs is Senior Vice President, Cloud Technology Group at Sourcefire, providing direction for the company's cloud-based technology strategy and executing Sourcefire's product development roadmap for the cloud platform. He brings more than 15 years of expertise in developing innovative security technologies and has worked closely with numerous government and commercial organizations to help address their cybersecurity requirements.
