Overview
What is Threat Prevention?
Threat prevention refers to the measures and strategies put in place to proactively identify, mitigate, and defend against potential threats on computer networks and systems. The main goal of threat prevention is to minimize the risk of unauthorized access, data breaches, system compromises, and other security incidents that could result in financial loss, reputational damage, or disruption of business operations.
ACTION STEPS
Stop advanced threats
Within the realm of cybersecurity, prevention of threats encompasses several tools and policies that work together to safeguard the network — traditionally focusing on protecting the network perimeter and shielding traffic. With harmful malware and phishing attacks becoming a more prominent threat these days, advanced security is now required at every layer of the network, including - but not limited to - IAM and Network Segmentation.
Secure the company network
Implementing multi-layered access controls ensures complete network security — protecting only the perimeter is no longer enough.
Protect devices anywhere
Secure your own devices against outside threats and detect Jailbroken devices that can be used for malicious purposes.
Respond to incidents quickly
In the event of a perimeter breach, quick action is needed to narrow the area of attack and limit the scale of infiltration.

Frequently asked questions
Threat Prevention is a term used to describe the way security solutions work together towards protecting the business network from malicious behavior or malicious code. Different features work in different ways to contribute to a multi-layered security offering that integrates into the existing network infrastructure.
Threat Prevention is crucial to organizations because it is in their best interests to protect valuable assets, data, and resources that are stored within their networks. Today, cyberattacks and threats are more frequent than ever and can appear in many different forms. Having a robust and adaptive security solution like NordLayer can prevent these events from happening in the first place, or limit the scale of damage if they do occur.
Businesses have traditionally been a main target for cyberattackers and malicious software that steal data, look to acquire information, or disrupt everyday operations. Whilst it's difficult to forecast the intentions of a cyber attack, we know that data theft for the purpose of leaking it into the public domain is a common occurrence — as is ransomware, which threatens to release sensitive information unless a financial sum is paid. These are common threats to business networks and the kinds of threats that NordLayer’s security features work to prevent.
The tools that are used to prevent imminent threats can include anything from endpoint Threat Prevention for devices connecting from remote locations, secure access management to ensure all users have authorization to reach certain areas of the network, or even a Business VPN to shield activity and data transfer from untrusted users. A full range of security features for Threat Prevention is offered by security solutions for modern businesses — like NordLayer.
