So for all those people who love Cace Technologies packet capture equipment what will happen now they have been acquired by Riverbed?
Will this see these wonderful devices destined to the EOL statement or maintained for us all to use?
Fingers crossed no EOL for Cace-Pcap devices please Riverbed! The Riverbed press statement below doe not give us any real clues.

Its only a matter of time...
A recent article published by the SANS team talks about pattern based malware detection catching around 35% of current threats and falling!
No real surprise and it lends huge weight to the argument that application aware firewalls, intelligent scanning using non-pattern based technologies, internal firewalling within the organisation, Endpoint security, NAC solutions and many other "enterprise only" technologies are going to have to appear in the SME space if they want to have any chance of staying safe!
Regardless of all these technologies in place exploits will get in to networks, vulnerabilities will be used and data will be leaked or lost!
Although many of the articles on these subjects talk about defence technologies and reaction techniques to truly combat this we are going to have to take on the most difficult challenge of all - User Education.
It is always going to be difficult to educate users engough to stop them clicking that link, opening that file, plugging in the freebie flash drive of exciting stuff but if we want any chance of stopping the malware we are going to have to try........and the sooner the better!
