Gartner last month released its "Five styles of Advanced Threat Defense" framework which attempts to update a layered defence model for enterprises to be able to protect against APTs (Advanced Persistent Threats) or ATAs (Advanced Targeted Attacks because, it says, "traditional defence tools are failing to protect enterprises from advanced targeted attacks and the broader problem of advanced malware. In 2013, enterprises will spend more than $13 billion on firewalls, intrusion prevention systems (IPSs), endpoint protection platforms and secure web gateways. Yet, advanced targeted attacks (ATAs) and advanced malware continue to plague enterprises."
