Attackers have progressed from scanning network ports and creating denial-of-service attacks to targeting software such as Web browsers, Web servers, e-mail programs and even database servers. Viruses can sometimes go undetected through traditional firewalls, which typically scan only the headers of packets - the envelopes - and ignore the payload. Traditional firewalls have become victims of their own success, because today's attackers rarely bother with SYN floods or similar denial-of-service attacks. What is needed is application layer filtering software, such as Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2004, which not only helps protect against rogue packets and network attacks but also checks for more advanced attacks.
