FEATURES, INSIGHTS // Network Security
By combining verifiable trust, intent-based segmentation, and integrated security, organizations can establish a trustworthy, security-driven networking strategy.
Smart businesses are learning that SD-WAN can play a critical role in quickly—and securely—rolling out new networking environments, and connecting resources and users to data and applications.
Every business is likely to be subject to cyberattacks at some point, and the option is to either take on the cost of putting measures in place before it happens or paying to clean up after.
The rate at which recent networking changes have had to occur, and the speed at which cybercriminals have been able to respond, teach us clearly what is needed going forward to ensure ongoing proactive cyber protection.
For an MSP looking to grow business, the convergence of SD-WAN and security, along with the transitional needs of customers, translates to opportunity.
Network connections that can change instantaneously in response to shifting business requirements can take a security solution minutes or hours to be reconfigured. And that lag time is prime for exploitation.
Working remotely should be a positive experience. Here are a few simple suggestions that may help during this time of change.
Many organizations are not aware that their network sensors are improperly or inefficiently deployed because they do not have a full understanding of how to act on the network traffic being collected.
Physical and virtual security appliances traditionally suffer from performance challenges, especially when it comes to critical functions such as inspecting encrypted traffic.
Outpacing your security capacity with digital innovation is a formula for disaster that may take you out of the running in today’s highly competitive digital marketplace entirely.
