BrandPost: Modern Networks Need Modern Security. So, Where Do You Start?
Today’s networks are hybrid collections of interconnected systems composed of campuses, physical and virtual data centers, multi-cloud environments, and branch offices. And they also include a work-from-anywhere workforce that needs consistent access to applications and resources whether working on-premises, at home, or while traveling.
But digital acceleration isn’t just transforming our networks and how we do business. In terms of network security, the days of placing a firewall at the edge of the network perimeter and calling it a day are also long behind us. To provide consistent protection for every user and device, regardless of location, security must be agile, adaptive, scalable, and integrated.

Tools like SD-WAN, SASE, ZTE, and ZTNA have entered the cybersecurity lexicon, and many leaders are still unsure where or when to implement them.
