Imagine your network as a highway. Per-packet load balancing splits your data into tiny cars and sends them down multiple lanes, promising faster speeds. But what if some lanes have hidden potholes and traffic jams? For TCP, the protocol powering most of your critical apps, per-packet load-balancing can backfire spectacularly.
Zero Trust requires organizations to assume that threats can originate from anywhere—both inside and outside the network. This approach emphasizes strict identity verification and continuous monitoring to protect sensitive resources. Advanced security tools, such as Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs), play a pivotal role in implementing this strategy. These technologies provide enhanced visibility and granular access control to meet the demands of hybrid and cloud-first environments.
The Internet of Things (IoT) offers exciting new opportunities for growth and innovation. From fostering collaboration between organizations to enabling entirely new services, IoT is at the heart of many technological revolutions.
This latest survey is more confirmation that an oft-mentioned reality continues to be true – that the nature of threats keeps advancing and organizations frequently find themselves falling further and further behind. Far and away, the top reason given for increased stress isn’t low budgets or lack of training or failure of company leadership to prioritize security – even though these are among the reasons cited – it’s the “threat landscape is increasingly complex,” listed by 81 percent of respondents, nearly double the next-closest response.
Understanding the cyber attack surface Historically, the “attack surface” was limited to well-known points of external exposure—the traditional perimeter of websites, external IP addresses, and endpoints. Our cyber attack surface has expanded dramatically over the past five years, now encompassing our cloud estate, millions of devices at the edge, and mobile and remote workers, in addition to our internet-facing infrastructure. This expansion of the definition to include cloud, end-user, and internal assets has been driven by the increasing sophistication of cyber attacks. The table below breaks down today’s complex attack surface into several categories, based on a framework presented by…
Zero Trust is a cybersecurity paradigm that assumes no user, device, or network segment is inherently trustworthy—even if it’s inside the corporate perimeter. Instead of granting implicit trust based on location or network membership, Zero Trust requires every access attempt to be verified and authorized, reducing the attack surface and preventing lateral movement by attackers.
Today, CrowdStrike reported a significant outage affecting multiple services, including their Falcon platform. The CrowdStrike team is actively working to resolve the issue and restore full functionality. Users are advised to monitor CrowdStrike’s official status page for real-time updates and follow any recommended actions provided by the company.
In today’s hyper-connected digital landscape, enterprises need to have a robust and cost-effective Security Service Edge (SSE) solution to combat increasingly sophisticated cyber threats and to support digital transformation.
To 100G and Beyond: The Next Frontier for SASE In the ever-evolving landscape of enterprise networking and security, a significant transformation is underway. Siloed, point product infrastructures are giving way to a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) approach, driven by the rapid adoption of cloud technologies, the increased reliance on collaboration tools, and the emergence of hybrid work models.
In today’s digital era, businesses require seamless connectivity and optimal application performance across their globally dispersed sites to stay productive. Combining Versa Networks Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) with Hyperscalers‘ “private highways” is an innovative approach to achieve this goal.
