10 QUESTIONS TO ASK BEFORE MAKING A SECURITY INVESTMENT
PRESENTED BY he demand for
T ongoing digital innovation has led to the rapid expansion of network edges . The LAN , data center , WAN , and cloud environments now include the convergence of IT and OT , 5G and LTE networks , CASB , offnet workers , edge computing and distributed cloud , and most recently , the home edge . The result is an expanded and splintered perimeter that has made deploying and managing consistent security a chronic , and growing , problem . Complicating the issue further , attacks are developing new levels of sophistication , doing things like leveraging cloud compute to deliver polymorphic attack sequences at rapid scale and with full automation .
As organisations continue to accelerate their digital innovation initiatives , ensuring their security can keep up with both an expanding network founded on existing and new technologies and today ’ s complex and fast-evolving threat landscape is critical . What ’ s at stake for many organisations is their entire digital business strategy .
The challenge with rapidly expanding the network edge and the growing complexity of attack sequences that span the network is that seeing and responding to new threats requires a security infrastructure that works as a single , integrated system . However , many of the security and networking technologies needed to make things work don ’ t work together . This creates new security and performance gaps that cyber adversaries are all too willing and able to exploit . u
