Enterprise networks have evolved beyond just enabling the client-server apps of yesteryear. Your apps are no longer in your data centers, and your users are no longer in the office. Many infrastructure managers are wondering what that expensive WAN is really doing for them. It’s a fair question to ask in the era of cloud-centric hybrid workplaces. At the same time, as users have left the building, IoT and OT devices have proliferated. An enterprise WAN today is carrying less business application traffic and more…
Learn why IDS/IPS is not only relevant in the cloud but required for enterprises. As organizations moved to the cloud, many we’ve spoken with about securing workloads in public cloud asked an important question: since I don’t manage infrastructure anymore (well, mostly), do I still care about infrastructure-level security like IDS/IPS? The short answer is yes, you should. Here is why… As enterprises make the leap to the public cloud (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and Oracle), some security problems fade (e.g., infrastructure patching, defending against…
