Zscaler Proof of Concept: From Complex Routable WANs to Seamless Zero Trust Connectivity

Zscaler Zero Trust Branch Connectivity replaces complex site-to-site VPNs or SD-WANs. It secures enterprise networks using the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange, while eliminating exposed VPN ports and preventing lateral threat movement. The lightweight plug and play Branch Connector appliance provide secure connectivity for IoT/OT devices, applications, and unauthenticated users in branch offices, retail outlets, factories, and medical facilities without requiring additional firewall or SD-WAN appliances. In this proof of concept (POC), we will demonstrate how communication between unauthenticated endpoints (IoT/OT) and applications on the internet…

Kivera Proof of Concept: Preventive Guardrails to Enable Cloud Native Consumption

In this PoC, we’ll be discussing how simple misconfigurations drive the broad number of breaches in cloud. With the pace of change in cloud, finding the balance between speed and security for enterprises is challenging. Existing toolsets are focused on detection and response which creates an alert fatigue problem in itself. There is another way — preventive cloud security. We’ll be exploring how a simple set of cloud security non-negotiables can greatly minimize risk in cloud and stop breaches before they happen helping you Secure…

IP Fabric Proof of Concept: Manage Your Network, Not Your Network Devices

Traditionally, network management processes have seen the network as a series of individual devices connected together to provide services to users and deliver applications. Manual processes are centered around managing, maintaining and monitoring those devices and their interfaces and ensuring that they are behaving as we would hope. The level of understanding that is needed to translate this device-centric view into meaningful network insight is significant. Network Assurance takes a different approach – discovering the network, its config, state and topology, then creating a data…

NetBox Labs Proof of Concept: Network Automation Success Relies on a Network Source of Truth

As network complexity increases, automation will play a key role in ensuring reliability across enterprise networks. Yet, despite the number of new network automation tools on the market, Gartner estimated only 22% of companies had any network automation. One reason automation isn’t taking off? The massive effort it takes to gather the inventory of your network, and to ensure that data is accurate. A network source of truth like NetBox Cloud gives network teams at least one easy button in this regard. It provides a…
