The network perimeter had matured enough to safeguard the enterprise from malware. But the rise of ransomware and the COVID-19-inspired shift from office to remote and hybrid work models has forever changed the game. Attacks and breaches are more prevalent than ever. Successful breaches rose by another 13% in 2022, with ransomware attacks growing by 18%. You can read more about the seriousness of the current security situation at the network edge in our “Infographic: Why you need Zero Trust and SSE at the edge.” 

Security without Limitations 

When you consider that forensic investigators have discovered that the bad guys remain present within a network for more than six months during the average data breach and that critical security alerts just rose by nearly 40%, it is clearly time for a shift of approach. There are just too many remote workers using insecure devices for business as usual to be possible.

However, increased security also shouldn’t alienate the hybrid workforce or inhibit their ability to do their jobs. Our new solution brief, “Security at the Edge: Welcome to the Cyber-Jungle,” lays out the many elements of a modern secure enterprise network and the best path for implementation. These include: 

  • Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) secures edge environments by creating a single fabric for networking services. 
  • Secure Service Edge (SSE) focuses on securely enabling end-user access and simplicity to SASE.   
  • Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) brings stricter access controls to the edge.    
  • Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) delivers such tools as services to ease the deployment and maintenance burden on enterprise IT.
