Sie möchten Ihre IT/OT zuverlässig absichern – ohne komplizierte Netzwerkumbauten?

In diesem Webinar erfahren Sie, wie Unternehmen mit softwarebasierter Segmentierung Sicherheitsrisiken nachhaltig reduzieren.

Klassische Firewalls sichern Netzwerksegmente und Übergänge zuverlässig ab. Doch sobald es um interne Kommunikation zwischen Systemen geht, stoßen sie an Grenzen: Feingranulare Steuerung erfordert komplexe IP-Architekturen und disruptive Netzwerkumbauten. Für moderne, heterogene Umgebungen mit Servern, Clients, VDI, Cloud, Kubernetes und OT ist dieser Ansatz oft zu schwerfällig.

Mit Akamai Guardicore setzen Sie eine einheitliche Segmentierungslösung ein, die sich softwarebasiert, flexibel und infrastrukturunabhängig in bestehende Netze integrieren lässt. Anstatt Routing oder IP-Konzepte umzustellen, können Sie phasenweise und bedarfsgerecht starten: erst Sichtbarkeit schaffen, dann gezielt interne Übergänge kontrollieren – bis hin zur vollständigen Zero-Trust-Segmentierung.

Das erwartet Sie im Webinar:
 • Ganzheitliche Segmentierung: eine Plattform für Server, Clients, VDI, Cloud, Kubernetes & OT
 • Zero Trust in der Praxis: Angreiferbewegungen stoppen, bevor Schaden entsteht
 • Volle Transparenz: Echtzeit-Visualisierung sämtlicher Kommunikationsflüsse – auch zwischen IT und OT
 • Compliance vereinfachen: Reports und Nachweise auf Knopfdruck
 • Praxisnahe Einblicke und Live-Demo

Strategic Edge Computing: Elevating Security and Performance for Enterprises

As organizations embrace the cloud-native edge, the convergence of digital and physical infrastructures has created both unprecedented opportunities and challenges. Security, traditionally discussed in fragmented pieces, now requires a holistic, value-driven approach. This session explores how concepts of "accelerated readiness" in cloud-native edge environments can comprehensively address risk management while streamlining compliance.

We will delve into the critical role that infrastructure modernization plays in closing the gap between regulatory requirements and operational efficiency, turning the security challenges into realized business value. Oftentimes, the edge serves as the nexus where digital command and control meet physical assets.   In this evolving area, achieving operational excellence demands a robust governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) strategy.

By focusing on edge opportunities, this session will explore a high-level and cohesive approach that addresses risk management framework requirements, accelerates compliance, and ensures that the edge platform - along with the business operations it supports - has the best possible security posture.

Accelerated Readiness: Securing the Cloud Native Edge

Join us to gain actionable insights and solutions for effectively managing the edge ecosystem.

AI on the Edge

Edge computing plays a crucial role in industrial automation, particularly in enhancing communications. Here’s how:

1. REDUCED LATENCY:  By processing data closer to the source, edge computing minimizes the need to send data to a centralized cloud or data center. This significantly reduces latency, allowing for near-real-time decision-making and control.

2. IMPROVED RELIABILITY: Industrial environments often have connectivity challenges, such as network interruptions or bandwidth limitations. Edge computing ensures that essential operations can continue even if the connection to the central cloud is disrupted, enhancing system reliability and uptime.

3. EFFICIENT BANDWIDTH USAGE: Edge computing reduces the amount of data that needs to be transmitted to the cloud by filtering, aggregating, and analyzing data locally. Only the most relevant or summarized data is sent, which optimizes bandwidth usage and reduces communication costs.

4. ENHANCED SECURITY: Sensitive data can be processed and stored locally at the edge, minimizing the risk of exposure during transmission to the cloud. This decentralized approach can improve data security and compliance with regulations, especially in industries with stringent data protection requirements.

5. SCALABILITY: As industrial operations grow and more devices are connected (through IoT expansion), edge computing can help manage the increased data load without overwhelming central systems. It allows for scalable deployment of resources where they are needed most, at the edge of the network.

6. SUPPORT FOR REAL-TIME ANALYTICS AND AI: Edge computing enables the deployment of AI and machine learning algorithms directly at the production site. This capability supports real-time analytics and decision-making, improving process efficiency and productivity without relying on distant cloud resources.

Tune into this session to learn more.

The Value of Industrial Communications in Edge Computing

As the edge-cloud continuum reshapes distributed computing, the ability to dynamically shift computation and data processing between the edge and the cloud is crucial. This flexibility optimizes performance and efficiency for real-time applications, AI orchestration, and mission-critical workloads. However, as edge-to-cloud deployments grow, so do the demands for customizable solutions that meet security, scalability, and performance requirements.
