[SANS Webinar] A Closer Look at Isolation: Hype or Next Gen Security?

Recent waves of security breaches tied to phishing emails, ransomware attacks, and other threat campaigns are causing cybersecurity professionals to revisit their approaches to securing their organizations.

Fueled by rapid cloud adoption to cater to distributed workforces, many organizations have found their legacy security measures fail to identify threats and protect modern networks. Legacy detect-and-remediate approaches have long been the cybersecurity standard, but savvy threat actors easily poke holes in that strategy.

Organizations are looking to isolation-powered security solutions to provide an alternative method to current, failing architectures to overcome challenges presented by complex networks and expanded attack surfaces. These modern and effective techniques separate the network from the Internet, assuming all traffic is inherently bad–hence the moniker, “Zero Trust.”

During this upcoming discussion, Marlese Lessing, from SDxCentral, dives deep on the topic with industry expert and Senior Director of Cybersecurity Strategy at Menlo Security, Mark Guntrip, to discuss the paradigm shift. Attendees can expect to learn about:

• The rising threats of online attacks and security breaches.
• How traditional detection-based solutions work and why they aren’t effective.
• Why isolation-powered security solutions drastically reduce online security threats.

Zero Trust Security is an urgent priority for organizations with a vested interest in data security. But CISOs everywhere are struggling to find the best solution to enable Zero Trust measures without imposing restrictions and burdens on end-users or compromising their security stack.

The current web, email, and end-point security solutions are not sufficient to address the exponential growth and advancement of cyber threats. However, a disruptive solution utilizing isolation can provide 100% malware-free email and web browsing in a non-disruptive, scalable manner. YES – 100%. Join this session to learn more about the changing future of using SASE service models to achieve Zero Trust Security.

To protect productivity and enable modern businesses, today’s mobile workforce needs fast, secure, and reliable Internet access. Much of the currently deployed security technology is not equipped to secure today’s volume of Internet traffic, SaaS applications, or offer the security capabilities needed to overcome the challenges presented by today’s expanded attack surface. So, how should security teams secure work and keep up with the demands of the business and workforce?

During this discussion, Jack Miller, Head of Global Professional Services at Menlo Security and a former CISO, will answer that question and dive deep into how organizations are moving away from legacy security solutions to overcome the challenges that remote work presents today.

SASE, or Secure Access Service Edge, is quickly growing to be the next big thing. 40% of enterprises will consider SASE adoption by 2024, compared with the 1% in 2018, according to Gartner. As more organizations adopt cloud to accommodate remote work, a Zero-Trust approach becomes essential. Workers need quick, reliable, and secure access to their SaaS applications and digital services, and SASE is here to help.

As organizations and industry professionals start looking at SASE and what it can do for their business, it's important to get the facts straight. Join this webinar to learn what SASE can do for your network security, and what the future of SASE looks like.

Join security experts as they discuss:

- What SASE is
- Why SASE has exploded in the network security space
- Strategic insights into how best to implement SASE
- Trends driving SASE growth and what they mean for the future

Speakers:
- Dan Lohrmann, CSO at Security Mentor
- Earl Duby, CISO at Lear Corporation
- Sinan Eren, VP Zero Trust Access at Barracuda
- Jack Miller, Head of Global Professional Services at Menlo Security

In the last year, the move to remote and hybrid working models - and newly distributed employees accessing data from distributed locations - has opened up a need for more stringent and secure network access security models.

This is balanced with the need for remote employees to have access to reliable, low-latency access and connectivity to cloud and data center applications. So what’s the solution? According to many, it’s SASE. SASE provides a flexible, simplistic no-fuss, secure access model and Gartner predicts that by 2024, at least 40% of enterprises will have explicit strategies to adopt SASE. But what is SASE and why is it being heralded as the future of network security?

Join us in this episode of The (Security) Balancing Act as security experts discuss:

- What exactly SASE offers that traditional network security controls don’t
- How SASE adoption has been in part fuelled by the pandemic, and what this means moving forward into the ’new normal’
- The future of secure access models, and what to expect over the next 12 months
- And more

Now in it's eighth year, the Cyberthreat Defense Report has become a staple among security leaders and practitioners, helping them gauge their internal practices and security investments against those of their peers across different countries and industries.

Join this session for these insights:
- growing security concerns/threats
- projects and priorities of security leaders globally
- how to guide internal security strategy
- peer investment plans

Today’s modern business requires greater agility, and to achieve that, they’re laser-focused on the shift to the cloud. At the same time, the workforce has shifted from mobile to fully remote, with more location flexibility anticipated to be a lasting impact of the pandemic. This emphasis on digital transformation initiatives requires organizations to reimagine their network and security strategies. That’s why many are looking to secure access service edge (SASE) to align security and networking architectures in a cloud-delivery model. However, moving to SASE requires a phased approach that aligns with an organization’s specific business objectives.

Join ESG Senior Analyst John Grady and Menlo Security Director of Cybersecurity Strategy Eric Schwake as they discuss how security leaders today can take a pragmatic path to SASE. Expect to learn more about topics that include:
- The criticality of protecting browser-based traffic
- Leveraging SASE as a business enabler
- How to take a Zero Trust-oriented path towards SASE

Web proxies were invented in the early 1990s for people to access the Internet from behind a firewall. To enhance security, different capabilities were added to scan for malicious content, decrypt encrypted web traffic, and inspect for data loss. This came at a tremendous cost of hardware and operational overhead. That was BEFORE 75% of the workforce became remote workers.

Today, enabling web access and protecting productivity requires a new approach centered on isolation technologies powered by the cloud. A new architectural approach to web proxies designed to cater to knowledge workers — as well as modern-day threats — enhances protection and simplifies day-to-day load on security operations.

Today’s anywhere workforce needs everywhere protection. So how can businesses securely support a growing workforce of both in-office and remote workers without bottlenecking their VPN?

Cloud-delivered security is the answer! Businesses can achieve complete protection against phishing and web-based malware, without losing the native browsing experience or compromising the security of SaaS platforms.

Join this webinar to hear from experts—SANS Instructor Serge Borso and Menlo Security CTO Kowsik Guruswamy—on:
+ Why standard VPN architectures are failing to stop targeted threats.
+ How direct-to-Internet services can ease corporate VPN traffic without losing security cover.
+ Specific use case examples that demonstrate why a cloud-based security layer is critical.
+ How to achieve 100 percent malware and phishing protection with cloud-based security on an Isolation Core™.
