SonicWall delivers Boundless Cybersecurity for the hyper-distributed era in a work reality where everyone is remote, mobile and unsecure. SonicWall safeguards organizations mobilizing for their new business normal with seamless protection that stops the most evasive cyberattacks across boundless exposure points and increasingly remote, mobile and cloud-enabled workforces. By knowing the unknown, providing real-time visibility and enabling breakthrough economics, SonicWall closes the cybersecurity business gap for enterprises, governments and SMBs worldwide.

The success of your cybersecurity programs rests on how your organization can spot, understand and preemptively act against active vulnerabilities, phishing scams and human errors. The most dangerous of these vulnerabilities and social engineering schemes often become entry points for your adversaries, whoever they may be. Attackers increasingly utilize these means of entry to deploy ransomware and steal data. This talk highlights the top exploited threat vectors in the first half of 2022, what to watch out for, and the necessary steps you must take to reduce your risk tolerance and threat surface.

How to Stay Toe-to-Toe with Evolving Adversaries

The 2022 SonicWall Cyber Threat Report revealed more than 20,000 Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) were published in 2021, the first time in history that the number of CVEs has passed the 20,000 mark. The most serious of these vulnerabilities, those scored above nine on the 10-point scale, become entry points for cybercriminals, and attackers are increasingly utilizing this means of entry to deploy ransomware and steal data. 

Watch now to hear our expert cover:
- Exploited threat vectors and what to look out for
- Critical zero-days used to wreak havoc on businesses and governments
- Actionable insights for you and your organization

Join Security Expert Rungsak Tiaowatthanasakun for episode #3 of our MINDHUNTER series on March 25 to understand the threat and the simple mechanisms that can be put in place to protect your organization. Don’t let it grow out of control!

Internet of Things (IoT) - Welcome to The Wild West - Thai language

Today’s networks have never been more diverse and distributed. Zero-trust architecture offers a modern approach for security to meet modern work designs and tackle the cybersecurity challenges facing organizations. 

Survival and continued growth often mean expanding services beyond traditional areas, being more agile and embracing work-from-anywhere policies.  Most organizations expect to be fully deployed with a zero trust architecture within two years.

Hear from Osterman Research and SonicWall security experts as we discuss the importance of Zero-Trust. 
Learn about: 
• Threats, trends, and current issues elevating the need for zero trust
• How organizations are planning and deploying a zero-trust architecture
• Best practices and solutions to support the move to zero-trust

Trust Nothing. Verify Everything. Why Zero-Trust is Important.
