We’ll explain how our Simplified SecOps solution with Cyber Command at the core  provides better detection and response and simpler operations compared to traditional SIEM SecOps. We will  also explore how Cyber Guardian Managed SecOps expert services ensure a smooth transition upgrading your existing security controls. 

Join us to learn how our next-gen solutions improve your precision and agility in combating modern threats. Don't miss this opportunity to move your SecOps strategy forward to better protect your business.

Moving SecOps beyond SIEM

Cloud repatriation, the practice of organizations moving part or all of their IT infrastructure from the public cloud back to on-premises/private cloud, is on the rise. This trend is driven by the realization of certain challenges after the initial rush to the cloud, including high costs, lack of control, security concerns, and data sovereignty compliance needs. Advancements in hybrid cloud technology have also made cloud repatriation more feasible, allowing businesses to enjoy the best of both worlds.

However, cloud repatriation isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Which workloads should remain in the public cloud, and which are better suited to the local environment? This decision depends on multiple factors, including an application’s user, performance, security, resource, and regulatory requirements. Workloads might even alternate between cloud environments at different times.

This webinar offers guidance and solutions to organizations considering or already in the process of cloud repatriation in formulating an effective strategy. It aims to help you find a balance between immediate financial benefits and long-term strategic objectives, ensuring your IT setup is optimized, cost-effective, and compliant.

Cloud Repatriation: Reversing the Side Effects of Going Cloud-First

In recent years, the emergence of Large Language Models has ushered in a new era for AI, elevating it to unprecedented levels of intelligence. Hackers have weaponized this powerful technology, making cyberattacks easier to carry out, more widespread, and more varied in their methods. This scenario challenges cybersecurity vendors to develop AI technologies that are equally advanced, if not more so, to counter these threats. 

But how exactly does AI function in cybersecurity? And with so many vendors promoting their AI technologies, how can you differentiate between them? These are crucial questions for investing in the right AI security technologies and maximizing their benefits. 

This webinar aims to address these important questions. We will clarify the differences between various types of AI, such as Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Large Language Models, and provide examples of their applications. We’ll also discuss the AI technologies Sangfor employs in its security solutions and explain how they can defend against AI-enabled cyber threats.

A Little Different from Sangfor AI

Done Deal. On February 26, VMware agreed to sell its End-User Computing (EUC) division to the investment company KKR, sparking concern among VMware customers of products like Horizon. “What will be the changes?” and “How will this impact my business?” you might be asking. This latest move, along with changes to the vSphere product lineup and the end of perpetual licenses, have prompted some VMware users to consider alternative solutions.

But what does an industry-leading VMware replacement look like?

We have set up this webinar to guide VMware vSphere and Horizon customers through this critical transition. We’ll discuss key factors to consider when exploring alternatives, covering both technical and commercial aspects such as features, performance, bundle and licensing options, vendor ecosystem, and business alignment. We’ll also compare Sangfor HCI and VDI with VMware vSphere and Horizon, highlighting areas where Sangfor is unique and excels. 

Change can be scary, but with the right tools and insight, you can sail through it. Join us in tackling these challenges head-on, ensuring a smooth and informed switch from VMware.

Bold Statement for a Bold Solution.  Ransomware attacks occur every 11 seconds with 37% of all businesses and organizations having suffered one or more attacks. You need a bold solution to defend against those statistics. Sangfor Technologies’ Solution for Ransomware is that bold.

All next-gen anti-virus (NGAV) are proven to detect and block zero-day advanced persistent threats (APTs) with 99.5% success. Sounds great until you realize that 350,000 new malware variations are discovered every day.  Blocking 350K new malware at 99.5% means 1750 potentially successful malware attacks daily and it only takes one to get through. Once ransomware gets through, it may sleep for weeks before initiating its kill chain.

When an APT breaches, you need to find it and eradicate it.  Sangfor’s Solution for Ransomware, featuring the newly released Endpoint Secure 6.0.2 and Network Secure firewall, recognizes that detecting and blocking is the best effort so it concentrates on threat hunting to find the APT that successfully infected your organization. Each product in our ransomware solution blocks one or more steps in the attack kill chain, making sure you are completely protected.

This webinar will highlight the unique technologies that allow us to make that bold statement.  We will even have a demo to show our solution in action. And there will be a lucky draw for 5 $20 USD gift cards to thank you for your time. Come see for yourself if we really Stop Ransomware in 3 Seconds!

Organizations are moving their Enterprise Applications from complex physical platforms to more modern solutions like virtualization and private cloud platforms. This shift offers several advantages, such as enhanced performance, reliability, and flexibility. However, we're dealing with critical enterprise applications that demand the utmost protection and availability. Can we truly simplify the hosting environment while introducing a host of mechanisms like intrusion detection system, backup, and disaster recovery to maintain security and resilience? And how do we manage the associated costs and technical risks of these additional requirements?

A Simple, Secure, and Resilient Platform for Enterprise Applications

Security operations (SecOps)—defined as the real-time monitoring, detection, and response to cybersecurity threats—has become a top priority for many businesses. However, their efforts are hampered by the constant evolution of security threats and a shortage of cybersecurity talent.

Sangfor’s initial XDDR framework integrated various Sangfor technologies to make SecOps simpler and more effective. However, we recognize that technology alone cannot fill all operational gaps.

Sangfor XDDR 2.0 enhances this framework by combining our best technologies with the human expertise of our Cyber Guardian MDR service. This integration effectively addresses the challenges organizations face in the 3 core pillars of SecOps: People, Process, and Technology.

We invite you to join this webinar to discover Sangfor XDDR 2.0 and learn how it provides all the essential elements to safeguard your organization in today’s threat landscape.

The benefits of cloud computing are now well-established, making it a key element for any digital transformation strategy. However, many organizations proceed cautiously with cloud adoption due to existing legacy systems that can't be phased out quickly. As a result, a hybrid cloud setup serves as an effective starting point for cloud adoption, providing a balanced approach by allowing existing on-premises systems to coexist with new cloud-based applications. Despite its advantages, the hybrid approach comes with its own set of challenges, mostly arising from the use of different infrastructures and technologies between private and public cloud environments.
Sangfor Unified Hybrid Cloud solves this problem by using the same technology stack for both your private and public cloud. This ensures consistent management, operations, and security across your entire cloud environment.

Join our webinar to discover how Sangfor Unified Hybrid Cloud provides a step-by-step approach for your cloud adoption, regardless of where you are in your cloud journey.
