Securing Microsoft Azure Virtual WAN: A Microsoft & Fortinet Panel Discussion

Many businesses are moving their EBS to OCI. Learn why it may be beneficial for you and what security measures you may need to take.

Benefits of Moving E-Business Suite into OCI

Organizations have recognized that digital acceleration is about securing applications no matter where they live.  As a result, securing the application journey starts from on-premises at the data center, into the cloud, and toward edge compute.  Between migrating to new cloud architectures and incorporating new applications or infrastructures, it is easy to find yourself with an overwhelming number of moving parts. In fact, recent ESG data shows that over half of organizations believe their IT infrastructures are more complex than two years ago. Without the right digital strategy and end-to-end visibility, teams may find themselves vulnerable to cyber attacks and wasting critical resources.

It should be no surprise then that many companies are turning towards integrated platforms and dedicated cloud-native strategies wherever possible, in order to streamline their operations. To develop a truly resilient cybersecurity protocol, it is important that organizations consider adopting a platform approach that accommodates broad cloud and hybrid cloud use cases and encompasses a cloud-native approach across their public cloud deployments.  Moreover, security solutions need to be well-integrated with cloud-native services to reduce friction in the cloud. And while DevSecOps adoption is beginning to emerge on the scene, this is currently an underutilized area rife for exploration.

In this webinar from Fortinet and ESG, industry experts will shed light on the most important cloud-native trends and best practices to adopt to simplify security application journeys from the data center and edge compute into and across clouds.

Tune in to hear more about:
● Turning security tool sprawl and complexity into a consolidated system
● How cloud-native security strategies are developing in 2023
● Using DevSecOps across the application lifecycle
● And much more

Cloud and SAP Security in the Modern World

According to Statista, ‘the total installed base of Internet of Things (IoT) connected devices worldwide is projected to amount to 30.9 billion units by 2025, a sharp jump from the 13.8 billion units that are expected in 2021.’ The amount of data that these devices produce that needs to be processed is almost hard to fathom, and cloud alone cannot cope with the sheer number of data sets. Which is where Edge computing comes in.

Edge computing sees the deployment of computing and storage at the location where data is produced, be that a supermarket, a factory or a university. With Edge vs Cloud being a hotly debated topic in recent years, it’s time to address their definitions and how they can strengthen each other - and the businesses that utilize them.

Join Alex Hilton, CEO of Cloud Industry Forum, and guests in this live panel where they do just this and more - including:

- Use cases for cloud and Edge computing in 2022 and beyond
- How cloud and Edge computing can not just peacefully co-exist, but work in synergy 
- Why Edge is no longer just for devices anymore, and what this means for cloud
- How Edge and cloud can work together to help businesses thrive in the AI and 5G era
- And more

Better Together: Exploring Cloud and Edge Computing Synergies

C-Level executives are increasingly being targeted by cyber criminals: according to an IBM survey, “64% of CFOs, CHROs and CMOs feel the least engaged in cybersecurity threat management activities, yet are the stewards of data most coveted by cybercriminals.” With cybersecurity no longer limited to the concerns of the IT department and the broader workforce, in 2021 the risk of breaches and attacks touch every part of the organisation.

Integrating security controls at all business levels, sharing incident data and making cybersecurity an essential pillar of business considerations and training goes a long way to help CISOs and security leaders navigate the increasing threats and vulnerabilities. 

In this month’s episode of The (Security) Balancing Act we’ll be sharing how IT security leaders can ensure everyone - and every part - of the business is safe. Join as we evaluate:

-  To what extent cybersecurity should be a priority in the C-Suite
-  How C-Level execs should consider their role in relation to cybersecurity
-  How training and education can help CISOs navigate increased risk at all business levels
-  And more

This episode is part of The (Security) Balancing Act original series with Diana Kelley. We welcome viewer participation and questions during this interactive panel session.

Cybersecurity in the C-Suite

Working remotely has become the new normal. This, and many other changes organizations adopted last year in response to the pandemic are likely to stay for the long term. According to Gallup, about two-thirds of U.S. remote workers want to continue to work remotely. So, how can organizations continue to support their growing distributed workforce at a time where reports of security threats have increased by 400% compared to pre-pandemic levels? 

Here is where the zero-trust approach to security comes into play. 

Join this month's episode of The (Security) Balancing Act with Diana Kelley and guests as they discuss the emergence of zero trust (“Trust Nothing, Verify Everything”) and what it helps achieve for enterprises in the age of cloud and remote work.

Viewers will learn about:
- The evolution of the security perimeter and the shift to zero trust
- Why zero trust is an approach and not a product
- Zero Trust Network Access (ZTA) vs. corporate VPN
- Real-world stories and practical hands-on guidance from people who have deployed a ZTA

Zero Trust for the New Normal

Fewer than half of organizations are very or extremely confident in their application security, reports Fortinet, and it’s not hard to see why. Businesses have embraced digitization, with an average of 25 software updates published each month — yet only 21% of teams confirm they are testing each code change, leaving their operations vulnerable. As cyberthreats grow more advanced, the risk of security breach is high and companies need to find a solution. One compelling answer: artificial intelligence.

AI-based threat hunting levels up existing cyber security protocols by adding an additional layer of screening — automatically. The technology is able to identify attack patterns and aggregate them into security incidents, to better sort threat detection. By separating real threats from informational alerts and false positives, machine learning reduces the human burden of manual corrections. Organizations that have been looking for a way to increase security while lessening friction may have their answer.

Tune into this latest webinar from the security experts at Fortinet, to uncover how AI can upgrade your cybersecurity. 
Our panel will dive into:
— Why traditional WAF applications are insufficient in today’s environment 
— What “artificial intelligence” and “machine learning” actually do in practice
— How an AI-based system can reduce risk without adding friction points

AI-Based Threat Hunting & the True Impact of Machine Learning on Cybersecurity

Digital transformation has been a critical enabler for the rapid acceleration in cloud adoption.  Despite the benefits, rapid adoption has also outpaced many organizations’ cloud security expertise, preventing them from properly securing their cloud environments and leaving them exposed to potential threats.  With over 80% of organizations adopting the cloud, security risk often accumulates faster than it is resolved and mitigated.  Understanding the risks in the cloud and how to best work as a team is essential for effectively mitigating risk and choosing the right tools.  This session will highlight some of the most common cloud risks and explore the ways to mitigate them.
