Modern Network Compliance: What It Is & How to Achieve It

For enterprise networks to be compliant they must encompass two things: standards that define how networks are configured and ensuring those standards are enforced rigidly and uniformly across the network, whether it is physical, virtual, or cloud. However, today’s modern and exploded network infrastructure includes a multitude of edge devices such as switches, routers, firewalls, load balancers, and with the addition of cloud-based services it’s only getting more complex. Effective management of the network in a holistic manner is crucial for operational consistency. Regardless of your network size or type, constant configuration changes to infrastructure components based on business and technical requirements are inevitable and organizations need a modern approach to ensure configuration compliance across all network devices and services. In this webinar we will discuss: • Modern network compliance and why a modernized approach and process is required for today’s enterprise networks. • Sources and categories of network compliance. • How to extend compliance into cloud networks and show how to maintain compliance by implementing a Configuration Validation method into any configuration change process. • The necessity of moving beyond the break-check-fix cycle with Configuration Validation.
