Traditionally, security solutions could be easily deployed after a network was designed and deployed. All that was needed was to secure fixed perimeters and monitor the predictable traffic and workflows moving between static network servers and known external devices. But new demands have put increasing pressure on this model. The growth of the cloud in the enterprise is changing the landscape. Today, all components of the network and cloud, regardless of how widely distributed, need to function as a single integrated system. The need to connect to cloud services, applications, cloud-native service, and on-prem WAN simultaneously, and most of those elements also need to be seen as a discrete edge to the network.
Interoperability between dynamic network elements is essential. We must integrate connectivity and network functionality with security. When data moves from one place to another, across and between devices, it needs to be combined with inspection, encryption, and policy enforcement.
But this seems like hard work, and is it even a possibility? There are two sides off the table; CIO and CISO provide an insight into honest boardroom discussions. Join the interactive Q&A as they outline if and how the convergence impacts their respective and the business they want to enable.
