WHAT: |
The disintegration of perimeter security has left a void that demands network access controls beyond traditional firewall and VPN architectures. To take their place, a new model that looks to more broadly address access needs in a hybrid, multi-cloud and widely distributed world has emerged and is being characterized as the Secure Access Service Edge (SASE). It’s an approach that promises to help organizations deal with the security complexities of digital transformation. The ability to integrate greater context for building identity and trust, provide granular isolation across hybrid infrastructures and make the whole thing manageable make the prospects for SASE a very attractive proposition. Ken Ammon and this panel of experts will discuss SASE implementation questions and explore its potential to meet the new security requirements of the borderless enterprise. |
