Traditional security and networking approaches don’t support or protect today’s hybrid and distributed workforce, which requires secure user access anywhere, anytime. The solution? A cloud-managed and delivered convergence of networking and security function, which Forrester calls the Zero Trust edge (ZTE) model. Forrester predicts that in its final form, ZTE will fully combine networking and security with Zero Trust security principles and software-defined networking for an integrated set of cloud-delivered and managed services 

With less budget, fewer resources, and more employees working from home than ever, it’s time to look for a better way to enhance your digital security. In this ebook we’ll look at the challenges facing today’s security professionals and share some simple actions you can take to reduce malware, simplify security and secure a growing population of remote and roaming workers, without overburdening your staff.

Choosing the right partner for your cloud journey can help your business thrive, while choosing the wrong one might mean falling short on your goals. Let us tell you what’s missing and how we can help.

View this session to learn about the four key components of a robust, forward-thinking cloud strategy: simplicity, security, scalability, and support. You’ll learn how Cisco delivers on each of these components with a single cloud-delivered service for strong security protection and performance you can rely on for your critical business needs.

For the majority of 2020, in the face of a global pandemic, the entire world has been grappling with massive change — in how we live, how we work, how we connect. But one area that’s always been dynamic and rapidly evolving is the cyber threat landscape.

Here at Cisco, we’ve seen firsthand how commonplace threats have quickly evolved into complex, multi-stage attacks that use tried-and-true malware methodology paired with innovative new tactics to cover their tracks. In the face of these new threats, InfoSec teams are feeling increasingly overwhelmed. The right information, however, can prepare you for what’s out there.

Cisco Umbrella has identified a number of major threat trends that will have serious implications far beyond 2020:

• Trend #1: Trojans and droppers are getting a second life as new forms of malware delivery.
• Trend #2: Orchestrated, multi-staged, evasive attacks are becoming the norm.
• Trend #3: Cryptomining is opening the door to other types of cyber threats.
• Trend #4: Attackers are taking advantage of pandemic-related content to propagate threats.

Learn about why you’ll need machine speed and predictive threat intelligence to counter these rising trends.

Today, “the office” can be anywhere, and traditional security just can’t keep up. That’s where Cisco Umbrella comes in. Powered by predictive intelligence, Umbrella acts as your first line of defense against threats. Read this ebook to learn how this unique advantage can make a difference for your organization.
