The network and security landscape has changed dramatically. Users are dispersed, organizations are embracing multi-cloud, and applications are everywhere. These changes, which can lead to gaps in your security, pave the way for a new model, the secure access service edge (SASE). SASE converges security and networking capabilities in the cloud to provide seamless, secure access to applications spanning any device, location, and user.

Today’s IT teams face a common challenge: how to securely enable the growing universe of roaming users, devices, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) apps without adding complexity or reducing end-user performance – all while leveraging their existing security investments. Likewise, users in remote and branch offices need the same level of network performance and security protection as users in central locations. IT must develop strategies to protect users – wherever they work and on any device they use – from a variety of threats, including malware infections, command-and-control callbacks, phishing attacks, denial-of-service attacks, unauthorized access, and unacceptable use, among others. It’s easy to be overwhelmed by the complexity — but we’re here to help!
This book examines the changing network and security landscape, gaps in the existing security stack, and the steps you can take to keep your organization safe and secure as your network evolves. We’ll share how these changes are paving the way to a new solution category: the Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), which delivers multiple security functions from the cloud.
In five short chapters, you’ll learn:
By the end, you’ll understand the newest trends in networking and security, know the toughest challenges that these changes bring, and how to set up your business for success today in the future.

As organizations work to migrate to the cloud — and work moves away from the data center towards the edges of the network — exposure to threats continues to rise. To protect against these growing risks— while optimizing performance at every connection — networking and security can no longer work in silos. Instead, they must work together in tandem to connect and protect users at the edge, securely and efficiently. This is where SASE enters the picture. Recently introduced by Gartner, SASE — or Secure Access Secure Edge — is a forward-thinking framework in which networking and security functions converge into a single integrated service that works at the cloud edge to deliver protection and performance in one simplified approach.

The threat landscape continues to expand, paving the way for new cyber attacks. Attackers have nothing to lose and they have thrown a lot of new tricks from their mystery hats. The majority of these threats use pandemic-themed email as their entry point and deploy new tricks to infect endpoint users.
This talk will cover the rise of RATS, the rise of XLS attachment exploits, and new obfuscation techniques to conceal core code and configuration files by malware authors. The talk also touches on the theme of how techniques in exfiltration are changing and how rapidly other threat actors are adopting or improvising on these trends.
