Get proven success factors for your security program based on data from 4,800 security experts
We asked respondents about their organization’s adherence to 25 security practices spanning governance, strategy, spending, architecture, and operations.
We then asked about each program’s level of success across roughly a dozen high-level security objectives or outcomes organized into three main categories:
Enabling the business
Managing risk
Operating efficiently
Next, we conducted extensive multivariate analysis to identify security practices that correlate strongly with successful program-level outcomes.
We’ve broken down their answers into best practices, and determined which have the most impact on security outcomes and objectives.
In other words: based on what your organization wants to achieve in security, these are things you should be doing to increase your chances of success. You’ll learn which security practices rank most effective, and which are making the least difference. We found quite a few unexpected correlations. Get the study to learn more.
Are you using vulnerable cloud apps that open the door to ransomware, malware, or other types of network attacks? Our Cisco Umbrella infographic reveals the three riskiest ones in 2021.
An astonishing 98% of cloud services are adopted without any IT oversight.
And when your employees act as their own tech professionals to use their favorite chat, cloud storage, and other insecure apps, that’s more than just conducting shadow IT, it’s directly putting your network at risk.
Your challenge? Protecting your network against ransomware, malware, and other attacks. In 3 steps to managing shadow IT, you’ll learn how to:
Gain full visibility of apps used across your network
Analyze the risk involved with each cloud app or service
Protect your company from data loss, breaches, and other attacks
In 3 steps to managing shadow IT, we highlight the app security tools you need to block threats from streaming, messaging, and other insecure apps. Use these tips to keep your network, data, and workers safe.
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:
Key networking and security trends and their associated challenges, along with different networking and security options to solve them
How an SD-WAN architecture addresses modern networking challenges
How a multi-function cloud-native security service complements SD-WAN and addresses modern security challenges
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.
