As the IT enterprise continues to expand and include more at-risk end points through the proliferation of cloud platforms, edge computing, IoT, remote workers, and mobile devices, IT leaders are increasingly under pressure to keep corporate data secure and be confident they’ve got control over all access to their networks. Multiple distributed security solutions are no longer an effective – or manageable – way to ensure an effective threat posture, so IT leaders have to rethink how they’re architecting and managing their security plans. With a more unified architecture like Secure Access Service Edge, IT leaders have a platform that delivers wide-area networking and security as a cloud service that enables IT to automatically identify users, devices, and applications, and guard them with specific policy-based security protocols outlined by the business. This next-generation approach enables IT to ensure secure access to specific data or applications anywhere in their distributed network. In this session, our panel of experts will discuss:

• Why it’s important right now for CIOs to lead the way in planning for next-generation network security
• How to reduce complexity with a consolidated security stack across the enterprise
• The role of Zero Trust in a SASE environment to remove the risk of any trust assumptions
• How a SASE approach increases your IT department’s visibility across the network, improving security overall and building trust in secure access
