Why Network Visibility is Essential for Your Organization

Most modern companies are highly reliant on their IT infrastructure for day-day business, with employees relying on numerous on-prem and cloud-based software solutions for their daily activities. However, for many companies, the network can be something of a black box. As long as data gets from point A to point B and applications continue to function, everything is assumed to be okay. However, the network can be a rich source of data about the state of the business.

Achieving Zero Trust Maturity with Cato SSE 360

Trust is a serious issue facing enterprise architectures today. Legacy architectures are designed on implicit trust, which makes them vulnerable to modern-day attacks. A Zero Trust approach to security can remedy this risk, but transitioning isn’t always easy or inexpensive. CISA, the US government’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, suggests a five-pillar model to help guide organizations to zero trust maturity.

Updated Cato DLP Engine Brings Customization, Sensitivity Labels, and More

Last year, we launched Cato DLP to great success. It was the first DLP engine that could protect data across all enterprise applications without the need for complex, cumbersome DLP rules. Since then, we have been improving the DLP engine and adding key capabilities, including user-defined data types for increased control and integration with Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) to immediately apply sensitivity labels to your DLP policy. Let’s take a closer look.

The Business Case for Security Transformation with Cato SSE 360

Organizations require an understanding of the positive ROI implications of security transformation with a holistic, cloud-delivered security architecture. A well-formed security transformation strategy provides an objective cost analysis of potential savings gained by retiring traditional security tools. Understanding how a single converged software stack provides both a financial ROI and a technical ROI will help organizations uncover hidden savings to be gained with their transformation projects.

SASE For Different Verticals

The Tag Heuer Porsche Formula E Team uses a private network at an E-Prix. Here's why:

When it comes to IT architecture, the set-up is the same for the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team, making it easier to identify bottlenecks or malware threats. Thomas Eue, Lead IT Product Manager at Porsche Motorsport, explains why the Team doesn’t connect to public networks at race weekends.

Cybertalk with Bill and Robin - 3rd April 2023 - The RSA Roundup

Join Bill Carter and Robin Johns as we learn what's happening in the world of CyberSecurity. Last week Bill was at the RSA Conference, where there were over 50,000 attendees and multiple security vendors present. But what topics were on the hears and minds of those who visited? Learn about the 'top 5' items which are currently concerning, and exciting, security practitioners in this latest episode.

Achieving Zero Trust Maturity with Cato SSE 360

While organizations realize they must deploy zero trust, knowing where to begin and how to deploy has become an impediment for many. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) is one of several zero-trust maturity models that provide organizations with a measurable path to zero trust. The Cato SSE 360 architecture is a secure platform that helps facilitate Zero Trust maturity while delivering complete 360-degree protection for users, applications and data. This white paper will discuss how Cato SSE 360 can help facilitate Zero Trust Maturity.

SASE vs. the Upside Down World of Networking and Security

Before SASE, network and network security services were delivered through multiple point solutions, including legacy appliances. These legacy appliances operated in silos and required countless IT resources and attention to deploy, manage, maintain, and replace. Today, some enterprises are still trapped using these legacy appliances, despite their shortcomings. In the parallel, modern world, SASE offers a single cloud-native network and security service for all networking and security needs.
