Recently, Google made headlines with the announcement of its new quantum chip, Willow, marking another step forward in the fascinating world of quantum computing. The technology promises to solve problems that are currently intractable for classical computers, fueling excitement—and a fair bit of concern—about its implications for cryptography, particularly the widely used RSA encryption.

Modern ransomware attacks have evolved beyond simple encryption to deploy sophisticated double extortion tactics. Threat actors now systematically exfiltrate sensitive data before encrypting systems, ensuring leverage even when victims have robust data backups. Some ransomware gangs have even abandoned encryption altogether, recognizing that the threat of data exposure often proves more compelling for ransom payment.

When an enterprise looks for a network security provider, whether implementing a SASE solution or not, one of its pillar requirements is complete visibility of the assets it holds, which provides the ability to manage its devices. Identifying devices in a network, commonly known as device fingerprinting, provides an enterprise with the ability to control their inventory, which could be a challenging task for companies spread across multiple sites, countries, hybrid datacenters or continents.

Wikipedia defines a ripple effect as “an initial disturbance to a system propagating outward to disturb an increasingly larger portion of the system.” This phenomenon is highly applicable to many IT transformations such as cloud migration and move to hybrid work, but even more so to SASE (Secure Access Service Edge).

In today’s fast-paced business environment, IT teams are under increasing pressure to keep networks running smoothly and securely. The burden of managing a growing number of endpoints, networks, and cloud services—combined with constant threats of cyberattacks—can lead to IT burnout. Burnout affects the well-being of IT professionals and increases the likelihood of human error, such as misconfigurations, missed patches, and slow response times to incidents.

On the morning of Oct 13th, SpaceX successfully performed a groundbreaking catch of its Starship booster. It was a monumental moment in space exploration, one that David Heinemeier Hansson, co-founder of Ruby on Rails and Basecamp, recently praised in his blog. As Heinemeier Hansson noted, pulling off such feats requires a rare combination of audacity, vision, and an ironclad refusal to accept failure.

In today’s digital environment, encrypted traffic has become the norm, with over 90% of web communications now utilizing encryption. While this secures data in transit, it has become a blind spot for enterprises, enabling attackers to hide malware within encrypted channels. According to the Q3 2024 Cato CTRL SASE Threat Report, organizations that enable TLS inspection block 52% more malicious traffic than organizations than don’t.

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.

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.
