What if operating in China didn’t require a separate architecture? For global enterprises, China is too important and too complex to ignore. Whether you’re already operating there or considering expansion, China introduces unique connectivity, security, and compliance challenges that most global architectures aren’t equipped to handle. Infrastructure gaps, regulatory demands, and inconsistent user experience combine to make China uniquely challenging for IT and security leaders.

The Gordian knot of any detection strategy is knowing that two conflicting ideas are both true. On one hand, every SOC needs as much accurate detection coverage as they can get to find and disrupt attacks. On the other, the attackers you REALLY care about will find a way to bypass those detections so you need the ground truth of the attacker behavior on your network. The only answer is to have both: the absolute best data and the broadest detection suite possible on top of it.

Imagine handing over your house keys to someone who looked trustworthy - only to discover later they were an impostor. Everything that entered or left your home was compromised, and you never saw it coming. That’s what happens in your network when ARP spoofing strikes. The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) helps devices find each other on a local network by matching IP addresses to MAC addresses.

For many, the answer still involves legacy VPNs and Network Access Control (NAC), familiar tools from a different era. But what if those trusted systems aren’t protecting you anymore, and are instead becoming some of your biggest liabilities? To explore this shift, Netskope partnered with Cybersecurity Insiders, a leading research platform for CISOs and cybersecurity professionals, to dig into the real risks of relying on outdated access solutions.

Over the past nine years in the SASE business, I’ve had the privilege of speaking with hundreds of IT leaders—CIOs, CISOs, and IT executives. Through these conversations, I’ve found that five main concerns consistently keep them up at night. This blog aims to share those insights and highlight how I’ve seen Cato Networks’ SASE platform help address these challenges, allowing IT leaders to sleep a little easier.

Cloud adoption isn't just soaring; it's practically stratospheric. Businesses of all sizes are leveraging the agility, scalability, and innovation that cloud environments offer. Yet, hand-in-hand with this incredible growth comes an often-overlooked challenge: the increasing complexities of maintaining compliance.

When was the last time you updated your router? If you’re not sure, you’re not alone, and this uncertainty could pose a serious risk to your business. The FBI recently warned that malicious actors are targeting end-of-life (EOL) routers (network devices that manufacturers no longer support or update). These outdated routers are being hijacked by bad actors who use them as a stepping stone into networks, turning them into cybercriminal proxies. The threat is real, and it’s growing.

Having spent over two decades navigating the evolving landscape of service provider partnerships, I’ve witnessed firsthand how challenging it can be for providers to maintain profitability and differentiation. Increasingly, relying on legacy vendors feels akin to selling customers a shiny new car equipped with an outdated engine—appealing at first glance but disappointing once in use.
