Working in the network operating center (NOC) at Black Hat Europe, we’re never quite sure what we’re going to see. The anxiousness I feel there is similar to what I’d experience when I was blue-teaming for a corporate network.

As organizations evolve to embrace cloud-native architectures and distributed teams, the limitations of legacy access solutions like virtual private networks (VPNs) and bastion hosts have become apparent. Once reliable for securing static, on-premises environments, these tools do not scale well for securing modern infrastructure, are expensive to maintain, increase security vulnerabilities, and can hinder regulatory compliance.

Yet, this valuable information typically goes untapped because getting at it requires too much work.

In order to protect your company from online dangers, network security management is crucial as our world becomes more digital. Because cyberattacks are becoming more frequent and sophisticated, companies need to have strong policies in place to safeguard their sensitive data and critical infrastructure. By employing stringent access restrictions and monitoring technologies, network security management safeguards your network and guarantees its proper operation.
