Session Title: Will SASE transform IT security for businesses?

Session Synopsis:

Organisations have had to deal with more changes in the last year than ever before. As companies turn to the cloud in order to reduce complexity and deliver greater flexibility, they must also adapt to meet these changes head on

The past few months have seen IT transformation on an unprecedented scale as organisations across the globe change how they do business.  With the adoption of cloud-delivered services, SD-WAN has proved that it can deliver improved application performance, reduced costs, and simplified branch operations. But, despite all these benefits, security remains one of the biggest concerns.

How do you secure users accessing the internet or cloud apps, either remotely or at multiple branch offices? What is Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and how can it deliver multiple security functions from the cloud? How does the quality of threat intelligence you have access to help avoid security blind spots and stop false alerts?

Join us as we discuss the latest developments in security networking, understand the key challenges and learn how to setup your business for success today and in the future.
