The evolution of security must deal with two new paradigms. First, applications are increasingly cloud-based SAAS that can be accessed from anywhere. Working from home, however, now also means working from anywhere. These complicate the security architecture because both insert new attack vectors into the IT environment. Forcing all users through the corporate firewall and back out to the internet is an option but a complex one to implement and support. Secure Service Edge is the emerging approach to simplify user access with a purpose-built platform to understand and intercept SAAS threat vectors. Join X10 Networks and the market-leading SSE vendor Netskope as we delve into the new threat vectors and present the SSE strategies that secure this much-expanded attack surface.
