Beyond mere information sharing, collective defense is a concept that aligns public and private sectors in a unified front against cyber threats. Bill Swearingen of IronNet Cybersecurity defines the concept and how it's being employed today.
Worries over ransomware and malware are slowing down enterprise IoT deployments, which is a reflection of the reputational and customer relationship risks at stake, according to a new survey. Here's what enterprises need to keep in mind when selecting security technology for IoT.
Organizations have undergone rapid network transformation in the last two months, and though the change has now stabilized into a new normal, new security concerns that affect an organization's overall risk often have not been addressed.

Done right, a zero trust architecture can reduce the complexity of one's environment while also improving cybersecurity protection and efficiency. Bob Reny of ForeScout focuses on three critical considerations: visibility, compliance and control.
Network engineering and operations leaders are looking to replace their traditional
wide-area network (WAN) architectures with software-defined wide-area networks
(SD-WAN) in order to support the ever-increasing traffic demands (and associated
connectivity costs) that come with digital innovation (DI). These...
As the use of business-critical, cloud-based applications and tools continues to
increase, distributed organizations with multiple remote offices are switching
from performance-inhibited wide-area networks (WANs) to software-defined WAN
(SD-WAN) architectures. SD-WAN offers faster connectivity, cost savings,...
Digital transformation is a strategic initiative for the majority of distributed organizations in 2019. The need to support cloud-based applications across sites has led many organizations to switch from wide-area networks (WANs) to software-defined WANs in an effort to eliminate performance and operational...
