Session: SASE: Destination Known
Enterprise networks have experienced 10 years of change in the past year and a half. Work for everyone is no longer a PLACE, it is an activity. Remote work looks a lot different than it did pre-pandemic, and technology is moving faster than ever before.According to the 2021 State of the Cloud Report from Flexera, 92% of all enterprises are now adopting a multi-cloud strategy for their applications. Now, we have people and applications sprawling from everywhere widening the attack surface and increasing complexity of traditional security models. We used to design Data Center A and B, but today we are designing for Data Center A, Cloud B, Cloud C, and companies want to be prepared for any cloud with a unified security platform to solve today's security challenges.
