Securing Remote User Access to Critical Internal Systems
Remote users – both employees and vendors – typically need access to critical systems to manage data, patch or upgrade systems, etc., in order to keep business operations running smoothly. A quick review of known 2019 data breaches shows both a sharp increase in third party breaches and in the amount of records exposed.
Organizations now face a range of unforeseen circumstances resulting in immediate sweeping needs for organizations to provide remote workers with controlled access to critical systems. Executing with manual and/or patchwork processes in place can dramatically increase risk as well as cause operational headaches for end-users and security practitioners alike.

The Perimeter and Beyond – Maximizing ROI in your Next-Gen Firewall

Next-gen firewalls (NGFWs), however, can do much more. These devices are very different from the routers you buy for your home and do more than just protect the perimeter. In an effective cybersecurity practice, NGFWs are tightly integrated with other components of your organization’s security stack, providing valuable data outputs that enable greater visibility and…
