Put the Next-Gen in your Network: Leveraging Next-Gen Firewalls for Security and operations

Protecting an organization from the increasing threat of cyber attacks can be challenging. Employees are a crucial line of defense, and ensuring they know their security responsibilities and how to spot a cyber attack is critical.

Security in the cloud vs. cloud security – whose job is it anyway? According to F5 Labs researchers, 86% of successful data breaches begin with compromises of the application layer services or user identities – placing responsibility for app security squarely in the hands of the app owners, developers, and enterprises deploying them. Application security can be difficult and daunting, but it doesn’t have to be.

Our Research Analyst, Satyajit Sinha will be speaking at the RoboBusiness Webinar on July 9th 2020 at 2 PM EST. The topic of the webinar is “Cybersecurity and Robotics Systems: Vulnerabilities and Solutions”. One class of edge products, rarely mentioned in the typical IoT discussions and analyses, also provide for actuation. That is, they are robotic devices. Like other ‘connected’ IoT devices, robotics systems are open to security threats, which can be one roadblock to their widespread deployments. In this session, Counterpoint Research’s Satyajit Sinha will discuss current and future cyber security threats to networked robotics systems, highlighting their vulnerabilities in the process. He will also describe various cyber security solutions and provide a competitive landscape of security solutions for robotics systems.

As more organizations use a combination of their on-premises network and Amazon Web Services (AWS) to deliver services and applications, they are struggling to ensure their workloads are secure and compliant. More importantly, they need a way to satisfy these requirements in an efficient, cloud-native way to ensure security is effective.
