Building the New Network Security Architecture for the Future

Security teams have lost visibility into their networks. As recently as a few years ago, network boundaries were well-defined and data and devices easily identified. But a tsunami of new developments means that not only have we lost the boundaries of the network, but we have lost control over how and what is attached to it as well. With technologies such as IoT, IIoT (Industrial IoT) and cloud impacting network visibility, security controls have become less effective. This lack of visibility creates gaps in the overall network security of an organization, making it difficult to see attacks, let alone stop them within the company’s network boundaries. This makes it imperative to rethink the network security architecture to ensure that the necessary visibility is achieved within an organization’s network.

The Trellix Approach to Effective Cloud Security

whitePaper | October 27, 2022

In many ways, the cloud1 is more secure than a traditional data center. Asset management, inventory, audit logging, two-factor access controls, connectivity redundancy and firewalls are built into the cloud provider platform. Servers are easier to patch and won’t become outdated within a few years; there aren’t any forgotten boxes sitting in a dark corner with a note reading, “DO NOT TURN OFF.” However, assets on the cloud continue to be compromised, just as those stored in traditional data centers.
