Scaling Network Security

Firewalls and network security were long considered a perimeter defense, keeping the bad guys out and containing confidential data inside. But as threats have become more sophisticated, the perimeter has become porous, and recent high-profile security breaches such as at Home Depot and Target show demonstrate that hackers are often roaming within the network and data center for weeks or months. The notion therefore of security as an edge technology is long antiquated, and today network security must push deeper into the core of the internal network to segregate sensitive data and to detect malicious behavior of hackers probing and moving laterally within the data center.

Leading Cybersecurity in Higher Education

whitePaper | February 11, 2023

Higher-education institutions are experiencing a high volume of cyberattacks and greater vulnerability to threats. Today’s educational technology environments connect a variety of endpoints—laptops, desktops, student management data, and email servers. They use Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices for managing environmental controls, security cameras, and door alarms. Both ends of the education spectrum gather, store, and use personal data from students and staff—and if they collect it, they must also protect it. As a result, schools need dedicated, skilled, and experienced executive leadership that is empowered, resourced, and responsible for campuswide cybersecurity issues.
