Remember when network security was all about the firewall? One big barrier around the edge, and everything inside was trusted? Those days are over. The network isn’t the edge anymore, it’s the user, the application and everything in between.
With cloud apps, remote work, and BYOD, the traditional perimeter has dissolved. Data flows in every direction. And attackers know it. That’s why we need a new kind of network security, one that’s identity-aware, cloud-ready, and built for modern architectures.”
Outcome rather than perimeter-based security; the dream
With the dissolution of the traditional perimeter the need for outcomes-driven security is rising, as well as the need for this to be both adaptive and fully integrated.
By combining ZTNA, micro-segmentation and cloud-native hybrid mesh firewalls, we envisage a flexible, fabric-like defence model that follows your users and data no matter where they go.
Can we make this dream a reality?
Definitely! At Outcomex it is our mission to help organisations work securely in the modern era.
As a systems integrator we work with our customers to implement the right mix of solutions that work hand in hand with expertly configured unifying tools like Cisco Security Cloud Control.
The outcome is the capability to tackle Hybrid mesh using a unified policy that is adaptive, dependant on the user, location, device and application. Whether it be Secure Access to Identity Services Engine and cloud firewall solutions including 3rd party firewalls or Cisco Secure Workload and Hypershield plus the ability to handle Identity through Duo.
The perimeter hasn’t disappeared, it’s evolved. And if your network security isn’t evolving with it, now’s the time to rethink the strategy.
