Back in the day when your users were all on the network and your applications resided in your physical data center, it made sense to establish a secure perimeter around your network. But those days are over, the perimeter is gone, and network security is all but irrelevant.

Instead, you need to put your defenses and controls where the connections occur— the internet — so that every connection is fast and secure, no matter how or where users connect or where their applications reside.

By moving applications and infrastructure to the cloud and untethering employees from their desks, you can realize tremendous advantages in productivity, agility, and cost containment. With our 100% cloud built secure platform, Zscaler can help you make the move to the cloud, securely.

Today’s workplaces have a global footprint. Employees, no matter where they're located – regional offices, customer sites, their homes, and on the move – rely heavily on applications, data, and virtual meeting services to collaborate and stay productive.

In this webinar, attendees will hear how to efficiently detect, triage, and resolve IT incidents that have global, regional, or user-specific impact, at scale.

You will learn how organizations like yours can:
• Get visibility across apps, networks, and devices within zero trust environments and beyond
• Accelerate IT ticket resolution time, while reducing escalations and support costs
• Proactively support globally distributed organizations to improve performance and productivity

Deliver Fast and Secure Digital Experiences for the Modern Hybrid Workforce

Interested in extending the Zscaler platform to secure your workloads in the public cloud? Looking for best practices? Where do you start and what do you implement to enable zero trust? VMs, Serverless, VDI, Containers—struggling to secure their ingress and egress traffic? How can you transition your cloud security to a modern architecture that is based on least-privileged access? 

Zero trust presents an opportunity for IT organizations to resist the temptations to extend their WAN architecture that is used on-premises to the cloud. Existing firewall- and VPN-based approaches put enormous responsibility on IT teams to configure policies and enforce remediations locally at each trust zone. This approach creates routable networks a panacea for firewall bloat and untenable policy management.

Your legacy firewall and VPN can’t handle long trips. They’re always dropping things—and worst, they make you feel so insecure. If that sounds familiar… it might be time to break up.
Legacy appliances and tools are set in their ways. They try to control access to critical apps like SAP, AWS, ADP, and others with static network-layer policies and rules based on IPs addresses and TCP port values. But the way you work has changed. You’ve changed. You want the freedom to securely access apps from anywhere, on any device, without being tied down to the network.

Ending it with your legacy firewalls and VPNs can give you a fresh start. Join Linda Park and Emily Laufer for a practical, candid webinar all about you, your legacy appliances, and the technology network administrators can adopt to get back the remote access spark you deserve.

Breaking up isn’t always easy, but we’re here to help. Secure your spot and learn:
• How VPNs expose your apps and data to the internet
• How implicit trust from legacy firewalls grants attackers unrestricted access
• Why network-centric solutions are slow and expensive to maintain

Why It's Time to Break Up with Your VPN and Firewall

The adoption of zero trust has accelerated as work locations become more fluid and flexible. But this change has also brought about an increase in cyberattacks. Business owners are looking for a blueprint to ensure a consistent experience while also protecting crown jewel applications. 

Application access no longer requires network access. Zero trust network access (ZTNA) provides seamless and secure connectivity to private applications without ever placing users on the network or exposing apps to the internet.

Join us for a webinar where we will review how a ZTNA solution can elevate your zero trust strategy by providing zero trust application access directly to your private applications.

Attendees will learn how ZTNA can help:
• Provide least-privileged access to private applications by minimizing the attack surface
• Identify and prevent internal attacks that can disrupt your operations with full traffic inspection
• Prevent data loss with integrated data protection through isolation

Key Strategies for Secure Access to Private Apps

The world of cyber security is a never ending arms race between cyber attackers and businesses; while bad actors devise novel ways of stealing data organizations try to thwart their efforts.

For decades this battle has played itself out at the perimeter of the network by using tools like firewalls and anti-malware to keep malicious parties outside of the network.

Steadily over the last few years, however, there has been a move to zero trust – assuming that your network is already compromised and minimizing the amount of damage the intruder can do.

Find out more about what zero trust is, how it complements more traditional perimeter defenses and why your business needs it in this informative webinar, brought to you in association with Zscaler.
