WHAT:

In every industry, organizations are re-architecting their networks
for greater interconnectivity and performance to support digital
transformation initiatives, reduce costs and improve user
experience. However, this network retooling and transition to the
cloud is introducing a network security visibility and control gap
that is not addressed by on-premises firewalls. In this session,

transformation
|
|
|
|
|

|
• What "breaks" when enterprises attempt to implement network

and mitigates these risks
