Verizon’s Data Breach Incident Report shows a 13 percent spike in 2021, a jump greater than the past years combined; Sophos’ State of Ransomware survey shows victims routinely paying $1 million ransoms.
In response, Cato Networks today introduced network-based ransomware protection for the Cato SASE Cloud. This is an example of an advanced security capability meeting an urgent need – and it’s also more evidence that enterprises must inevitably transition to a new network security paradigm.
Guest expert: Etay Maor, Senior Director of Security Strategy, Cato Networks
I had the chance to visit with Etay Maor of Cato Networks. We discussed how Secure Access Services Edge – SASE – embodies this new paradigm. In essence, SASE moves the security stack from the on-premises perimeter far out to the edge, just before the cloud.
This gives security teams comprehensive visibility of all network activity, in real time, which makes many high-level security capabilities possible. For a full drill down on my conversation with Etay Maor, please give the accompanying podcast a listen.
Network security developments are progressing. I’ll keep watch and keep reporting.
