The need for a robust, and flexible network security architecture has never been more pressing. The distributed nature of modern applications, the complexity of networks, and the explosion of AI applications is preventing progress through complexity. As these hindering complexities shift and grow, our approach to security must evolve to meet them head-on. In the previous … [Read more...] about Transform Network Security With Cisco Hybrid Mesh Firewall

From Hyrbid Mesh Firewalls to Universal ZTNA
If you’ve heard it once, you’ve probably heard it a million times: “today’s enterprise environments are becoming more and more complex.” I know it’s something I’ve been known to say a time or two (or a million). Here’s the thing: it’s true. There are several factors at play, but two of the biggest are the increasingly fine-grained composition and distribution of applications … [Read more...] about From Hyrbid Mesh Firewalls to Universal ZTNA
How Hybrid Mesh Firewalls Shape Modern Security
The traditional castle-and-moat model of cybersecurity is outdated due to the evolving perimeter caused by remote work and fluid data access. Organizations must integrate security at every touchpoint. The proliferation of IoT devices increases entry points for cybercriminals, necessitating a unified approach to endpoint security. Advanced technologies like AI and quantum … [Read more...] about How Hybrid Mesh Firewalls Shape Modern Security
Using Elastic as a global data mesh: Unify data access with security, governance, and policy
Data mesh vs. data fabricWe should probably start with what it’s not. A “data mesh” is not the same as a “data fabric.” A data fabric allows data flowing in from across the enterprise (from the edge, the network, the applications, the appliances . . . literally everywhere) to be confidently received and persisted, making it available for delivery to any consumers who might want … [Read more...] about Using Elastic as a global data mesh: Unify data access with security, governance, and policy
Istio Roadmap, Ambient Mesh, and the Service Mesh Landscape
In the dynamic landscape of microservices and cloud-native architectures, the role of service meshes has become increasingly crucial. These programmable frameworks empower users to seamlessly connect, secure, and observe their microservices, relieving them of the complexities associated with these critical tasks within their applications. Istio, a leading service mesh project, … [Read more...] about Istio Roadmap, Ambient Mesh, and the Service Mesh Landscape
