The Future is Being Written in Real-time

By Chet Kapoor, Chairman and CEO, DataStax – Think about an organization where, at each moment, a recommendation engine is talking to every part of the business – sharing immediate data on live sales and inventory, the purchasing pipeline, and all the context that impacts the business (market conditions, supply chain issues, even weather). This is nirvana. Enterprises that rely on processing data in batches and depend on analysts to review dashboards cannot deliver data-driven actions when it matters most – and they will be left behind.n

Why Broadcom Software is Optimistic About Global Standards in Cyber Security

By Arnaud Taddei, Security Transformation Architects Practice Leader – International, Symantec, a division of Broadcom Software – Harmonization has become even harder with the intensification of geopolitical competition around key technology standards. China set a new bar with its China Standards 2035 plan, aspects of which many western countries fear risk fragmenting the Internet. The EU’s Internal Market Commissioner, Thierry Breton, stated in February, “We were too naive. We were open by default in the belief that things would go our way. But we can’t be open at any price.”

RBI and the Importance of Integrated Threat Protection

It sounds like a nearly perfect cybersecurity solution: Intercept incoming data before it reaches the user’s web browser; isolate it in a secure sandbox; and send only the screen images—or pixels—to the browser. The ephemeral server is fully isolated from the organization’s IT assets and data, and its browser sessions are destroyed when the user closes a tab.

"The threat landscape is more complex than just a few years ago and 2022 is expected to be even more problematic,” said Vishwas Manral, the Chief Technologist and Head of Innovation for Skyhigh Security. “The frequency and intensity of attacks has soared, the sophistication and targeting of attacks is more precise, and perhaps most importantly, the number of entities being granted access to that data in the cloud has multiplied."

The importance of converging the Security Service Edge

Cybersecurity strategies for years have been grounded in protecting the perimeter of the corporate network. Yet, as nearly every organization learned during the COVID-19 crisis, that perimeter no longer exists. Nearly all new software functionality is now deployed as a service (SaaS) that people access from a multitude of locations and devices. No company has the luxury of containing the enterprise IT environment within its four walls anymore.

Data-Aware Security: How to Take a 360 View of Cloud Security

Not long ago, security concerns were the number one reason IT executives hesitated to move workloads to the cloud. Much has changed since then. Security is now considered one of the great strengths of both cloud infrastructure and software-as-a-service (SaaS) platforms. But that doesn’t mean total security is assured. The most hardened platforms in the world are only as effective as the people who use them.

The Machines Are Coming: Financial Services Can Reduce the Blast Surface with Zero Trust

By Tarun Khandelwal, an executive security advisor to the financial services industry and the former Head of Security Architecture at CIBC, and a Palo Alto Networks customer – We’ve all seen movies and TV shows where SWAT teams or military forces take heroic steps to safeguard lives and property in the event of a bomb threat. Chief among the defensive efforts they put in place are ways to reduce the impact of a potential explosion—reducing the blast surface. Often, they use machines such as remote-controlled robots to safeguard their human team members. Obviously, they want to prevent the blast from happening in the first place, but at the very least, they want to ensure they can mitigate its impact as much as possible.

Making Cyber Resiliency a Priority in Healthcare: My Advice for Leaders

By Derrick Lowe, Chief Information Security Officer at Orlando Health, a Palo Alto Networks customer – On the surface, cybersecurity in healthcare may not seem all that different from cybersecurity in other verticals such as financial services, retail, manufacturing, or education. Several of these are highly regulated, have exacting data governance mandates and deal with huge and growing volumes of data essential to their daily and long-term business operations.

Securing Your Cloud Supply Chain

By Matt Chiodi, Chief Security Officer, Public Cloud, Palo Alto Networks – Supply chain security has become top-of-mind for many leaders, as incident after incident has revealed supply chain vulnerabilities that expose significant organizational risk. Security challenges like Log4j and SolarStorm have battered organizations of all sizes with risks they likely didn’t even know they had. With a supply chain attack, a vulnerability in one component of a software stack can expose an entire organization to potential exploitation.

The value of a second: How mainframes save uptime, security, and gobs of money

By Jeff Henry, head of product strategy – Mainframe, Broadcom Software – Think about the importance of a single second in sports. In F1 racing, the average pit stop is just two to three seconds. The driver and crew know that getting the car in and out that quickly is what it takes to beat the competition to the checkered flag. How many basketball games or other sports competitions come down to a critical moment that makes all the difference? Queue the half court “buzzer beater,” last-second “Hail Mary” touchdown, or “photo finish” at the Kentucky Derby. Clearly, time matters!
