ESG Research Report: Transitioning Network Security Controls to the Cloud

by John Grady, on Aug 6, 2020

Abstract:

Fundamental changes to network architectures, primarily due to the adoption of cloud services and the implementation of mobility, have rendered traditional approaches to defending the perimeter—to the extent that it exists—and brokering secure access to corporate resources insufficient. As such, network security controls are being reevaluated, with organizations increasingly looking to cloud-delivered solutions that provide centralized management and distributed enforcement, integrate with SD-WAN architectures, and enable secure access to cloud services.

ESG Brief: Interest in Elastic Cloud Gateways Signals the Evolution of Network Security

by John Grady, on Jul 21, 2020

Abstract:

Network security at the perimeter has remained predominantly appliance-centric, despite the acceleration of cloud-delivered solutions in other parts of the stack. That is set to change as organizations look for stronger protection, improved performance, and a more consistent model across the increasingly distributed enterprise environment. Elastic cloud gateways are seeing significant interest as an approach to meet these business requirements through a converged, cloud-delivered network security architecture.

ESG Brief: Understanding IT’s New Normal in the Wake of COVID-19

by Scott Sinclair, on Jul 6, 2020

Abstract:

COVID-19 introduced the business world to a new and previously unforeseen risk factor, in-person face-to-face interactions. For knowledge workers, the result was a mass exodus out of corporate offices and into their homes, now dependent on remote work. For the IT organizations tasked with supporting their businesses and those knowledge workers, COVID-19 reaffirmed the importance of digital transformation, now as a risk mitigation tool, emphasizing the continued importance of streamlining operations, while accelerating cloud usage to shift more of the risk burden to third-party providers.
