SUMMARY:WiCyS Ontario Affiliate: IT & Security Leaders Turn to Lateral Security
DESCRIPTION:IT and security leaders need to find a method to stay ahead of adversaries as ransomware gangs continue to hone and ramp up their operations. \nAs successful assaults increase\, it is clear that endpoint and perimeter security alone is insufficient to safeguard an entire organization. Instead\, businesses need to adopt a lateral security strategy that places a set of organized\, all-encompassing capabilities between the perimeter and endpoints. The only way to successfully detect\, prevent\, and remediate ransomware and other advanced threats is by combining a variety of tools\, including network segmentation\, micro-segmentation\, and advanced threat prevention capabilities like intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS)\, network sandboxes\, network traffic analysis/network detection and response (NTA/NDR)\, and others. \nJoin us for an hour-long webinar to see how VMware security helps counter some of the most complex assaults.
