Agencies operate in an increasingly distributed environment, with more users working in more places on more different devices. The traditional cybersecurity models simply aren’t adequate for such dispersed deployments; they may be less secure at the edge, or conversely may deny users access they need. They also can’t apply cyber tools over the whole network.
The answer is centralizing security in the cloud, giving users the same experience and access controls no matter where they are. By centralizing the security stack, agencies can apply a unified approach to identity verification and leverage AI to monitor all system traffic for cyberthreats.
“What we’ve found is that the old model of castle-and-moat style architecture doesn’t really work anymore,” said Ryan Shaffer, Technical Solutions Architect at Cisco. “We really need a stable, unified security policy that can pivot with wherever our users go, or whether they’re in the office or not.”
In this video interview, Shaffer explores the new risks posed by dispersed networks and offers strategies to secure access across multiple endpoints.
Topics include:
- Why traditional security approaches fall short in distributed environments
- How to create a security policy that works wherever users go
- How agencies can use AI to fight AI
