Many enterprises today are exploring the benefits of Secure Access Service Edge (SASE). SASE is a modern networking and security solution for enterprises that converges SD-WAN and network security solutions like NGFW, IPS, and NGAM. SASE provides a single, unified and cloud-native network and security service that is adapted to current and future technology and business needs.

The Netskope Security team is happy to announce the official release of our newest Cloud Threat Exchange plugin built in-house, which now allows users to pull threat data discovered by SecLytics. This integration leverages the SecLytics Bulk API to allow users to pull identified URL, IP, and CIDR block indicators of behavior (IoBs) into Cloud Exchange.

Comprehensive visibility into network protocols is a hallmark of Zeek (and therefore Corelight) data. That's why we are very happy to announce that with our v27.2 release we are supporting a new analyzer for the LDAP protocol. You likely know LDAP as a workhorse for carrying directory information across the network. While it's an open standard, it's most often seen as part of several server implementations, especially Microsoft's Active Directory, OpenLDAP, and others.

Corporate IT infrastructure has become crucial to the success of the modern business. Disruption in the availability of corporate applications and services will impact employee productivity and business profitability. Companies are responsible for the resiliency of their own IT systems and this includes ensuring the constant availability of critical business applications for employees, customers, and partners.

As organizations respond to an ever-evolving set of security threats, network teams are scrambling to find new ways to keep up with numerous standards and regulations to dodge their next compliance audit violation. Can this nightmare be avoided? Yes, and it’s not as complex as one might think if you take a “compliance first” approach.

Ensuring employees operate securely regardless of location has grown in importance over the last several years as the number of people working remotely has exploded. These workers are most likely operating within a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN). They use SD-WAN to work with data that is now processed more and more in many different cloud services.

According to the Cloud Security Alliance, the average large enterprise has 946 custom applications deployed. Traditionally, organizations deployed Web Application Firewalls (WAF), which provide visibility and enforce security controls on external traffic that passes through them, at the perimeter to protect these applications against external attacks.
