As businesses and organizations scale and grow, their network infrastructure can also grow increasingly large and complex. Using a flat network structure (all devices connected on one server) makes it easier for cybercriminals to roam freely and unimpeded in the system in the event of a successful cyber attack. Implementing network segmentation best practices can limit the scope of an attack, prevent malware from spreading, and disrupt lateral movements across your IT ecosystem.
For decades, IT and operational technology/industrial control systems (OT/ICS) were seen as separate entities within organizations.

While this separation kept OT networks more protected, it is no longer practical.
Security teams are often overwhelmed with alerts daily, including false positives, and actions that require attention but might be placed on the back burner.

The use of Application Programming Interface has skyrocketed with the rapid adoption of cloud, web, and mobile apps. Accordingly, API security testing has had to move into a completely different phase owing to the complexity as well as time and resource limitations. API testing involves testing the APIs directly, including their functionality, reliability, performance, and security.
This blog was jointly written with Kumar Ramachandran, Senior Vice President, Palo Alto Networks Most people can recall a time when computers were pieces of equipment that remained in a fixed location. Because of this, security was less of an issue outside of an organization's own walls. That all changed when laptop computers and mobile devices ushered in the era of the mobile workforce.
