The threat intelligence data that Forescout Research – Vedere Labs curates comes from the millions of connected devices that we monitor, attacks we observe and dissect in our sandboxes, data relating to attacks that is traded on the Darknet, and from our Adversary Engagement Environment. We see a lot of data. One thing no cybersecurity researcher wants to see, however, is an attack on their own organization.

Tight security policies, access conditions, and subnetting configurations can take away risk but even mature Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) environments must balance cybersecurity with usability.

Firewall technology for network security has undergone considerable advancement with the introduction of cloud computing and the vanishing network perimeter with hybrid and multi-cloud environments. All along this transformation one thing that did not change is the way endpoints are identified – through the TCP/IP stack, specifically the IP address. This design principle needed a change for container-based applications. How did the NGFWs fare?
