Why Network Privacy is Becoming a Critical Layer of Modern Cybersecurity

In 2026, network privacy has become a critical layer of modern cybersecurity. With cyber threats becoming increasingly advanced and businesses embracing hybrid work, cloud platforms, and interconnected systems, network security can protect data moving across networks and reduce exposure to cybercrime. This article will explore why network security is so important in 2026, the risks associated with unsecured connections, and how businesses can strengthen their posture. Read on to find out more.

What Is MFA for Air-Gapped Networks? Closing the Last Security Gap in Isolated Systems

Air-gapped networks are supposed to be untouchable. No internet connection, no remote pathway, no way in for an attacker sitting halfway across the world. But ask any security team that has actually run one of these environments, and you'll hear a different story. Air gaps stop remote attacks cold. But they do almost nothing to stop a stolen password, a careless USB stick, or an insider with too much trust and too little oversight. That's the gap, and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is here to fill it.

Common Types of Network Devices and Their Functions

Network devices, including routers, switches, firewalls, and more, form the infrastructure that determines how data moves through a network and where security controls apply. Each type carries its own function and risk, from repeaters and switches that move traffic to firewalls and IDPS appliances that defend it. Getting the OSI layer and security implications of each device right is the foundation for a defensible network.

Proportionate Containment: Stop Threats Without Stopping Operations

What does effective containment look like in practice? In this video, Daniel Trivellato, VP of OT, Healthcare and Cyber Risk Solutions at Forescout, explains how organizations can apply proportionate containment strategies that reduce cyber risk without disrupting operations. Learn why context matters, how containment actions should align with the severity of a threat, and how security teams can respond quickly while keeping critical systems running.

How to Build a More Flexible and Connected AV Setup

A boardroom gets used for a client demo on Monday, a town hall on Wednesday, and a hybrid interview on Friday. It was built for one of those. It's now handling all three, badly. That mismatch is what flexible AV design fixes. Not by cramming in more gear, but by rethinking how the room, the network, and the equipment connect to each other in the first place.

Cato Managed SASE for SMB: Flexible Capacity, Faster Onboarding

For MSPs and service providers, a managed SASE offering needs to be repeatable across a small and midsize business (SMB) customer base, from selling and licensing, through provisioning and support. But traditional per-customer licensing can introduce friction every time a partner adds or expands a customer. That process can slow onboarding, add administrative work, and limit how partners allocate capacity.

Why Good Cybersecurity Containment Doesn't Cause Outages

Many organizations hesitate to contain cyber threats because they fear disrupting operations. But effective containment isn't about shutting everything down. In this video, Daniel Trivellato, VP of OT, Healthcare and Cyber Risk Solutions at Forescout, explains why good containment should be contextual, controlled, and proportionate. Learn how organizations can reduce risk, isolate suspicious devices, restrict risky communications, and limit lateral movement while keeping critical operations running.
