A CISO's Guide: Avoiding the Common Pitfalls of Zero Trust Deployments

The world has evolved and the on-going momentum of Cloud and Work-From-Anywhere (WFA) has become unstoppable. CISOs have realized their traditional security architectures, specifically VPNs, are no longer adequate to ensure only authorized users have access to critical resources. This has made the role of CISO ever more important because we now have applications everywhere and people everywhere, leading to increased cyber threats everywhere.

NetBT NodeType Configuration for Hardening

NetBT (NetBIOS over TCP/IP) is a network protocol used to integrate NetBIOS services into the TCP/IP protocol suite. NetBT settings are specific to each interface and include the NetbiosOptions setting and the NameServerList. These settings can be configured individually for each interface using the answer file. NetBT is essential for integrating legacy systems, enabling older applications and devices that rely on NetBIOS to communicate seamlessly with modern TCP/IP networks.

Cato Networks Surpasses $200M ARR and 2,500 Customers: Here's Why

When Cato Networks was launched and we onboarded our first customers, we were exhilarated to share the disruptive innovation that has turned into an incredible opportunity. Enterprises had become too complex, with many point solutions requiring assessment, integration, deployment, and maintenance. Cato was the remedy to that complexity.

Network Vulnerabilities Assessment: Benefits & Steps

Securing a network against cyber threats requires a thorough understanding of its vulnerabilities. A vulnerability assessment is a detailed process aimed at identifying, evaluating, and ranking potential weaknesses within a network setup. From examining configurations to assessing access controls, this assessment dives deep into every aspect of the network to uncover areas of vulnerability.

How much do Forward Enterprise customers save? IDC Business Value Solution Brief Highlights

The Problem: Ever-evolving network infrastructure, network complexity, criticality, and costs are compounding pressure on networking budgets, while widening network talent gaps, and advancing network service requirements. Many enterprise IT teams tread water with stop-gap measures providing narrow impact and short-term value.

Disable LLMNR Protocol for Network Security

LLMNR (Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution) is a protocol used by legacy operating systems for name resolution without a DNS server, compatible with both IPv4 and IPv6. It is included in Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, 8, and 10, and some Linux distributions. Introduced by Microsoft to enhance network resource resolution, LLMNR allows devices to multicast name queries on a local network if the DNS server fails to resolve a name.

Unlocking Simplicity in Network Security: The Cato Networks Story

Most security companies grow reactively, a continuous, complex cycle of funding and building point solutions to address emerging point problems. Cato Networks chose to revisit and address two decades of accumulated complexities in networking and security infrastructures, looking to finally solve and break the point problem, point solution cycle. Cato envisioned a better way.

Internet Safety at Sea: How to Stay Secure While Cruising

Staying connected while on vacation has never been easier. Even when sailing the ocean waves on a cruise, technology allows us to stay up-to-date with our friends and family, sharing our adventures and staying in touch with loved ones on social media, by email, over messaging and chat applications, and by video.

Making WAF ML models go brrr: saving decades of processing time

We made our WAF Machine Learning models 5.5x faster, reducing execution time by approximately 82%, from 1519 to 275 microseconds! Read on to find out how we achieved this remarkable improvement. WAF Attack Score is Cloudflare's machine learning (ML)-powered layer built on top of our Web Application Firewall (WAF). Its goal is to complement the WAF and detect attack bypasses that we haven't encountered before.

How SASE Ensures Healthcare & Pharmaceutical Companies Thrive

Healthcare and pharma companies are at the forefront of our most important need as humans: saving lives. To succeed, they require highly skilled staff members, medical equipment, drugs and resources. On top of these, there is another equally crucial component that will determine their ability to perform their jobs: their network. A secure, reliable and high performing network will ensure patient safety, data integrity and operational efficiency.
