Tech Workshop WatchGuard: Zero Trust security with WatchGuard

• June, 18 | 10:45 - 11:45

The coronavirus pandemic has highlighted the inadequacy of business continuity measures for many organizations, also underlining the slow pace of digital transformation. As the waters calm down, many companies start an intense rationalization, working on maintaining operational continuity in the short and medium term and trying to evaluate which path to take for the future. This aspect has various complexities, as we need to consider how to protect people, data and remote applications over an extended period, perhaps forever. The new reality requires moving away from traditional network-centered security methods, which presuppose the reliability of every device and user present in it. With the large number of end users working remotely today, the adoption of the Zero Trust approach to security has accelerated dramatically, especially in large companies. Emerging businesses, often lacking in-house security experts, struggle to keep up.
In our speech we will analyze how the dynamics of COVID-19 have affected security, we will outline the importance of a Zero Trust approach and we will see how WatchGuard can help companies to guarantee essential security in this complicated historical period.
