Cloud migration and evolving security risks have changed the way enterprises build and secure their networks. Defending modern networks requires integrated security technologies, from identity and access management (IAM) and data loss prevention (DLP) to Zero Trust.
Securing the modern enterprise network is no easy task. As organizations continue to shift their infrastructure to hybrid and cloud environments, legacy security tools (like on-premises firewalls and intrusion prevention systems) can no longer defend an expanding and flexible network perimeter. And the increase in frequency, size, and sophistication of cyber threats — both within and outside of the network — presents an added challenge for enterprises looking to prevent and eliminate potential attacks.
To counteract these challenges, enterprises need to implement more flexible and proactive security solutions, from access control and user authentication technologies to data loss prevention, browser isolation, malware detection, and more. Often, these security technologies are bundled together on an architectural model called secure access service edge (SASE), which delivers network connectivity services and network security functions from a single cloud platform.
Monitor threats from a single control panel, enabling security teams to quickly detect and remediate attacks before they reach internal networks
Increase network speed and reliability by modernizing network infrastructure, simplifying branch connectivity, and mitigating potential threats
Protect sensitive data from internal and external breaches, helping ensure continued compliance with data security regulations
Replace risky VPNs, reduce data exposure, mitigate attacks, and ensure reliable enterprise network connectivity with a SSE and SASE platform.
Limit user access to enterprise networks and data, protect critical applications and infrastructure, and eliminate lateral movement.
Enforce proactive enterprise security measures by using filtering and inspection policies to catch phishing and ransomware attempts.
Isolate and execute risky third-party code away from enterprise network environments — helping block the spread of malware from malicious or unknown sites.
Cloudflare adds an additional layer of security to Zalando’s enterprise network while improving performance and availability.
Werner Enterprises moved their legacy applications to the cloud, protected users from email-borne threats, and consolidated network security with Cloudflare.
An enterprise network privately connects branch offices, internal data centers, and employee devices. Today, enterprise networking is rapidly evolving.
Network security is a category of practices and technologies that keep internal networks protected from attacks and data breaches.
Like cyber security, cloud security is a very broad area, and it is never possible to prevent every variety of attack. However, a well-designed cloud security strategy vastly reduces the risk of cyber attacks.
Here are the five most common band-aid solutions organizations implemented during the pandemic and the long-term issues related to them.
On-premises infrastructure — the corporate network of the past — cannot provide the rapid scalability and flexibility offered by the cloud.
As applications move to the cloud and employees move out of offices, legacy network solutions (like VPN hardware) fail to solve the core problems with enterprise network architecture.
Today, more of the workloads in a modern enterprise run outside of the network perimeter. So why are enterprises still spending money building more complicated and ineffective network infrastructure?
Regain control, lower costs and reduce risks by converging security onto Cloudflare’s intelligent platform of programmable, cloud-native services.
Network modernization opens up new possibilities, such as making the network more performant by streamlining the architecture, and more secure by eliminating trust.
