The business landscape has changed dramatically over the last decade, and the modern workplace is almost unrecognisable compared to what came before. SaaS applications, mobile connectivity and remote working have eroded the effectiveness of traditional moat and wall approaches to perimeter defense, while changes in attacker behaviour have exploited the gaps left by this shift.
In this webinar, presented in association with Cloudflare, reviews and community editor Adam Shepherd sits down with Cloudflare CTO John Graham-Cumming to find out why the new network perimeter is so different, and how organisations can utilise cutting-edge cloud technologies to stay ahead of the curve.
