Visibility has always been a challenge for enterprise security, but as we move to a cloud-first world where employees can be productive anywhere, traditional strategies are crumbling. An employee could be sitting within the confines of the corporate office and yet the enterprise might be completely blind to their activities. Why? Because increasingly, corporations no longer control the device, the network or the data. Combine that with the explosion of encrypted communications, and the expensive legacy security stack ends up protecting only a small fraction of employee internet traffic. Join Michael Sutton for an in-depth conversation on visibility and protecting what you can’t see in a cloud-first world.
