Preventing ransomware spreading with simplified segmentation

For 30 years, ransomware has relied on its ability to spread faster than detect & respond based tools act, with a lot of success. In today’s DevOps, cloud, and automated world, the task of preventing this spread with legacy tools has become more complex than ever as speed has become the priority of most organisations.

To secure modern IT and prevent lateral movement of attacks, organsations must shift from traditional detect/respond to containment measures to eliminate risk and shrink attack surfaces. Join this session to understand how to combat this ever-increasing risk in four steps:

• How any organisation can visualize connectivity in real-time on any fabric.
• Why separating segmentation from the network is key to simplifying segmentation.
• How modern tools can validate security posture and policy with a click of a button.
• Bring speed and scale through automation using real-world examples from NSW Education, Cathay Pacific, QBE and more.
