Digital Transformation Strategy – Improving User Experience While Maintaining Security
- Digital transformation often involves a rethinking of network and security architectures to accommodate new business models and technologies. How is your organisation approaching this transformation
- While security is paramount, performance and user experience are also critical. How does the organisation ensure that security measures don’t negatively impact network performance, especially for remote users?
- Traditional security models have focused on a centralised perimeter where all traffic passes through a corporate data center. As organisations move to the cloud and remote work increases, the perimeter becomes less defined. How do you provide consistent security everywhere?
