Distributed Approach to Data Center Security

At the center of recent security changes is the new data center; transforming to be highly distributed and software-defined, and scaling at the speed of the business – to be more agile and efficient. In this dynamic world, can your organization fully secure new processes, applications, and infrastructure? Can your organization harness the advantages of cloud infrastructures faster without the risk?

Unfortunately, relying on traditional security won’t get you there. The traditional, well-defined perimeter is long gone. Assets and data are scattered everywhere, both inside and outside the enterprise, and assets are highly mobile. The value of perimeter-based approaches continues to shrink. It’s not enough to build a better and better perimeter – security must be done differently in the new world.

The answer to the new data center security requirements is to follow a Distributed Approach to Data Center Security. Come and join us to learn how to protect data centers with micro-segmentation using the cutting-edge technologies such as distributed security systems.
