Streaming - and really all content creators and consumers - would not have accelerated as it did without that much-needed bandwidth. In much the same way, we see the idea of Zero Trust Network Security, introduced more than a decade ago, needing its own boost for more widespread adoption. That help has arrived in the form of Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), the ideal framework for Zero Trust.
As we look ahead to 2021 and to defending against an ever-evolving variety of exploits and attacks, it’s important to consider the cybersecurity attack vectors that will be most prevalent in the upcoming year.
Any apparent election interference from countries like Iran and Russia is typically met with partisan posturing. But while politicians are busy debating which candidate might benefit, there’s a good chance that someone, somewhere, is trying the same thing again right now.

Though anticipating and preparing for the future is always smart business, there are some industries which take it a step beyond the norm. In cybersecurity, the concept of “future proofing” is essentially the modus operandi everyone adheres to considering just how quickly a massive breach can turn the tide on our collective defenses. By their very nature, security professionals are constantly preparing to head off new threats by diagnosing them and creating an active defense model that makes it nearly impossible - and absurdly expensive - for hackers to get at their data.
