Cybersecurity today can be complicated. Yet, the goal is straight-forward. Protect users as they access applications and resources and stop threats before they reach your users or network. Security Service Edge (SSE) is the architectural approach needed to lower risk in today’s hyper-distributed environments, securing users and things as they access private apps, SaaS apps, and the internet.  
In this educational webinar, we will highlight the aspects of SSE that protect internet and public SaaS application traffic. As cyberthreats have proliferated and grown in sophistication, techniques to counter them have had to evolve as well.   
View the third session in the Security Service edge (SSE) Institute to learn about a variety of capabilities, grounded in the Zero Trust principles, that can thwart SaaS/internet cyberthreats and lower risk in your organization.

Step Up Your Game: Modernize How You Secure Access to SaaS Apps and the Internet

Your security goals might be clear (like securing access from users working anywhere to applications located everywhere, for instance), but maybe the path forward isn’t quite as simple. You might need a roadmap and a guide to figure out how to get exactly where you want to go. Most security leaders know the importance of zero trust in strengthening their security, but there are still plenty of questions: what do you do first? What should you not do at all?

Navigating Emerging Threats: Insights for Security Leaders

There are seemingly endless views across the cybersecurity industry on what XDR should and shouldn’t include. In reality, XDR strategies can leverage any and all of an organization’s telemetry sources, but there are a few that are foundational to a strong and effective XDR solution. In our last webinar, we discussed how endpoint telemetry was critical to detecting, investigating and responding to threats effectively, but network telemetry is equally foundational.

Join us to explore the importance of leveraging network insights to inform better XDR outcomes and to help organizations protect against today’s most dangerous complex threats.

Leveraging Network Insights to Inform your XDR Outcomes

Existing threat detection and response technologies are not as effective as they need to be for today’s security landscape. This unfortunate reality is becoming more evident as increasingly insidious cyber-attacks are disrupting businesses globally, and overwhelming security teams with the volume and complexity of the alerts they see daily. 

Maintaining effective security operations in today's chaotic threat landscape requires an extended detection and response (XDR) approach that improves upon past threat detection models and leverages new technology and techniques that can defend against today’s threats.

Join us for a chat with ESG and Cisco experts as they walk through ESG’s recent XDR research and detail: 
• How XDR addresses current and future challenges by utilizing threat correlation and automation
• How network insights can help detect complex threats beyond current industry approaches 
• How to take a phased approach to XDR implementation that leverages existing investments and unifies visibility regardless of vendor or vector.  
• How the right XDR automates security operations processes to elevate SOC productivity

By the end of this session, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge needed to determine XDR’s suitability for your organization and how you can implement it into your organization.

How a Risk-based XDR Approach Improves Threat Detection and Response

Security Analysts: Are you tired of doing the same old repetitive tasks over and over again, not leaving any time for you to respond to new and potentially dangerous threats? 
SecOps Managers: Are you struggling with the resource shortage in your SOC and need to find better ways to help your team deal with the overload of tasks and alerts? 
CISOs: What are your vendors doing to help your teams work smarter - not longer hours - helping them become more strategic and able to handle new complex threats they see daily? 
Join Cisco experts as they talk about what effective automation looks like, what automation in the world of XDR really means, and why it’s vital for you to start using.

The time for automation is now: How your attackers are using automation

Security Analysts: Are you able to leverage telemetry across all your security point solutions to get a clear picture of what is happening across your organization? 
SecOps Managers: Is your SOC team switching from product to product just to piece together one connected attack? Is your team able to gather insights from all available sources? 
CISOs: Are your vendors helping you make better use of your existing security investments and allowing you to make the best use of your security stack? 
Join us to learn how taking an open approach to XDR and leveraging native but also third-party tools can result in better detections of threats, and a more coordinated response strategy!

With more data, comes more responsibility: The open nature of XDR
