Streamline Your Security Position and Strengthen It in the Process – Richard Yew – RSA23 #2
New security vulnerabilities are growing by more than 24% YoY and critical zero day exploits are occuring at an increasing frequency. At least a quarter of internet traffic is from botnets that are constantly scanning and attacking websites 24x7. Recently, cyber attack group i.e. Killnet and Anonymous Sudan claimed some of the largest application DDoS attacks in history.
In light of the constant change in the threat landscape, how does an organization keep up with the attackers who're always innovating? New specialized security solutions are regularly being introduced to address new threats, increasing complexities and the non-functional requirement(NFRs) associated with integration of these systems to already complicated enterprise web applications. How does an organization implement holistic defense without increasing cost, complexity and impacting user experience?
Edgio will address how an edge-enabled holistic security platform can effectively reduce the attack surface, improve the effectiveness of the defense while reducing the latency of critical web applications via it’s multi-layered defense approach. It also offers the ability to integrate with an enterprises' DevSecOps workflow to achieve better security practices. Edio will discuss how its security platform “shrinks the haystacks” so that organizations can better focus on delivering key business outcomes.
Consolidating an organization’s security footprint will enable them to be more efficient and to be better protected along with the ability to integrate with their DevSecOps workflow to achieve better security practices.
