\u201cCybersecurity is the only industry with active adversaries. Those adversaries are using the power of AI and ML, and attacks are getting more and more sophisticated.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 Anand Oswal, SVP and GM of Network Security, Palo Alto Networks.<\/span><\/p>\n

From reducing complexity in the architecture to supercharging risk posture, building cyber resilience is top-of-mind for every organization. But, what does it take to achieve true cyber resilience in today\u2019s rapidly changing cybersecurity landscape? How do you stay ahead of the latest threats while defending against zero-day attacks?<\/span>

\"Headline<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/p>\n

I had the pleasure of speaking with Anand Oswal<\/a>, SVP and GM of Network Security at Palo Alto Networks. He shares his thoughts on the direction of enterprise security and how organizations can prepare for what\u2019s next.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>3 Major Trends in Cybersecurity<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Cybersecurity is constantly evolving, but the present landscape is undergoing a distinct transformation. Anand shares the three trends he\u2019s seeing in the industry:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>1. The Move to the Cloud<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Anand mentions that more workloads are rapidly moving to the cloud, with network and cloud security architects rethinking how to secure their shifting infrastructures. Migrating from on-premise data centers to the cloud often leaves critical security gaps, and misconfigurations open organizations to attack.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>2. Remote and Hybrid Work<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Despite recent return-to-office initiatives across the industry, flexible work arrangements are here to stay. Anand notes that organizations are grappling with securing applications and users wherever they are located.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEnsuring that we\u2019re able to secure a hybrid workforce in a consistent manner with best-in-class security \u2013 and also have consistent policies for users no matter where they are \u2013 is going to be very critical.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>3. The Changing Threat Landscape<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Anand explains that adversaries are using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) <\/a>to launch sophisticated cyberattacks. These malicious actors can generate attacks at scale and overwhelm traditional cyber defenses.<\/span><\/p>\n
