When: Wednesday, September 25 | 11:15–11:35 am

Speaker: Jay Sharma, Technical Marketing Engineer, Cisco

Description: The data and applications used by small and medium-sized businesses have become more decentralized as more users connect directly to internet-based and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications. Because of this, security capabilities and controls must also shift to the cloud.

This allows for fast filtering decisions regardless of the port or protocol, extending security beyond web access to Internet access.
