For many companies, security has largely been piecemeal where they introduce point products into their environment to address every new threat category that arises. As a result, security teams that are already stretched thin have found themselves managing massive security infrastructures and pivoting between dozens of products that don't work together and generate thousands of often conflicting alerts. It is time for security to be reimagined and radically simplified. Join Gee Rittenhouse, SVP/GM, Cisco Security Business Group, to learn about Cisco SecureX, a cloud-native platform that completely changes the user experience and tackles complexity.
