How Secure Is
Your Data Center?

Digital transformation is changing the face of today’s IT

Applications are the foundation of your team’s productivity—and a key interface between you and your customers. And because applications are hyper-diverse and hyper-distributed, the data center is no longer a fixed location. It’s wherever your data is created, processed, and used.

As you meet new demands, your perimeter is growing

Increased app use, multiple clouds, and edge computing are causing IT perimeters to grow, which increases complexity, reduces visibility, and makes security a lot more difficult.

Cyber criminals are exploiting these security gaps.

Many security teams spend too much time defending the
data center—the old perimeter.

Meanwhile, 80% of breaches are via weak or stolen passwords,
and the majority of malware arrives via web or email.
Attackers are targeting the weakest links, which are users
and applications—the new perimeter.

A new approach to security is critical

Your security strategy should ensure the visibility of applications and data, restrict unnecessary privileges and access, and enable rapid threat detection and remediation.

See everything

Gain visibility into all users, workloads, and applications. Without this view, the data center is a black hole—and you can’t protect what you can’t see.

Reduce the attack surface

Increased visibility helps you develop policies to segment the data center to keep bad actors from accessing the entire infrastructure if they do breach the perimeter.

Stop the breach

Use security tools that quickly detect breaches and work within the data center infrastructure to rapidly remediate them.

Deliver better business outcomes

Agility

Provision applications quickly and securely, regardless of location.

Visibility

Get an in-depth view to better set and automate security policies.

Automation

Automate key tasks, such as security updates and software versions.

Assurance

Ensure that intended policies are functioning the way you want them to.

Meet regulatory requirements related to GDPR and data protection, make data center operations more efficient, and reduce the need for day-to-day overhead tasks.
