Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) has moved from an emerging security concept to a foundational enterprise architecture in 2026. Traditional VPN technologies, once considered essential, are increasingly viewed as a security liability rather than a protection layer. Industry research consistently shows that more than 65% of enterprises experience VPN-related security incidents annually, driven by credential
Network Access Control is no longer a checkbox. As GCC enterprises accelerate digital transformation, IT/OT convergence, and smart-building deployments, the risks of unmanaged, unclassified devices on your network have never been greater. UAE regulatory mandates — NCA, CBUAE, NESA — now require organizations to demonstrate continuous visibility, automated compliance enforcement, and rapid incident containment across
Arista Networks acquired Awake Security in 2020, integrating Awake’s advanced network detection and response (NDR) capabilities into its own cognitive cloud networking solutions. Mr. Rahul Chander Kashyap founded Awake Security to address the challenges faced by security teams, particularly the overwhelming number of alerts and the difficulty in identifying and investigating real threats. The platform
In today’s AI-driven world, digital connectivity has become fundamental to how organizations operate. The environment has shifted from data-centric to network-centric, where networks serve as the neurons of AI operations — facilitating communication, data transfer, and resource sharing across devices and systems. As AI applications grow in complexity and scale, the demand for efficient, high-performance
The data centers contribute 4-5% of the world’s total electricity usage. This signifies the role it plays in GHG emissions and the worrying climate changes. It is important that organizations consider energy-efficient systems for their critical IT requirement to meet their business objectives. And the same time reduces their carbon footprint and gets the benefit

Typical OT and IoT inherently lack visibility and are often done using manual work, hence having a large, exposed attack surface. OT systems were initially designed with little to no consideration of security, and as a result — attacks on OT Systems have risen exponentially over the past 10 years. The average cost of a cyber-attack
The number of wireless devices connected to the network increases yearly (roughly 11.930 billion mobile devices globally). This includes data and voice connectivity for the employees, wireless internet access for guests, and connectivity for IoT devices. Wireless standards have evolved at a pace that challenges even seasoned network engineers to keep up. If you are
Historically VMware is into virtualization. With the acquisition of Last-line VMware firmly started attacking the $5B security market. With the ongoing trend of distributed applications and with the growing east-west traffic the traditional approach of physical firewall appliances becomes very inefficient. For example, network changes have to occur to get the traffic funneled in and
