Through both vendor consolidation and evolution, security capabilities are increasingly being woven into the network fabric. Is this a good thing or does it undermine everything that you've done over the past ten years? This hour-long webcast will help every security practitioner understand network/security evolution and how to harness this strategic trend to make better tactical decisions. Beginning the journey by understanding where network security has come from, attendees will be exposed to three different future state scenarios including network security remaining a best of breed function, being into switches and routers and finally being implemented in the network cloud as a service. There are no absolutes when gazing into the crystal ball, but understanding what could happen enables security practitioners to determining the most effective time for infrastructure upgrades.
