The pandemic forced businesses to grapple with the implications of a largescale shift to remote work, with reshaped network architectures, spurring a rethinking of cybersecurity frameworks. Meanwhile, security threats like the $70 million REvil gang ransomware attack have gripped the headlines and put security teams on the spot.

Episode 5: Networking and Security in the Fully Hybrid Future
We live in a changed world. Advances in technology that were supposed to take years happened in months. Along the way, assumptions and legacy thinking gave way to urgency and a can-do .. no, must-do attitude. But one person’s chaos is another person’s opportunity. Cyber attackers have taken advantage of the disruption, scaling up their attacks against poorly defended end-points that suddenly sat in a living room, not a perimeter-protected, fire-walled corporate office. But a funny thing happened on the way to recovery and resiliency. Networking and security teams, along with business leaders and employees began to see the benefits in working together, breaking down the silos that hold back progress. At the same time, technology transformation put advanced tools like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning into the hands of the good guys. Automation promised some relief from the shortage of skilled security personnel. Partners and service providers stepped in to bolster capabilities. And thanks to protocols like SD-WAN and Zero Trust, the network evolved into a security plus rather than a vulnerability. We learned from the pandemic. In this fifth and final episode, we focus on the people, technologies, and data that’s driving a reassessment in how we think about networking and security. It’s a future where networking and security are even more integrated; where security is woven into everyday tasks, software, configurations, protocols, and plans. A future where the responsibility for security is shared throughout the organization.

Episode 4: Customers, Employees, Partners — How the network is evolving to Serve Them All
Working from home used to be a perk. Now it’s a way of life. The way we shop changed so quickly, so thoroughly, that many retailers were caught off guard, and technology in many cases wasn’t ready for the surge. Instead of a company-issued device hooked into a LAN, the network ecosystem became instead a diverse ecosystem of end points, corporate networks, home routers, and VPNs. For security pros, this had the makings of a nightmare. “I think the biggest source of breach is on the user side and it comes in the form of password management and a lot of those things,” says Zeus Kerravala, security research analyst with ZK Research. “I actually talked with somebody that does penetration testing and he said 90% of the hires that companies that hire him he can breach within an hour, and usually that’s just through bad passwords.” Security teams have always had to balance productivity with protection. With the pandemic, that task has gotten tougher. Security leaders say they’re more concerned about attacks targeting employees at home since social & work restrictions sent employees to their living rooms or spare bedrooms 18 months ago.[1] And yet … Despite the uptick in remote work last year, fewer than 40% of organizations have IT security policies in place to address end devices, video conferencing, or collaboration tools.[2] In this fourth episode of Comcast’s podcast series “Network Security for a Hybrid Business World,” we’ll focus on the changes our experts have noted, and how they’re affecting all the stakeholders: from customers, security teams, and employees to partners and leadership.

Episode 3: Crafting a Strategy for Agile and Secure Networks
Thinking strategically is key for success in IT. In 2021, IDG saw a significant jump in the number of CIOs calling themselves “strategic.” These are the CIOs who spend the majority of their time driving business innovation and identifying opportunities for competitive differentiation.[1] And this trajectory is expected to continue throughout the next three years as almost 6 in 10 say they want their focus to be even more strategic. It’s not just IT: 91% of network pros say that their relationship is highly or somewhat collaborative with their line of business peers.[2] But for many security pros, strategy is an area of concern: 87% believe their organization is falling short addressing cyber risks. And more than one in four say they’re not proactive enough when it comes to their security strategy. Security must keep up with network evolution Networks have come a long way from the days of a data center on location, a LAN and maybe a WAN, protected by firewall and maybe some intrusion detection. Set it and forget it and be done. Today’s networks aspire to be robust; virtual; intelligent; automated; and safe. That’s the plan. The business environment today demands it. But getting there is still a work in progress. Networking security, like a lot of security, can be reactive, spotty. Despite the uptick in remote work in 2020, less than 40% of network leaders say they have IT security policies in place to address end devices, video conferencing, or collaboration tools.[3] In this third episode of Comcast’s podcast series “Network Security for a Hybrid Business World,” we’ll focus on how networking and security pros are putting together their security strategies. We’ll look at the business demands driving network evolution, what network management options are trending, and how to prioritize and secure deployment.
