[1 CPE] Protect Your Applications and Data from Ransomware Threats

  Presented by Airgap Networks

Typical enterprise attack surface has dramatically increased post COVID19. Employees, contractors, and vendors have access to enterprise crown jewels over legacy and insecure VPN technology for their respective home environments. It is no wonder that we are witnessing a rapid increase in cybercrimes in the last 18 months. Is protecting your application and data your top priority? If so, please join us in the session to understand the threat landscape and various technology options to safeguard your assets.

We believe the fundamental issues faced by the organizations relate to excessive trust relationships over VLANs and VPNs. For better security, we must ensure that every transaction is authorized and authenticated, and we must make this happen without the need for a bunch of legwork.

Join us and learn more about our point of view on how you can protect your assets without forklift upgrades. Ritesh Agrawal, Co-Founder and CEO of Airgap Networks, will discuss industry leadership and provide a technology overview, addressing the following:

  • How does the modern Application Access approach compare to the traditional remote access VPN?
  • What’s the best method to deploy and operate Universal Secure Access Solution?
  • How to apply zero trust principles, especially for legacy protocols such as SSH, SMB, WMI, RDP, etc.?
  • What’s the importance of SSO/MFA authentication coupled with intent check?
  • Walkthrough (Demo) real-world use cases across private and public sectors.

Enjoy the INTERFACE event and we look forward to meeting you at the (virtual) booth.
