In an exclusive interview with CXOTalk, Michael Krigsman speaks with Anand Oswal, the visionary leader of Palo Alto Networks' network security business, to discuss the importance of securing unmanaged devices in today's digital environment. We delved deeper into sexuality.
“At Palo Alto Networks, we are dedicated to making every day safer than ever before,” Oswal emphasized. “My role is to ensure that users, applications, and data are consistently protected across all control points.”
Mr. Oswal emphasized the urgent need to address the security risks posed by personal laptops and mobile phones that access corporate applications and data. “More than 50% of his devices that access corporate resources are unmanaged,” Oswal revealed. “And the consequences are dire, with approximately 90% of successful malware originating from such devices.”
Oswal recalled a chilling incident. “The attackers penetrated the corporate network via the personal laptop of a site reliability engineer, leading to a data breach facilitated by access to unmanaged devices.”
“To address this growing problem,” Oswal introduced the concept of enterprise browsers, an innovative solution recognized by Gartner as an important emerging category. “By 2030, enterprise browsers will be the primary platform for secure access from unmanaged devices,” he said.
“Enterprise browser adoption is driven by the need to balance security and productivity,” Oswal explained. “Enterprise browsers provide a seamless, cost-effective solution and provide robust security without compromising the user experience.”
The acquisition of Talon, a leading enterprise browser company, further strengthens Palo Alto Networks' position in the cybersecurity space. “Talon's technology brings an additional layer of security to the browser workspace, protecting against advanced threats such as phishing and keylogging,” Oswal emphasized.
“Educating organizations about the risks associated with unmanaged devices is paramount,” Oswal emphasized. “Awareness and proactive measures are essential to mitigating the majority of data breaches that occur through applications accessed through a browser and through email.”
“The bottom line is that comprehensive security across all devices, managed and unmanaged, is critical,” Oswal emphasized. By adopting enterprise browsers and leveraging cutting-edge technology, organizations can strengthen their defenses and stay ahead of evolving cyber threats. ”
As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, our conversation with Anand Oswal is a timely reminder of the urgent need to secure unmanaged devices and protect critical assets in an increasingly digital world. I'll give it to you.
