Cisco TrustSec Announcement Jayshree Ullal, Senior VP at Cisco, discusses how Cisco TrustSec transforms enterprise security.
To evolve and remain competitive, corporate networks are forced to meet the ongoing challenges of expansion. Key business processes and applications are being shared cross-functionally and across geographies as a result of an increasingly global and mobile workforce. A primary concern of network expansion today is how to ensure secure collaboration between partners and suppliers. Achieving balance between security and global collaboration is a key competitive advantage.
Many regulatory compliance policies require that users only have access to information they are authorized to obtain, or that they require to perform their job function. Using current technology to enforce such policies at the required scale and depth is complex and challenging. In addition, fragmented security approaches reduce the speed of deployment and ease of managing applications, often decreasing overall usability.
