Are your enterprise security practices
0:01
stuck in the past? Outdated approaches
0:04
aren't just ineffective, they're
0:05
dangerous. It's time to break free from
0:08
following seven bad habits and embrace
0:12
Today's IT environments are cloud-based,
0:14
remote, and highly distributed. Some
0:16
traditional security concepts simply
0:18
doesn't apply anymore. Attackers are
0:21
constantly evolving, making those old
0:22
habits a significant risk to your
0:26
First, perimeter only security is dead
0:28
in a cloud-first hybrid work environment
0:30
where users and data reside both inside
0:32
and outside the traditional perimeter.
0:34
Perimeteronly security leaves
0:36
organizations dangerously exposed to
0:38
lateral movement attacks, ransomware,
0:40
and data exfiltration. Adopt zero trust,
0:42
never trust, and always verifying
0:45
regardless of location.
0:47
Second, security programs focused on
0:49
compliance often overlook real threats,
0:51
creating a false sense of safety. This
0:54
approach leads to poor data visibility
0:56
and delayed threat response,
0:57
highlighting the need for core
0:58
strategies like zero trust and
1:00
continuous risk assessment.
1:02
Third, legacy VPNs are outdated, hard to
1:05
manage, and pose security risks due to
1:07
limited scalability and patching. Modern
1:10
workplaces benefit more from secure
1:11
access service edge safe and zero trust
1:14
models which offer flexible, scalable,
1:16
and proactive protection.
1:19
Fourth, EDR solutions improve endpoint
1:21
security but fall short against modern
1:23
threats targeting cloud platforms,
1:25
networks, and IoT devices. Sole reliance
1:28
on EDR leaves blind spots, making
1:30
broader strategies like identity
1:32
protection and API monitoring essential.
1:35
Fifth, SMS-based two-factor
1:37
authentication is no longer secure due
1:39
to outdated telecom protocols and weak
1:41
identity verification. It's vulnerable
1:43
to attacks like SIM swapping, allowing
1:45
attackers to intercept codes and gain
1:47
unauthorized access to sensitive
1:51
Sixth, on-prem CMS often cause alert
1:53
fatigue, lack cloud visibility, and
1:55
incur high data storage costs.
1:58
Organizations risk missing critical logs
1:59
or overspending, making cloudnative
2:02
scalable alternatives more suitable for
2:03
today's hybrid and cloud-first
2:07
Finally, number seven, treating users as
2:09
passive and security weakens defenses.
2:12
Fishing and social engineering exploit
2:14
human error. So, organizations must
2:16
invest in ongoing training that empowers
2:17
users to actively recognize and respond
2:19
to threats, making them a strong first
2:21
line of defense. Embrace zero trust,
2:24
safe, and continuous adaptive risk
2:26
assessment. Invest in comprehensive
2:29
security beyond just endpoints.
2:31
Prioritize robust multiffactor
2:34
Move to cloudnative security solutions
2:36
for better visibility and cost
2:38
efficiency. Don't let outdated practices
2:41
compromise your organization. Review
2:43
your current security posture against
2:44
these obsolete methods. Implement modern
2:47
proactive strategies like zero trust and
2:49
safeace and empower your team with
2:51
continuous security awareness training.
2:54
Share this information with your
2:55
colleagues to foster a stronger, more
2:57
secure environment for everyone.
