The Fat Pipe - All of the Packet Pushers Podcasts

Today’s Heavy Networking gets into cloud-delivered security for user access. We’re sponsored by Palo Alto Networks, and we’ll talk about its Prisma Access service with a customer: Josh Dye, SVP at Jefferies Group.
With Prisma Access, user traffic is forwarded to the nearest cloud instance, where a variety of security controls are applied including user authentication, next-gen firewalls, IPS, secure Web gateway, content filtering, and more—all delivered as a service.
Jefferies Group is using Prisma Access to support distributed work during the pandemic while also meeting the stringent security and regulatory requirements of a financial institution. In particular, policy enforcement, decryption, and inspection are critical.
We’re also joined by Kumar Ramachandran, SVP of Product at Palo Alto Networks.
We discuss:

* Protecting bankers, traders, and other employees coming in from remote locations
* Responding to the pandemic during the early days
* Applying uniform policy across cloud-delivered and on-prem security systems
* The acceleration of distributed work and the complications of user access and security
* How distributed work affects your network architecture
* Collapsing hardware appliances into a cloud service
* Integrating SD-WAN with cloud-delivered security
* The role of zero trust
* More
