How can other members or organizations collaborate with your company on cybersecurity projects?
A solid cybersecurity strategy starts with the network, the foundation of all digital initiatives. Therefore, it should be the first thing addressed when creating your cybersecurity strategy. As a networking provider, Extreme Networks works with multiple ecosystem partners to provide flexible, secure integrations and streamline customers’ adoption of technology while maintaining network security.
Extreme Network’s solution portfolio, from network fabric for hyper-segmentation to cloud management for improved visibility, forms the backbone of a robust cybersecurity and risk management strategy. We also recently launched ExtremeCloud Universal ZTNA, the first network security offering to integrate network, application, and device access security within a single solution, helping IT teams establish and maintain a consistent security policy across the network and enforce a zero-trust policy for all devices and users connecting to the network. Organizations are more distributed than ever before, which poses challenges for IT departments defending against an advanced cyber threat landscape. With Universal ZTNA from Extreme Networks, organizations have an easy-to-manage access layer that spans anywhere users connect to the network, enabling secure, cost-efficient operations and better support for IoT devices.
