For many years, enterprise security was focused on the simple concept of preventing outside threats and trusting those inside the network. Once users were inside the security perimeter formed by firewalls , VPNs and secure gateways, they were widely trusted. This approach was effective when users, applications and data were all confined within a specific space. That boundary no longer exists. The traditional perimeter has disappeared as organisations transformed to cloud environments, adopted SaaS applications and made hybrid work possible. Critical systems have become accessible from anywhere, often using unregulated or personal devices. Perimeter-based security also creates blind spots. It introduces security gaps, limits visibility, and increases the risk of unauthorised access, making it ill-suited to today's dynamic enterprise landscape. The Collapse of the Traditional Perimeter The manner in which security must operate has completely transformed as a result of the move toward...

  By Shibu Paul, Vice President – International Sales at Array Networks As digital transformation accelerates, applications have become the backbone of business operations. From customer platforms to internal systems, almost every interaction now happens through web and API-driven environments. This shift has made application-layer security a priority and to strengthen the digital security and maintain customer trust, cloud WAFs are becoming a critical part of that strategy with significant operational and financial impact worldwide. Why Cloud WAFs Are Becoming Essential The way applications are built and accessed has fundamentally changed. They are now distributed, API-driven and exposed to the internet by design. At the same time, users connect from multiple locations, devices and networks that creates a security challenge that traditional tools are not designed to handle. Cloud WAFs address this gap by providing protection directly at the application layer, where modern threats ...

Hybrid work has uniquely changed how applications are accessible, utilized and safeguarded. Employees are no longer limited to a single office network as they use different devices and connections to communicate while traveling, working remotely from home, or in co-working spaces. The delivery of applications has become more complex than before because of this transformation. The challenge extends beyond making applications accessible. Organizations objective is to ensure that applications are delivered securely, reliably and with providing a consistent user experience that is regardless of the user’s location and network environment. A Distributed Workforce and Network Prior to the hybrid norm, many applications were accessible only in restricted corporate settings. It was easy for IT teams to manage both security and performance within a specific boundary. However, this traditional model does not exist thus it creates significant challenges for IT teams. Today’s applications are curr...

The most dangerous cyberattacks  today are not always direct. Increasingly, attackers are choosing a quieter and far more effective route - through the supply chain. They target trusted vendors, software providers or service partners instead of solely targeting one organisation at a time and then take advantage of access points to harm multiple organisations at once. Supply chain attacks have become a serious national security risk as a result of this transition. How Trust becomes the entry point Modern organisations depend on a vast network of third-party vendors. These links are important for speed and scale, from cloud services and software updates to managed IT providers. But they can also pose a risk. Attackers know that it's extremely difficult to effectively breach a secure organisation. It is often easier to take advantage of a smaller vendor with weaker security precautions. After entering, attackers are able to get to their real targets through shared systems, software up...

Protecting critical infrastructure from state-sponsored attacks is no longer a security concern but the core of national resilience, economic stability, and public safety. As digitalization and interconnected systems expand their capabilities, they equally increase the exposure to risk. State-sponsored attackers recognize this and are heavily investing on sophisticated cyber operations designed to disrupt power grids, hospital networks, transportation systems and telecom networks. Unlike typical cybercriminals, they differ in both intent and capability. These actors are well funded, highly skilled and often operate with geopolitical objectives. Their goal is not just disruption but to have influence over essential systems, create pressure and at times gaining strategic advantage. This makes such attacks fundamentally different and far more dangerous in today’s threat landscape. From Breaches to Disruption Traditional cybersecurity thinking has focused on preventing breaches. But in cr...
