The challenges that IT security professionals face grow more complex daily: Cyberthreats are sophisticated and ever-evolving, the workforce is varied and mobile, and access to the corporate network must be customized and efficient.

Businesses are moving toward a Zero Trust security model to meet these demands. An integral component of zero trust is deploying a layered enterprise security strategy, which relies upon multiple levels of defense to safeguard against threats, instead of a single tier of protection.

  • Why three popular security solutions benefit from DNS-based security
  • A common enterprise security configuration
