Words of wisdom from Sun Tzu: “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.”
One of those battles is defending the network against cyberattacks, and it’s constant. The military general and strategist was wise millennia beyond his time. He knew the power of complete visibility against an enemy who relies on evasive maneuvers.
Network security has not fundamentally changed over the course of the last several decades. While we’ve seen new architectures emerge, if you take a step back, you’ll see that the security industry has simply shifted the same detection and prevention techniques to new locations (on-prem, public cloud, as-a-service from cloud, cloud-native).
