21 – Building Security Using SASE and Zero Trust

Sunil Choudrie, Product Marketing lead (DLP and Email) at Broadcom Software and part of Symantec’s global information protection practice, joins the Holtz Story to discuss the latest attack vectors. 

The podcast opens up with a discussion about changes in the industry and what has been learned throughout the pandemic. Sunil shares how the pandemic has caused many organizations to move to the cloud from on-premises and some of the challenges faced. Employees are leaving offices and taking data with them. According to a recent survey by Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), about 1/3 of staff will be working in the office full time in the “new normal.” 

The conversation then shifts towards building cloud security by adopting SASE and Zero-Trust elements. Sunil explains SASE and where it fits. He discusses the meaning of Zero-Trust and why we may see Zero-Trust and SASE potentially replacing VPNs.  

The conversation ends with a discussion about how Symantec plans to utilize SASE and Zero-Trust with customers. Sunil discusses the recent launch of the Symantec Enterprise Cloud Platform, which brings together the principles of SASE and Zero-Trust.
