As the worlds of networking and security increasingly collide, the role of network engineers is also evolving. IT teams are now on the frontlines of an organization's cybersecurity, monitoring what’s happening across traffic, users, devices to spot issues and threats early, and act before they escalate.
When network and security architectures are integrated well, complexity decreases while performance increases, security gets stronger and latency lowers; and overall, day-to-day operations become simpler.
