Inside Cisco's Approach to Secure Networking

Speakers: Jack Klecha, VP, Information Security, Security & Trust Organization and Jon Woolwine, VP, Cisco IT

Description: Join Cisco IT and security leaders John Woolwine and Jack Klecha for an in-depth conversation about why network infrastructure has become the biggest target in today's threat landscape, and how Cisco's IT and security teams partnered to implement a layered, integrated approach that fuses security directly into the network fabric — from campus and branch to data center and cloud. Key topics covered: -The network as the ultimate prize: Why attackers have shifted their focus from endpoints to the network, and why the network must now serve as our most critical line of defense. -Our layered, integrated approach: Moving beyond "bolting on" tools to a unified fabric that integrates security from the campus and branch to the data center and cloud. -Treating security as a team sport: How Cisco IT and Security align on shared visibility, planning, and goals to strengthen operations and resilience. -Best practices: Strategies for building a resilient, secure infrastructure and achieving measurable security outcomes.
