Cloud Security & Network Convergence Strengthens Attack Response
When network and security operate as separate functions with separate tools, attack response slows down at every handoff. At RSA Conference, John Grady, principal analyst at TechTarget's Enterprise Strategy Group, sat down with Aviatrix CEO Doug Merritt to explore why the convergence of cloud networking and security is not just an architectural preference but a meaningful improvement in how enterprises detect, respond to, and contain attacks. This is a conversation worth watching for anyone thinking about where cloud security needs to go next.
What you'll hear in the video
Why network and security convergence changes the speed and effectiveness of attack response in cloud environments, not just the operational model
How keeping networking and security separate creates the gaps and blind spots that attackers exploit after initial access
What the path to convergence looks like in practice for enterprise organizations, and where most teams are in that journey today
Doug Merritt's perspective on where cloud network security is heading and what Aviatrix's role is in accelerating that shift
