PSW #766 - Sinan Eren, Nate Warfield

Is there still a network or has it slipped away from us entirely? What about efforts for localization because people do not trust the cloud, its providers or its reliability (ala Twitter vs. the Fediverse?). Do you still need actual hardware firewalls? What about VPNs? How long will these devices still be around as everyone goes to the cloud and SDWAN technologies? And what about identity? If you can nail identity, doesn't that set you up to be a cloud-first organization? Join us for a discussion with Sinan and the security weekly hosts as we tackle these questions!
