High-stakes holidays. The season of risk??

Welcome to November’s SASE Insider. This month, as the holiday season kicks into gear for many, industries across the board are feeling the pressure – from surging retail transactions to packed flights to logistics spikes. With more hybrid work, year-end goal pushes, and busier IT teams, businesses are juggling it all. And where there’s peaks, there’s opportunity for threat actors. It’s hunting season for them. Read on to keep your organization prepared, high-performing, and secure.??

And it’s native to our SASE Cloud platform, so there’s no deployment or integration headaches. The result? Better visibility, improved security, and enhanced compliance. Easy. Learn all about it. ?

TL;DR?
