Embracing the new network

The networking environment is changing, and smart organizations are embracing the new network. The
widespread adoption of hybrid-work and post-pandemic digital transformation are key security
considerations driving network modernization in 2023 and beyond.

Even the most stubborn of organizations are realizing they need AIOps, automation and analytics as the
number of endpoints and ways to manage them are transforming quite drastically. It's becoming critical
to use analytics and act on it in an automated manner.

At the same time, even the most stubborn of organizations are realizing that growing security threats
demand automated solutions like AIOps to provide real-time intelligence needed to protect organizations.

Organizations will be tested as new target vectors emerge alongside rapid growth in networks and
connected devices. Network modernization, with better security as a core goal, can help organizations
meet these challenges and grow for the future.
