Join our virtual hands-on lab to explore Zscaler's Zero Trust Branch (ZTB) platform, focusing on Branch Connector and Airgap technologies. This session demonstrates how Zscaler's modern approach moves beyond legacy network architectures to enforce least-privilege access and advanced micro-segmentation. You'll see how each endpoint is isolated, dramatically reducing the attack surface and preventing lateral movement—crucial for containing breaches and limiting internal threats. Participants will tour the Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA), Zscaler Private Access (ZPA), and Privileged Remote Access (PRA) consoles, and observe how policies and rule sets provide granular control over user and device access for both internal (East-West) and external (North-South) traffic. The lab is read-only, but you'll be able to view all Zscaler modules and their settings in action.

AI adoption, digital transformation efforts and macroeconomic conditions are putting more pressure on IT leaders to simplify to more efficiently support their business. Key to that effort will be tightly integrated and intelligent solutions that create a unified experience that drive action. Join Vikas Butaney, SVP and GM of Cisco Cloud, SD-WAN, and Industrial IoT Connectivity, and Raj Chopra, SVP and Chief Product Officer for Cisco's Security Business Group, as they discuss the convergence of networking and security in today's IT landscape. The two talk with WWT experts Chris Konrad and Neil Anderson about Cisco's networking and security strategy that focuses on creating a great unified experience, and the role data and AI play in the future.

Adoption of Secure Service Edge (SSE) platforms, which provides security and policy enforcement right at the cloud edge, is accelerating and remains key to realizing a full SASE model. In this episode of WWT Research, Technical Solutions Engineer Nicole Portell outlines steps you can take to implement SSE for a secure, scalable and flexible network architecture that optimizes traffic flows and optimizes user experience.
