The zero-trust model is critical for building a successful strategy to detect both internal and external cybersecurity threats. This approach requires setting and maintaining strict access controls and "no trust" as the default to all, including those already inside your network. There are several steps needed to properly evaluate your organization's current state before you can start implementing best practices.

As a network engineer, you're responsible for the uptime and stability of network infrastructure. One of the keys to keeping a happy and healthy network is making sure the devices are running firmware free of bugs and known issues. It may be tedious, but it's still relatively easy to do firmware upgrades if you only have one or two devices. But now, most environments have dozens of devices deployed at remote sites and branch offices. If you need to do a firmware upgrade on all of those, it's a whole different matter. This is where Network Configuration Manager can help by automating the normally manual process of firmware upgrades.
