"Is cybersecurity recession-proof?" That's the question on the minds of many security professionals and executives as a possible economic downturn of indeterminate length and severity looms and many organizations are tightening their belts.

If economic uncertainty persists, expect organizations to mitigate risk and manage costs by consolidating their security services, solutions, and providers.

If executives can consolidate several different security services by investing in a single, unified solution, that's an attractive opportunity.

The public internet, on the other hand, is more affordable but also riskier from a security standpoint, and the costs of a significant breach might easily outweigh the costs of MPLS in any given year.

The security complexities of public cloud services must be considered as well.

ZTNA supports cloud-native services by design so that, as cloud utilization scales up, the organization's security scales along with it - all without requiring the organization to purchase arrays of new security hardware or software or hire new security talent to manage, monitor and update it.
