Hybrid work, cloud migration, SaaS sprawl, and globally distributed teams have made the traditional perimeter obsolete. The result? Security gaps, tool overload, and mounting operational pressure.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re spending more time maintaining infrastructure than moving the business forward, you&#8217;re not alone. Many enterprise IT teams are being asked to do more\u2014with fewer resources, tighter budgets, and growing risk. The more fragmented the environment, the harder it is to gain visibility, enforce security policies, and scale with confidence.<\/p>\n<p>Enterprises are shifting to Network as a Service (NaaS)\u2014a model that replaces fragmented tools with a streamlined, scalable approach to connectivity and security.<\/p>\n<p>NaaS-Simplifying Operations for Secure Cloud Networking, hosted by Joan Goodchild of CIO Magazine, explores how Network as a Service (NaaS) is helping enterprises rethink their network strategy to meet today\u2019s evolving demands\u2014balancing scalability, performance, and protection.<\/p>\n<p>Together, GTT and Fortinet uncover how NaaS addresses real-world challenges by unifying connectivity and security across data center, cloud, and edge environments. You\u2019ll learn how GTT and Fortinet are working together to help IT teams cut through complexity, strengthen their defenses, and gain more value from existing resources.<\/p>\n<p>At the core of the solution is GTT Secure Connect, which integrates Fortinet\u2019s SSE capabilities with GTT\u2019s global Tier 1 IP backbone for a single vendor SASE solution. The result is secure, high-performance connectivity and protection for applications across any cloud or location.<\/p>\n<h3>You\u2019ll hear from:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Darren Wolner, VP, Product Management, GTT<\/li>\n<li>Steven Watkins, Sr. Director, Offer Development, Fortinet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>In this session, they\u2019ll explore:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>How GTT Secure Connect delivers unified visibility and smarter control across distributed environments<\/li>\n<li>Why adopting a single-vendor SASE model simplifies both operations and security<\/li>\n<li>How SD-WAN and SSE capabilities work together to eliminate point solutions<\/li>\n<li>How enterprises are scaling faster using virtualization, automation, and built-in AI<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These insights are grounded in real-world examples from global enterprises using GTT Secure Connect to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Expand securely into new regions<\/li>\n<li>Meet compliance mandates without slowing operations<\/li>\n<li>Automate troubleshooting and reduce time to resolution<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re reevaluating your vendor stack, planning your next upgrade, or dealing with inconsistent policy enforcement, this
