The Enterprise network is under pressure like never before. Hybrid environments, cloud migrations, edge implementations and the sudden increase in AI -Workloads have made it increasingly difficult to keep the application connectivity safe and reliable. The old model of device-per-device, rules-based network management cannot keep track of contemporary Hyperconnected, API-driven world.
In this episode of Tech Talks Daily I sit down with Kyle Wickert, Field Chief Technology Officer at Algosec, to discuss the future of network management in the era of platformization. With more than a decade at Algosec and years of practical experience working with some of the world’s greatest companies, Kyle brings an unfiltered view of the challenges and opportunities with which IT leaders are now confronted with.
We talk about why companies are quickly shifting to platform -based models to simplify network security, but also why that strategy can start to break down when dealing with environments with multiple suppliers. Kyle explains the fragmentation about cloud, on-Prem- and edge infrastructure that wakes up CIOs at night, and why spreadsheets and manual change processes still occur far too often in 2025. He also shares why visibility, instrate-based policy and policy automation.
Kyle doesn’t just talk theory. He shares a Real-World case study of a European financial institution that automated policy provision on firewalls and cloud infrastructure, has integrated it with CI/CD pipelines and reduced the change rejection rate of 25% to 4%. It is a convincing example of how the correct approach to network management can provide measurable improvements in agility, security and business satisfaction.
