Symantec Security Conference in Bishkek: insider threats and traffic protection

On March 31, Bishkek hosted a practical conference on protecting corporate IT infrastructure, organized by the system integrator Green Light with the support of the distributor MONT TECH Kyrgyzstan. Presales engineer Gulden Zhaishylyk presented an in-depth technical review of solutions from Symantec by Broadcom - a vendor whose technologies protect 60% of the Fortune 500 companies.

The main topic was the shift from fragmented protection tools to a unified architecture capable of controlling data and access in the conditions of 2026 - an era of distributed teams, total traffic encryption and the explosive growth of generative AI.

The human factor and "invisible" data: a new DLP strategy

Opening the block devoted to Data Loss Prevention, Gulden Zhaishylyk stressed: today the main threat comes not from external hackers, but from a company's own employees. The presentation covered in detail the architecture of Symantec DLP - a unified platform for controlling all communication channels: Endpoint (monitoring of workstations), Network (control of mail and web traffic), Discover (scanning of corporate storage). The OCR module, which prevents leaks through screenshots, was also reviewed.

The end of the era of uncontrolled admins: deploying OnePAM

The second block was devoted to privileged access management. According to Forrester Research, up to 80% of security breaches are linked to the compromise of administrator accounts. The Symantec OnePAM solution implements the Zero Trust model inside the IT department: a PAM proxy, real-time control of actions, automatic password rotation.

Decryption and filtering: why a Secure Web Gateway is needed

The final block was web traffic protection. The Symantec Edge SWG solution acts as an intelligent intermediary between the user and the internet: inspection of encrypted HTTPS/TLS traffic, URL filtering across 200+ categories, management of 45,000 application signatures.
