Executive overview

Today’ s users need a network that allows them to connect to any resource from any location using any device. At the same time, data center and campus networks must operate in a hybrid IT architecture, working alongside next-generation branch offices, private and public multi-cloud networks, remote workers, and cloud-based Software-as-a-Service( SaaS) solutions. As a result, enterprise security teams are under enormous pressure to provide complete visibility across a moving and distributed network environment to secure and track every user and device accessing data, applications, and workloads. This gives cybercriminals an excellent opportunity to infiltrate your network from the edge. And once they are in, they can wreak havoc.

Unfortunately, most traditional security tools, like legacy firewalls, were not designed for this challenge. They were designed to be static network checkpoints with highly predictable workflows and data. What’ s needed now is unified network security designed for today’ s hybrid infrastructure with integrated next-generation

firewalls( NGFWs) across the network and form factors, centralized management, and coordinated response to threats. This unification of security needs to protect assets and users located anywhere, converge and consolidate distributed solutions to reduce overhead, simplify management, enable automation, and dynamically scale services and bandwidth to meet your constantly evolving business requirements.

New problems

The data center, though essential, is no longer the primary location for corporate applications. Instead, applications can be deployed anywhere. Because a transaction or workflow may span multiple environments and applications, the source, destination, and data path can sometimes change several times, making it impossible to track and secure a transaction end to end.
