The days of securing the network at the perimeter are over. In a distributed, interconnected hybrid cloud environment, even the concept of a perimeter becomes problematic. For example, when you use Infrastructure as a Service, part of the network edge is embedded in the service provider’s environment and thus opaque to your security staff. In addition, the dynamic nature of hybrid architectures poses challenges for policy consistency and compliance. The proliferation of cloud-native technologies, such as containers and microservices, introduces new potential attack vectors and further complicates the security challenges.

Today, threats can come from anywhere—inside or outside the organization. Nothing can be automatically trusted, and everything must be secured. Therefore, hybrid security must be ubiquitous, which is why security staff are increasingly deploying software firewalls.

What goal do you want to achieve with software firewalls? Reply “Yes” or “No” to three statements, and we’ll deliver information to help you attain a new level of infrastructure security.
