Why Traditional Firewalls Fall Short
Firewalls provide network security but create operational challenges for distributed environments:
- COST – Enterprise security appliances require significant upfront and ongoing investment.
- COMPLEXITY – Policy management often requires specialized skills and continuous effort.
- MAINTENANCE – Ongoing updates and patching increase operational overhead.
- PERFORMANCE – Deep inspection on appliances can reduce throughput and introduce latency.
- REMOTE WORK – Traditional architectures are difficult to secure across branch and remote environments.
