Enterprises face a wide range of cyber threats, compounded by a dissolving network perimeter. At the same time, today’s network security infrastructure presents a complex patchwork of disparate technologies. This lack of standardization leaves ample opportunities for human error and exploitable gaps in protection.
An evolved network security infrastructure requires an enterprise firewall that reduces complexity while fulfilling the demands for security efficacy, performance, and new capabilities.
Frost & Sullivan conducted a survey of enterprise IT decision makers and influencers to determine these pressing needs. Their paper—Evolving Expectations for Enterprise Security—provides a useful launching point for determining the necessary role of enterprise firewalls within today’s changing security infrastructure.
