Organizations are looking for ways to protect their assets amidst today’s ever-increasing threat landscape. You only need to look at the latest headlines to see why security is more important than ever. Also, the latest generation of web-based applications, combined with the proliferation of mobile devices, have made it challenging to effectively manage traffic and provide access to data while delivering the right mix of security and network services. There might be hundreds or thousands of applications running across a typical enterprise network—some of these applications are important to the business and some are not.
How do you control what applications are allowed on your network, and how do you restrict those that are not? How do you make sure your network traffic is prioritizing business-critical operations? How do you get stronger security without compromising your operational efficiency? How do you make sure your security doesn’t negatively impact your business? This where a next-generation firewall can help you.
