Think bigger than a single control point.
Once upon a time, the firewall sat on the network edge and protected an entire organization. But times
change, and so has your network. Today, hard-and-fast perimeters are a thing of the past. Firewalls must
enforce common policy with control points everywhere. Intelligent control points and comprehensive
visibility where you need it—that's firewalling—delivered by appliances, virtual appliances, cloud-delivered
firewalls, and application and workload control.
With a comprehensive firewalling strategy, consistent security controls are deployed everywhere you need them.
Gathering, sharing, and responding to context about users, locations, and devices, as well as helping ensure
you meet your organization's security requirements. This integrated approach offers full visibility with prioritized
alerts, unified policy, shared threat intelligence, and stronger user and device authentication.
