7 Symptoms Your Legacy Firewall Isn’t Fit for Zero Trust

Hub-and-spoke networks and perimeter firewalls worked when there was a perimeter to protect, but to secure and enable a modern hybrid workforce, you need zero trust—and for that, data center-centric architectures just don’t work.

Today, aging firewall models (even the “next-generation” firewall, introduced in 2008) are slow, and they can’t offer inline, real-time protection against malware or protect SaaS apps from lateral movement, a necessity as 95% of new workloads are deployed in the cloud.

Read this ebook to understand the symptoms that show your firewall might not be fit for zero trust, including:

• Poor visibility and performance when inspecting encrypted traffic at scale
• Inability to stop ransomware attacks or prevent lateral movement of threats
• High risk of internet-borne infections spreading across your hybrid cloud
• Traffic congestion and complex routing when securing a remote workforce
