What challenges do traditional firewalls face in modern networks?
Traditional firewalls struggle to keep up with the demands of modern networks, particularly due to the rise of encrypted traffic, which now accounts for 95% of all data. They were designed as static checkpoints and cannot effectively inspect encrypted traffic without impacting performance. Additionally, they often fail to support the complex interactions required in hybrid environments, leading to increased network complexity and security vulnerabilities.
How can organizations enhance their network security?
Organizations can enhance their network security by adopting integrated next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) that provide centralized management and visibility across all network edges. This approach allows for real-time policy enforcement and coordinated threat responses. Additionally, leveraging solutions like secure access service edge (SASE) and zero-trust network access (ZTNA) can help streamline security operations and reduce complexity.
What role does speed play in firewall performance?
Speed is essential for firewalls as they need to inspect large volumes of data at high speeds to protect against fast-moving threats. Traditional firewalls often cannot scale to meet these demands due to their reliance on off-the-shelf processors. To ensure optimal performance, businesses should consider firewalls that utilize advanced processing capabilities, allowing for efficient data inspection and automation without compromising security.
