Network Security-as-a-Service: beyond the Next Generation Firewall

CATO Networks

Existing enterprise firewalls relied on the use of specific ports to apply application security rules. By application, I dont mean salesforce.com. Rather, it is the mostly irrelevant distinction of application protocols such as HTTP, FTP, SSH and the like. What is the way forward? Firewalls are complex entities.

CATO Networks

SD-WAN uses a software-based control plane to drive on-premise edge devices to dynamically allocate Wide Area Network (WAN) traffic between MPLS and Internet links. Lets start with the network. The core networking and network security layers of the IT infrastructure remained separate for more than 20 years.

The Future of the Firewall is in the Cloud 

CATO Networks

I read with some surprise the interview with Zscalers CEO, Jay Chaudry, in CRN where he stated that the network firewalls will go the way of the mainframe, that the network is just plumbing and that Zscaler proxy overlay architecture will replace it with its application switchboard. This is my take. The proxy firewalls faded.

How Secure is Your SD-WAN?

CATO Networks

These drivers, though, also come with baggage: the reassessment of todays corporate security model. Traditionally, Wide Area Networks (WANs) and network security were loosely coupled entities. This requires a shift in our security models. We can no longer assume that the WAN is secure.
