As companies look to reduce corporate risk, protect against data breaches and other incidents, and maintain regulatory compliance, a zero trust security strategy provides significant advantages when compared to legacy models. However, zero trust is only effective if it is enforced and supported by strong security solutions.

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 idea behind Cato is simple.

In addition to legacy data centers, enterprises now have extensive assets in the cloud as well as in branch and remote offices and, increasingly, in workers own homes. For most organizations, the cloud is a critical piece of their transformation. The legacy hub-and-spoke architecture is pure kryptonite to cloud application performance.

Since the beginning of networks, the lynchpin of network security has been the firewall. The first network firewalls appeared in the late 1980s, and gained almost universal acceptance by the early 1990s. FWaaS eliminates those issues by uniformly applying the security policy on all traffic, for all locations and users.

The market for SD-WAN has been driven in part by its ability to reduce bandwidth costs and improve the performance of cloud access. 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.
