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.
