Before Shlomo and Gur cofounded Cato, Shlomo cofounded Check Point Software, creator of the first commercial firewall. Their mission was clear: secure the resources inside the firewall from the wily and dangerous world outside of the firewall. Back then life was much simpler for networking and security professionals.

In 2014, Gartner analysts wrote a Foundational Report (G00260732, Communication Hubs Improve WAN Performance) providing guidance to customers on deploying communication hubs, or cloud-based network hubs, outside the enterprise data center. What is a communication hub? This helps deliver predictable network performance.

Network responses then flow back through the same stack and travel from the data center to the remote user. If you are in a remote office, your organization may not be able to afford a stack of security appliances (firewall, secure web gateway or SWG , etc.) Why does this compromise exist? in your office.

At the core of NFV is the notion that network functions, such as SD-WAN , firewalling and secure web access, can be delivered as virtual appliances and run either on premises (vCPE) or at the carrier core data centers (hosted). Running VNFs at the carrier data centers requires a scalable and elastic underlying infrastructure.

Because of this, all network traffic tends to be backhauled to a primary data center or hospital to enforce security against that traffic. If connectivity to the main hospital or data center is lost, access to the applications is also lost.

Advanced threat protection addresses these risks with various technologies, such as next generation firewall (NGFW) , Secure Web Gateway (SWG) , malware protection , and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). The most common way to deliver threat protection at a branch is to deploy a local firewall or UTM appliance.

Most SD-WAN vendors provide basic security features such as encryption, layer 2 access control, and possibly some basic firewall functionality. By using service insertion or service chaining, separate security services such as firewalls and IPS are inserted into the data flow. Generally around 3-5 is enough.

Castle and moat alone doesnt cut it anymore In the early 2000s, most mission critical data within a WAN flowed between corporate data centers and offices. Secure Web Gateway (SWG) Web-borne malware is one of the biggest threats facing enterprise networks today. This made the castle and moat approach to security viable.

Now companies needed a way to bring advanced security to wherever resources resided, in the cloud or the private data center, and wherever users worked, in the office, at home, or on the road, and do all of that without compromising performance. Solving the site-to-site communications challenge was no longer sufficient.
