It really wasnt very long ago when installing a Firewall (FW) or Unified Threat Management (UTM) system at the perimeter was deemed secure enough to protect corporate networks. But those very networks have changed dramatically over the past decade. But how exactly does FWaaS open up these possibilities for your business?

In a 2016 Hype Cycle for Infrastructure Protection report , Gartner Analyst Jeremy DHoinne initiated the emerging category of Firewall as a Service (FWaaS). Cato Networks is a pioneer of a new architecture that provides FWaaS as part of a broader WAN transformation platform. For example, when WAN security and connectivity is required.

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. The proxy firewalls faded. I guess not.

Firewalls – the foundation of an organizations network security strategy – filters network traffic and can enforce an organizations security rules. However, a firewall is only effective if it can accurately identify network traffic and apply the appropriate security policies and filtering rules.

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. So what is a Firewall as a Service and why do you need it? What is FWaaS, and Why Do You Need It?

Recent trends in enterprise networking have created a challenge for network security engineers. The rise of mobile devices, combined with the shift to cloud based platforms, means that many networks no longer have a clear perimeter, where all applications and users could be jointly protected against cyber-attacks.
