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.
