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.

The East-West WAN traffic visibility gap : SASE converges two separate disciplines: the Wide Area Network and Network Security. Extending visibility and control to all traffic regardless of source and destination requires a separate network security solution. The answer is: a cloud network.

Security policies for MPLS based networks need to be managed at each site and the various appliances must be continuously updated and upgraded. Many organizations today are choosing to migrate to SD-WAN (software-defined wide area network), because it can eliminate the challenges of MPLS networks.

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. This requires a shift in our security models. We can no longer assume that the WAN is secure.

It’s a change that makes perfect sense, because network flow records provide clear and concise insight into network traffic patterns. The trend in engineering and capacity planning applies as well to wide-area network (WAN) service assurance, where network flow data is also essential.

There is no need for network security at the remote site or within mobile users device as all Internet traffic is sent to and received from the N+SaaS service.
