Cyber security continues to be top of mind for organizations of all sizes and around the world. Given the value and risk at stake, security is now a boardroom discussion. In today's Digital Economy, the business environment has never been more competitive and organizations are constantly evolving to take advantage of new opportunities. But new business models that drive business value are also creating opportunities for attackers. Modern extended networks and their components constantly evolve and spawn new attack vectors that adversaries are exploiting.
As cybercriminals hone their craft and execute more advanced and damaging attacks, we've also been innovating to protect our customers by thinking like an attacker to stay ahead. Most NGFWs reduce risk by providing access control over applications and users. But they don't eliminate threats because attackers can still exploit open web connections and approved applications. For superior protection, an NGFW must be able to provide deep visibility into and across the network, apply intelligent automation to identify threats, adapt protections to a dynamic network environment, and quickly scope and recover from attacks to minimize damage.
