The Problem
Traditional firewalls weren't built to secure modern traffic

Traditional firewalls can’t deliver zero trust
Traditional network-based firewalls use an IP-centric, zone-based architecture that increases the attack surface and lets threats move laterally. They can’t adapt to enforce dynamic policies based on user context, risk, and device posture. Next-generation firewalls (NGFWs), on-premises or in the cloud, struggle to inspect 100% of traffic without slowing performance, forcing network admins to choose between performance and security.
In short, traditional and next-generation firewalls can't provide zero trust to protect work-from-anywhere users, cloud apps, and locations.
Solution Overview
Move beyond legacy architecture with a zero trust firewall
Built on a cloud native platform, a zero trust firewall protects web and non-web traffic for all users, apps, locations, and clouds.
Unlimited scale and cloud native TLS/SSL decryption capabilities ensure 100% inspection of all traffic, with zero performance degradation. Protect users, devices, and apps anywhere from cyberthreats, protect data, and ensure regulatory compliance.

Use cases
A complete platform to serve your whole organization

Bring security as close to the user as possible, delivering user- and app-aware threat protection and risk-based policies with the cloud effect for consistent, identical protection from anywhere and on any device.

Apply adaptive, risk-based policies from a centralized console that can terminate malicious connections.

Protect cloud infrastructure and resources, detect anomalies, and dynamically assess risk computation for user, device, and location.

Drive better user experience and cloud app performance while implementing DNS security and control policies. Achieve faster resolution by pairing geographically local apps.

FAQs
Zero trust is a security strategy in which entities are granted access based on context and security posture—not assumed trust. A well-tuned zero trust architecture leads to simpler network infrastructure, a better user experience, and stronger cyberthreat defense. Learn more.
NGFWs provide inline application control, IPS, threat prevention, advanced anti-malware, and more. They also enforce stricter access controls on network traffic than traditional firewalls. However, they weren’t designed to support cloud apps and infrastructure. Learn more.
NGFWs go beyond traditional firewalls, adding inline application control, intrusion prevention system (IPS), threat prevention, and advanced malware protection, and more. However, they weren’t designed to support cloud apps and infrastructure. Learn more.
SSE is a convergence of network security services delivered from a purpose-built cloud platform. SSE core services include secure web gateway (SWG), zero trust network access (ZTNA), cloud access security broker (CASB), and firewall as a service (FWaaS). Learn more.
