For many organizations the application is the perimeter, and traditional firewall deployments have evolved to a mixture of physical, virtual and cloud-native appliances. As a result, organizations are struggling to operationalize support for modern application environments. The challenges of how to maintain consistent visibility, policy enforcement and uniform threat visibility without opening vulnerabilities that expose the organization to risk.
At Cisco, they've building a network security vision, NetWORK, that enables a more agile, automated and integrated approach for harmonizing policies and enforcement across modern dynamic applications and increasingly heterogeneous networks. Secure Firewall gives you the deepest set of integrations between core networking functions and network security, delivering the most secure architecture ever. The result is a complete security portfolio that protects your applications and users everywhere.
