THE NEW PARADIGM IN NEXT-GENERATION FIREWALLS

Today’s data center is more than just the building where the servers reside. It’s a dynamic entity spanning both physical and virtual resources. The data-center model itself has evolved from one where hard-wired connections drew a direct line to a stand-alone system, to a utility model, where users log into resources via wireless connections and care little about the who, what, and where of the processing power they harness. While this has dramatically increased the productivity and flexibility of the users, who rely on computing access, it has turned security into the cyber version of “whack-a-mole”—with security professionals chasing new threats as they emerge from an expanding attack surface.
