Cloud features – like public cloud support, CASB and cloud workload protection – and cloud-based management have also grown in importance, and Firewalls as a Service (FWaaS) are catching on too. If you’re already working with a networking vendor and they have strong firewall offerings, they’re worth evaluating of course.
At the time, in the spring of 2018, only 25 percent of commercial websites used HTTPS; today adoption is at 98 percent and rising. This surge in TLS abuse has shifted the security community’s focus back to a venerable network security tool, the firewall. Related: Malicious activity plagues the cloud services. Decryption bottleneck.
