There are people moving to “next-gen” firewalls (a great innovation of 2005) in 2022. To further illustrate this point, one of the innovations sandbox participants showed the slide that mentioned that the VPN market alone today is larger than the entirety of all cloud security markets, defined broadly and loosely, and then rounded upwards.
Early SD-WAN solutions “were built only to replace an MPLS-VPN with an Internet-based VPN,” Ahuja says. The firewall emerged as the cornerstone around which companies were encouraged to pursue a so-called defense-in-depth strategy. Anti-virus suites morphed into endpoint detection systems. SASE fundamentals.
