                                              Transform Your Firewall and Proxy Gateway with Security Service Edge (SSE)

                                              The roles of firewalls and proxy gateways are rapidly evolving with security service edge (SSE) transformations. Traditional firewalls, once focused on perimeter security, are now part of SSE cloud platforms as Firewall as a Service (FWaaS) alongside SWG, CASB, and ZTNA.

                                              Historical and Future Roles for Firewalls and Proxy Gateways

                                              The landscape of network security is under a metamorphosis. Traditionally, firewalls and proxy gateways have been pivotal in safeguarding our networks. Yet, as we transition into a new era characterized by remote work, heightened digital threats, and the rise of security service edge (SSE) solutions, the roles and effectiveness of these defenses are also transforming. This paper provides crucial insights into leveraging this evolution for enhanced security and efficiency.
