Enterprise networks do not operate inside a single security perimeter. Workloads now run in on-premise data centres, public clouds, branch offices, and remote endpoints simultaneously. Employees connect from home networks, cloud infrastructure scales dynamically, and applications interact increasingly across multiple platforms. These changes have created a major challenge for traditional network security. Legacy firewall architectures […]
