Enterprise IT and security experts are under increasing pressure to manage complex network environments and keep up with growing business demands. Lack of centralized visibility of critical network firewalls hinders the ability to deliver services and applications with security, speed, and accuracy. Regulatory and corporate compliance requirements such as SOX, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001 mandate data visibility and automated policy governance for the firewall. Fast pace migration of workloads to the cloud is resulting in orphan firewall policies thereby increasing the security exposure to external threats.
