WEBINAR - What's next for data center firewalls? - Tuesday, January 26, 2021
Led by: Eric Parizo, Senior Analyst, Cybersecurity Accelerator, Omdia
Date: Tuesday, January 26, 2021
Time: 8 am San Francisco / 11 am New York / 4 pm London
Duration: 45 min + Q&A
Your data center looks very different today than it did a year or two ago. Monolithic, centralized, physical resources are increasingly giving way to hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Applications are becoming distributed and modular, trusted users may be located anywhere, and East-West traffic suddenly represents the new network perimeter.
As this new world of virtual cloud networking takes hold in the data center, the need for efficient, effective data center firewalling becomes even greater. However, everything about the data center firewall is also changing, including where it lives, how it protects the software-defined data center, and what kind of new management, integration, and automation benefits are becoming possible.
Join this webinar to learn about the evolution of data center firewall platforms, key architectural and functional changes, the benefits for enterprises, and the most important considerations when designing network security for the software-defined data center.
