Today’s hybrid workforce and cloud-first environments have expanded the attack surface—leaving enterprises more vulnerable than ever. Selecting the right next-generation firewall (NGFW) is critical to protecting your business without sacrificing performance.

Our new white paper, Scaling for High-Performance Security: 7 Criteria for Choosing Next-Generation Firewalls, provides a practical framework to evaluate your options. You’ll learn how to identify solutions that deliver:

• AI-powered threat protection to defend against evolving cyberattacks
• High performance under full load without compromising user experience
• Single-pane-of-glass management for visibility and efficiency
• Integrated SD-WAN, SASE, and ZTNA for hybrid environments
• Lower total cost of ownership with compact, energy-efficient designs
• ASIC acceleration for real-time protection at scale
• Independent validation to ensure claims match real-world performance

With the global average cost of a data breach now at $4.88M (IBM, 2024), choosing the right firewall isn’t just about security—it’s about protecting your bottom line.
