Why Digital Acceleration Needs a Hybrid Mesh Firewall Approach

As organizations accelerate digital transformation, applications now span data centers, hybrid and multi-clouds, and the edge. This agility drives growth—but also multiplies security complexity.


Today’s IT teams face challenges such as:


  • Uncontrolled outbound communications that risk data exfiltration
  • Lateral movement of threats across VNETs and workloads
  • Limited secure connectivity bandwidth to cloud environments
  • Fragmented security tools that increase overhead and blind spots


The solution? A Hybrid Mesh Firewall (HMF).


An HMF integrates next-generation firewalls across data centers and clouds, centrally managed with AI-driven intelligence. This approach:


  • Provides centralized visibility across environments
  • Reduces management overhead and tool sprawl
  • Delivers automated, consistent protection from code to cloud
  • Closes gaps created by siloed, platform-specific tools


Whether you’re lifting-and-shifting workloads, building cloud-native apps, or scaling multi-cloud architectures, an HMF enables you to secure every stage of your cloud journey with confidence.
