Consistent protection, reduced complexity
Read the paper
Software defined networking, virtualization, cloud, containers are changing the data center. Modern data centers now need to allow for application workloads to scale up or down, move in and out of the public or private cloud and on-premises locations to deliver services more quickly and closer to the customer. Your customers, partners, employees, and contractors are continually interacting with the data center in new and expanding ways, which creates a new level of complexity that is challenging to protect.

Safeguarding your data and application workloads requires a uniform security approach across physical, virtualized, and cloud environments, while providing the best visibility, control, and next-generation threat protection.

The truth about Zero Trust
Modern data centers are implementing Zero Trust architectures, but there are common misconceptions and myths.
Learn the truth
Are you getting best-in-class security?
Protecting your data center requires an integrated architecture that provides:
Complete visibility Gain complete insight into user, device, network, and application activity across all your on-premises data centers and private and public clouds with greater contextual awareness that maps to business requirements and risk.
Minimized opportunities for attack Prevent attackers from moving inside the data center and across multi-cloud environments by applying granular access control across north-south and east-west traffic using a combination of physical and virtual firewalls.
Automated threat protection Discover threats and malicious activity, block threats in real-time, and automatically isolate infected hosts to minimize business disruption and prevent data loss.
