Gartner Analyst Nat Smith and Cisco SVP Gee Rittenhouse discuss the latest trends in firewalls.
Why Cisco firewalls?
Prevent breaches automatically to keep the business moving
Are you protected 24/7? Cisco Talos constantly analyzes threat data and creates security protections that the Cisco Next-Generation Firewall uses to automatically prevent breaches. We stop attacks in their tracks so your business won't miss a beat.
Are you seeing the full picture? You can't stop threats that you can't see. Get the deepest network and security visibility using built-in advanced security features like NGIPS and advanced malware protection to detect and stop the most advanced threats fast.
Stop playing whack-a-mole with threats. Let the Cisco Next-Generation Firewall do the work for you. Automated policy application and enforcement free up time so you can focus on high-priority tasks. Cisco firewalls work with the rest of Cisco's integrated security tools to see and stop threats faster.
