Why Traditional NGFWs Fail to Meet Today’s Business Needs

This whitepaper-style document outlines how enterprise IT has become distributed (cloud, remote work, branches, mobile and IoT devices), argues that traditional appliance-based next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) are limited in coverage, scalability, and manageability, and presents Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) as a cloud-native solution offering global reach, improved visibility, simplified management, integrated security, scalable protection, and performance benefits; it also references Cato Networks' SASE Cloud as an implementation example.
