Traditional Firewalls Can’t Keep Up with the Growth of Encrypted Traffic

The article explains that the majority of Internet traffic is encrypted with TLS/HTTPS, which hinders traditional network security tools that require packet inspection; it outlines how TLS inspection creates performance bottlenecks when performed by multiple on-premises appliances. The piece promotes SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) as a scalable solution that converges security functions, uses cloud-native elasticity to offload decryption, and reduces cost and complexity, and references Cato's SASE platform as an example.
