Policy Management in Cloud and Hybrid Networks

Problem

As cloud adoption has progressed in our industry, certain trends and preferences have become apparent. Many companies prefer to have hybrid networks, combining on-premise and cloud networks. A good number of companies choose to have both public and private cloud networks rather than relying on just one. The use of multiple cloud service providers is common. While managing inherently different networks is a challenge in itself, managing network security and access policies across on-premise firewalls, cloud firewalls, micro-segmented networks, and microservices environments poses unique challenges for network security professionals.

Unified Network Security Policy Management

Siloed policy visibility and management across different networks and cloud providers are time-consuming, prone to errors, and often unachievable due to limitations of time and human resources. The lack of unified network security policy management increases the risk of cyber breaches and business downtime. Network teams should be able to manage their security policies across their private and public cloud platforms, and on-premise network security seamlessly.
