What Is a Hybrid Mesh Firewall ?

Today ’ s cybercriminals are exploiting the fact that most organizations lack consistent visibility across various segments of their distributed networks . And because of the interconnected nature of data center , campus , cloud , and branch environments , east-west traffic has increased , allowing a successful breach in one part of the network to quickly spread to others . The most effective way to address this challenge is to deploy the exact same security in every part of the network , thereby enabling centralized threat correlation and coordinated protection to multiple areas of enterprise IT simultaneously . But the complexities and differences between various network ecosystems have made that difficult . That ’ s why Gartner has begun advocating for the broad adoption of hybrid mesh firewalls ( HMF ).

Hybrid mesh firewalls combine the ability to deploy critical NGFW functions anywhere across your network – campus , data center , virtual / cloud , and FWaaS / SASE environments – with remote unified management . This creates a single , integrated platform that can span , scale , and adapt to today ’ s dynamic and distributed networks .

From its unified management console , an HMF coordinates protection across IT domains ( corporate sites , public and private clouds , and remote workers ). This integrated approach allows IT teams to automate threat detection and response , orchestrate configurations , and enforce policies without investing needless manual hours – especially when the cybersecurity skills gap is already constraining resources . �
