By David C. Stuart Full NGFW integration yields streamlined security and greater value from investments We know that security, when done properly, can be a business enabler. But as IT teams build out their security capabilities, the lack of integrated solutions yields lower threat effectiveness and inevitably leads to an explosion of complexity and cost. When Cisco developed the Firepower NGFW , providing best-of-breed effectiveness while keeping costs and complexity in check were a priority, so organizations could focus on security while optimizing resources to focus […]
