Traditional, perimeter-based security architectures reach their limits in highly distributed, hybrid IT environments. Together with Cisco—and inspired by the hyperscaler model of major cloud providers—we are adopting a distributed security fabric instead of a rigid perimeter wall: Security is woven directly into the network, servers, and workloads, rather than concentrated at individual checkpoints. This architecture scales with your business and brings the security benefits of hyperscalers to your enterprise environment. The result: security that is effective wherever it’s needed—centrally managed but distributed in its enforcement.
