If You Give a Stack a Firewall

The real story behind the legacy IT mess, and how to breakย the loopย 

No enterprise planned for a networking and security environment like this. The IT stack grew one justifiable decision at a time. A firewall here, a VPN there, then ZTNA, SWG, CASB, and every other tool or solution that followed. They werenโ€™t designed to work together, but they were the only options IT had.

Complexity showed up each time a new tool solved a problem, but created a new one. Over time, integration turned into overhead, and overhead turned into risk.

This eBook breaks down how a decades-long cause-and-effect loop created a legacy IT stack no one ever wanted to build, and why SASE closes the loop for good.

Whatโ€™s inside:

  • How IT tool stacking created an architecture no one intended
  • How a series of reasonable fixes created an unreasonable amount of complexity
  • Where visibility, performance, and control break down when tools donโ€™t share context
  • How a converged, cloud-native platform replaces the entire legacy mess without rebuilding the stack
