Cybersecurity technology: Everything is transforming and in play

Remember five to seven years ago

a

when everyone was gaga over next-generation firewalls? Well, in my humble opinion, next-generation firewalls are now a legacy technology. Micro-segmentation software from vendors such as Edgewise, Illumio, vArmour, and VMware has elbowed aside physical firewalls for protecting the confidentiality and integrity of east/west traffic, especially in hybrid cloud environments.

Meanwhile, software-defined perimeter technologies from the likes of Cryptzone, Google, ScaleFT, and Vidder are starting to gain traction for securing connectivity between users and applications regardless of device type or location. I also see lots of organizations vying for cloud-based alternatives from Cato Networks, Comodo, and Zscaler, rather than deploying hardware or software on premises.
