Delivering on Gartner’s Hybrid Mesh Firewall Framework
Hybrid work, hybrid clouds, and distributed enterprise architectures have made one thing clear: security can no longer be built around a single perimeter. Today’s networks span branches, multi-cloud workloads, data centers, and thousands of IoT and remote endpoints. Yet many organizations still operate siloed firewall architectures that weren’t designed for this reality — leaving them with fragmented visibility and inconsistent policy control.
Securing OT with Versa NGFW: A Practical Guide for Network Security Leaders
Operational Technology (OT) is no longer an air-gapped island. Manufacturing and distribution sites now connect Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs), and sensors to cloud analytics and remote vendors, which expands both capability and the attack surface. In this context, Versa’s Next‑Gen Firewall (NGFW), delivered as part of its Universal SASE platform, provides OT‑aware visibility, segmentation, continuous inspection, and zero-trust controls to protect these devices.
Reducing the Cost of Ownership with a Unified SASE Strategy
Today’s network and security teams are drowning in a patchwork of systems, each adding cost, management overhead, and risk. And worse yet, this tangled web of tools still can’t keep up with the threat vectors as cloud adoption and hybrid work accelerate. That’s why more organizations are shifting to a platform-based SASE approach to simplify operations, reduce costs, and significantly improve their security posture.
