Achieve Zero Blind Spots with Versa’s Complete Branch Security that Protects Guest Wi-Fi and Beyond
Branches are surging back in prominence as hubs for users, applications, and a rapidly expanding IoT ecosystem. In this new branch paradigm, Guest Wi-Fi is no longer a convenience. It’s a non-negotiable requirement across retail, healthcare, hospitality, financial services, and much more. Unfortunately, this shift introduces a new mix of unpredictable user behavior, diverse applications, and thousands of devices to the branch infrastructure. This dramatically increases bandwidth demands and expands the attack surface where guest devices can bring malicious files, launch DNS-based threats, enable data exfiltration, or open compliance and privacy gaps. Industry research shows 70% of performance degradation and…
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.
NSS Labs Test Results: Versa Is Firewall Performance Leader and One of Only Three Recommended
In case you missed it, CyberRatings.org – affiliated with NSS Labs, which is their testing arm – published their independent test report on Wednesday comparing seven of the leading enterprise firewalls in the market across 55 different security and performance use cases.
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.

How to secure IoT and OT environments with Versa’s Next-Gen Firewall — offering Zero Trust access, device fingerprinting, micro-segmentation, and threat prevention.
How Versa Secures Unstructured Data Against AI-Driven Risk
The proliferation of AI and machine learning workloads has accelerated the generation and utilization of unstructured data—including emails, source code, collaboration files, logs, recordings, and internal documentation. Unlike structured data, which resides in databases, unstructured data spreads across cloud drives, SaaS applications, endpoints, and unmanaged collaboration tools.
