Firewall therapy: Breaking up with an old approach to firewalls

Live Webinar (March 13, 2025, 8:00 AM Pacific)
With Jon Taylor, Director and Principal of Security & Kevin Sheu, VP Product Marketing

Firewalls have been a staple of network security for decades, but let’s be real—many organizations are stuck in a relationship with outdated technology that isn’t keeping up. Traditional firewalls weren’t built for today’s cloud-first, AI-driven, and zero-trust world, and even some “modern” solutions lack the flexibility, performance, and intelligence needed to secure evolving networks. So, how do you know when it’s time to move on?

Join us for Firewall Therapy—an open, unscripted fireside chat where industry experts dive into the realities of legacy firewalls, the gaps they create, and what modern security demands. We’ll explore why traditional firewalls fall short in areas like deep application visibility, intrusion prevention, and integrated security intelligence. You’ll also learn how Versa’s NGFW delivers top-rated performance, the highest security effectiveness, and the lowest cost per protected Mbps, without the complexity, forced hardware refreshes, or unexpected price hikes that come with other solutions.

What You Will Learn:

• The real reason legacy firewalls struggle with modern security challenges
• Why many firewalls labeled as “next-gen” still fail to meet today’s security needs
• The must-have capabilities of a modern firewall—and what’s just marketing hype
• How Versa’s high-performance NGFW integrates seamlessly with SD-WAN and SASE for simplified, centralized security
• How to evaluate whether your firewall is working for or against you 

No slides. No sales pitches. Just an honest conversation about where firewalls have been, where they’re going, and how to make sure yours is keeping up.

Join us for a discussion that might just change how you think about network security.
