Fast Forward Your Firewall Business

It's no secret that our customer's security needs are continuing to evolve and change as organizations transition to the cloud - whether it's to support sustained hybrid work posture or adopt strategies like Zero Trust or Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) - customers need end-to-end security that simplifies the experience, reduces complexity, and integrates with their existing security investments.

A foundational element to much of these initiatives is having strong firewalling capabilities to bring better visibility, unified policy control, and threat prevention. It's a good thing the Cisco Secure Firewall team is continuing to bring new innovations to market that help customers get real-time, unified, application workload and network security protection, helping our customers increase productivity across teams. For example, with our latest 7.0 release customers gain 30% fasterthroughput and our recently launched Cisco Secure Managed Remote Access allows customers to accelerate time to value by offloading VPN management to Cisco. . Talk about leveraging the firewall to help press the fast forward button on achieving a customer's desired business outcomes. Also did you hear that Frost & Sullivan just named Cisco as the sole recipient of the 2021 Firewall Best Practices Market Leadership Award? This award recognizes that Cisco achieved the greatest market share in the global firewall market due to outstanding performance, products, and service.
