| Protecting Traffic in the Datacenter A critical part of any data center security strategy is to employ next-generation physical and virtual firewalls working in concert to monitor and analyze all network traffic within the data center. Firewall appliances monitor traffic attempting to cross the data center's network perimeter, while virtual firewalls examine traffic going to or from the data center's virtual servers. Such an approach provides a robust security solution for cloud environments, where threats can potentially come from others using the same physical server for virtual services.
IT leaders can address the threats within their data centers by strategically using firewall appliances and virtual firewalls from vendors, such as Palo Alto Networks Learn More |
