The unification of firewall security and management is accomplished with hybrid mesh firewalls (HMF). This approach offers significant value by combining the benefits of multiple firewall architectures. Unify Firewall Management and Enforcement Unified management streamlines administration and provides enhanced security, enabling centralized control and monitoring across the entire network. Further, it optimizes security policies, simplifies deployment, improves scalability, and enhances threat visibility—ultimately bolstering network protection while reducing complexity and operational overhead.
