The never ending cycle of threat innovation Driving the need to secure the network using multiple technologies From Packet Filtering Routers in 1990 to Application Based Firewalls today Driving sophistication of compliance requirements
Increasingly difficult to: Protect brand and reputation of the business Preserve the integrity of corporate assets Time-to-Compliance
Keeping pace with the threat economy

Maximizing IT Investments Ensure all capital employed is adaptable to change Ensure a platform can provide a solid rate of return without fork lifts Reducing cost of management network changes Reduce troubleshooting time
Increasingly difficult to: Ensuring “revised” capital IT budgets can meet business objectives, now and in
the future Maintaining focus on the long-term
Invest for Future Growth
Doing “more with less”

Continuing Divergence of Data Sheet from Reality Rapidly increasing bandwidth demands on security processing New services using smaller packets and “chatty” protocols Deeper scanning services need to be enabled to maintain same level of security
Increasingly difficult to: Understand data sheet performance from reality Architect and plan for 3 years or more Depreciate equipment over 24-36 months Maintain business critical SLA
Real-World Performance
Maintain pace with bandwidth growth

Meeting business demands with a rising energy commodity Major % of IT budget going to electricity bill Limit to the power & cooling capacity of the data center Pressure to reduce carbon footprint of the business
Increasingly difficult to: Add performance without adding incremental equipment and impacting
power and cooling envelope
Lowering Energy Consumption
Lowering our Energy Usage

How do we solve these problems?
Complexity on top of complexity Security changes/upgrades require network changes/upgrades Single vendor products require sacrificing “best of breed” Expensive and difficult to deploy, operate and scale
