As organizations increasingly adopt public cloud, hybrid cloud, and virtualized infrastructure, traditional perimeter-based security approaches are no longer sufficient. Applications and workloads are distributed across multiple environments, creating new challenges around network visibility, segmentation, threat prevention, and consistent security enforcement.

This session explores how virtual next-generation firewalls can extend enterprise-grade network security beyond traditional data centers and into modern cloud environments.

We will examine the security challenges associated with protecting workloads across Microsoft Azure, AWS, VMware, and hyperconverged infrastructure. Through practical architecture examples and deployment scenarios, we will explore how virtual firewalls enable network segmentation, intrusion prevention, secure connectivity, traffic inspection, and consistent security policies across distributed environments.

Attendees will also learn about common cloud network security design mistakes, deployment considerations, high-availability architectures, and strategies for building scalable security architectures without compromising performance or operational flexibility.

The session will provide practical insights into designing and deploying secure cloud network architectures for modern enterprise workloads.
