As networks expand beyond traditional perimeters, firewall sprawl has introduced complexity, visibility gaps, and increased security risks. With the rise of cloud services, remote work, and distributed environments, organizations now manage multiple access points that can lead to misconfigurations, policy drift, and enforcement inconsistencies. This fragmented approach makes it harder to detect threats, especially in encrypted traffic, and increases exposure to remote access abuse and unmanaged devices. To address these challenges, businesses must bridge the gap between intended policies and actual implementation, improve visibility, and adopt advanced monitoring solutions like AI-driven network detection to ensure stronger, more consistent security across the entire environment.
