It may seem unbelievable, but we’re already about halfway through 2016. And that means that we’re about 6 months removed from the abundance of tech trends reports and predictions for this year and beyond.
It’s almost impossible to keep pace with the rapid advancement of technologies such as firewalls, SDN and the cloud, but staying on top of emerging trends can help you ensure your network architecture doesn’t fall behind.
Let’s take a look into the crystal ball and see what industry pundits think we can look forward to with firewalls, SDN and cloud technology.
The cyber security industry seems to change daily, but one thing remains the same—attackers are becoming increasingly capable of breaching companies of all sizes. Firewalls have changed a lot since the days of live-wire connectivity, and here’s how they’ll adapt to today’s threat landscape:
These are just a few predictions for the immediate future of firewall technology, However, InformationWeek sums up the ultimate future of firewalls by stressing the importance of real-time anti-malware scanning without hindering network performance.
Every year, Dan Pitt, the Executive Director of the Open Networking Foundation, shares his predictions for the future of SDN. Even though there are many challenges to actually achieving the promise of SDN, these are the trends that Pitt highlighted for 2016:
The future of SDN may seem murky as the industry tries to actualize the long-standing hype, but Pitt seems to think that 2016 will start to see actual SDN connectivity in a practical setting.
Cloud technology has reached maturity in the business world—but that doesn’t mean it’s not constantly changing. According to Bernard Golden at CIO, these are a few cloud trends that will come to fruition throughout the year:
While industry pundits discuss the features and functionality of firewalls, SDN innovation and cloud technology, there is an underlying theme that relates to all three—the need for guaranteed connectivity.
If your firewall can’t see every bit, byte and packet®, or your SDN production application is wreaking havoc on network performance, or you can’t scale your cloud infrastructure effectively, you have a bigger problem than keeping up with trends. As these predictions become reality, network TAPs will prove to be even more essential for network connectivity.
