Computer networks, including the Internet, play critical roles in business and communications. Without them, it would be impossible for companies to engage in e-commerce and the vast majority of business systems would come to a complete standstill. Therefore, by enabling real-time relationships between many parties, networks in many ways become synonymous with the individuals and businesses they connect. Networks provide speed, connectivity, and ultimately value to their members and provide solutions to business challenges and problems that otherwise would not be possible.

Over time, businesses make large investments in computer systems used to manage different functions, such as accounting, human resources, customer service, purchasing, inventory management, and so on. These hefty investments make it difficult to totally replace old systems with new ones. Beyond the purely financial costs involved, doing so often requires retraining thousands of employees and making changes to long-established systems and processes. Therefore, it is common to find patchworks of older legacy systems connected together within large companies.

What are Network Firewalls?

Gartner defines the network firewall market as the market for firewalls that use bidirectional stateful traffic inspection (for both egress and ingress) to secure networks. Network firewalls are enforced through hardware, virtual appliances and cloud-native controls. Network firewalls are used to secure networks. These can be on-premises, hybrid (on-premises and cloud), public cloud or private cloud networks. Network firewall products support different deployment use cases, such as for perimeters, midsize enterprises, data centers, clouds, cloud-native and distributed offices.
