However‚ traditional methods like virtual LANs (VLANs)‚ switch access control lists (ACLs)‚ and port-and protocol-based firewalls do not provide the application visibility and user access controls to effectively secure a network segment. Organizations require a network security platform capable of creating relevant network security policies by application‚ user‚ and content
