Accelerating Enterprise Cybersecurity with Software-defined DPU Firewall - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

To keep up with the explosion of data, data centers are deploying high-speed networks from 25G to 100G. While network speed has been increasing, security functions such as next-generation firewalls (NGFW) need to keep up with higher traffic loads. Software-defined NGFW offers the flexibility and agility to build modern data centers; however, scaling them for performance, efficiency, and economics has been a challenge. The need for a software-defined, hardware accelerated NGFW is more pressing than ever. NVIDIA and Palo Alto Networks have developed a DPU-accelerated NGFW solution for the enterprise and cloud-scale data centers. In this session, they'll jointly present the PAN VM-Series NGFW solution and discuss availability and customer trials. We'll show a live demonstration of PAN NGFW utilizing BlueField-2 DPU’s rich set of network offloads to improve performance by up to 5x while addressing the security needs of data centers and enterprise deployments.
