The idea of outsourcing perimeter security to a Firewall as a Service (FWaaS) provider, as mentioned in the article, resonates with my experience in managing complex network infrastructures. By leveraging a cloud-based FWaaS, businesses can indeed reduce the administrative burden and benefit from economies of scale, as the article highlights the ability to "scale up or down to match changing business needs." I've seen this approach work well in practice, particularly when combined with a robust SD-WAN solution, which can further enhance network visibility and control. One aspect I'd like to explore further is how FWaaS providers handle zero-day threats and advanced persistent threats - do you think the use of AI-powered threat detection can be a key differentiator in this space?
