Everything you need to know about Firewall-as-a-Subscription
CapEx challenges vs. OpEx advantages
Traditional firewall purchases can create financial and operational barriers that delay modernization and make future capacity difficult to plan.
High Upfront Costs
Large hardware costs delay firewall
refreshes. Switch to predictable
monthly or annual payments.
Oversizing and Vendor Lock-In
Customers overpay for capacity they won’t use for years, and switching vendors is costly. Pay for today’s needs, migration included.
Outgrowing Hardware
Traffic can outgrow your firewall.
Start with today’s throughput and
upgrade your subscription as you
