The impact of the cloud-delivered firewall on my company's security posture is significant. Having the same FTD running in the cloud, managed by FMC, is our future direction. We currently implement this with Azure.

The impact of the cloud-delivered Cisco Secure Firewall on my company's security posture involves some hesitation because it's on the cloud, but we're slowly adopting certain parts of it for our cybersecurity team. We're undergoing that transition and don't have full visibility yet on how they see that as a future mode of operations versus what other companies are doing globally.

Unfortunately, the impact of the cloud-delivered firewall on our company's security posture is negligible since we are an air-gapped system, and we do not deal with the cloud infrastructure.

The impact of the cloud-delivered firewall on my organization's security posture is very important. It allows us to place certain policies compared to the old infrastructure that is currently in there, with outdated hardware. It allows us to control the firmware and deploy the firmware.

The impact of the cloud-delivered firewall on my company's security posture is tricky. For compliance, we are not supposed to have anything cloud-based, so it must be on-prem. We're a big company and we can use it in some other parts of the network, just not for my team.

The impact of a cloud-delivered firewall on my organization's security posture depends on the environments I manage, which are primarily disconnected and focused more on industrial security rather than the cloud.

I use cloud-delivered firewall in parts of our business because we have multiple locations distributed across Egypt and Germany. I needed to use a firewall in the cloud to publish security policies remotely and manage separate locations with the same vendor like Cisco.

Cloud-delivered firewall provides much better flexibility for an organization via Cisco Secure Firewall. First, you can ensure that any users coming from outside securely access any workload that the organization may be running either in a private cloud or public cloud on a hyperscaler. Second, it provides what is called local internet breakout, where any services not supposed to go through the firewall can do a local internet breakout. With Firewall as a Service, you can consume capacity as you grow, rather than trying to put one firewall for your peak load. This gives tremendous flexibility similar to the flexibility that exists in cloud consumption.

Regarding the impact of the cloud-delivered firewall on my customer's security posture, considering the firewall's deployment in production is crucial. When someone deploys the firewall, they will apply some intelligence and follow best practices to deploy the solutions. But after, the person managing the firewall is sometimes adding rules based on urgency, allowing certain rules that might permit any-any traffic. To mitigate some issues, they forget to disable this rule later. This rule shouldn't remain active in the firewall.
