For decades, the firewall has been the digital gatekeeper of your network's perimeter, dutifully inspecting traffic based on ports and protocols. But the very nature of internet traffic has fundamentally changed. According to recent industry analysis, Gartner predicts that by the end of 2025, over 95% of all web traffic will be encrypted (SSL/TLS) .
