"Survey Uncovers High Level of Concern Over Firewalls"

Ponemon Institute conducted a survey to which 603 US cybersecurity professionals responded. The survey asked them to share their thoughts on the effectiveness of firewalls in protecting against ransomware attacks and other security threats. More than half of the cybersecurity leaders who participated in the survey do not think most firewall technologies are effective in protecting their applications and systems from attacks. According to most of the security leaders, firewall technologies do little to help enable a zero-trust environment, require too much time for configuration, lack the necessary capabilities to block attacks, kill flexibility, and more. This article continues to discuss cybersecurity leaders' concerns and complaints surrounding firewall technologies.
