Cisco has launched its N9300 Smart Switches at Cisco Live in Amsterdam, which integrate advanced security features such as Cisco Hypershield. This new technology redefines traditional firewalls by incorporating micro-segmentation capabilities into the switching fabric, allowing for enhanced performance and higher throughput rates. The N9300 switches utilize data processing units (DPUs) to run services directly, ensuring unprecedented levels of network protection. Tom Gillis from Cisco emphasized this innovation transforms the concept of firewalls from static edge devices to dynamic micro-perimeters surrounding application services, enhancing security in modern data centers.
'A firewall used to live in a box at the edge of the network. So with Cisco Hypershield we've taken that concept and broken it into a million little pieces.'
