Why a Network-based Security Solution is Better than Using Point Solutions Architectures
In particular, network-based security offers enhanced protection against the growing number of unknown threats that are hard to block when using customer premises equipment (CPE) point solutions.

Many threats today rely on newly discovered vulnerabilities or exploits
CPE-based solutions alone often are strained when dealing with today’s threat environment
Network-based security offers threat intelligence to complement CPE solutions
As security requirements and cyber threats keep evolving, network-based security that relies on monitoring command and control servers, suspect sites and IP addresses, and Netflow sessions, as well as looking for unusual activity, brings many benefits.
In particular, network-based security offers enhanced protection against the growing number of unknown threats that are hard to block when using customer premises equipment (CPE) point solutions. Such solutions have the added disadvantage of being labor-intensive to manage, thus adding to operational costs.
