| Next-Generation Firewalls in the Real World There has been a tremendous amount of discussion about application control and next-generation firewalls in the market over the last year. Many traditional network security vendors have put together extensive marketing stories about application control—but the reality is very different, something that we covered in the previous 60 Minutes (with Nir Zuk), The Future of the Perimeter and Choosing an Enterprise Firewall for 2011 and Beyond. With this edition of 60 Minutes, we're going to take a closer look at reality—focusing on the real-world impact next-generation firewalls have had in actual enterprises. After nearly 4 years of selling next-generation firewalls, we have thousands of organizations with production deployments that can share their experiences. So Nir and team hit the road to find out how customers use next-generation firewalls, what they learned in their experience, and how their organizations benefitted. Join Nir Zuk and Mark Bouchard of AimPoint Group as they share candid interviews with customer about lessons learned, benefits gained, and advice they have for their peers in the industry. As usual, you should expect a lively event as Nir and Mark debate the impacts and implications of these customer experiences, and incorporate your questions and comments over the course of the conversation.
