This document discusses how networking and security are converging in stores and branches. It notes that digital transformation is driving changes like workloads moving to the cloud and more interactive SaaS apps. This is creating a need for greater integration between networking and security. Direct-to-cloud connectivity requires stronger security at branch offices. The combination of connectivity and security can help replace MPLS networks and provide benefits like agility, faster apps, and security while reducing complexity and costs. Integration between networking and security solutions can further reduce the total cost of ownership.

In short, they need to offer the same levels of security efficacy as the primary gateway does. Source: Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Network Firewalls 2017
