It\u2019s not about buying every new gadget or software; it\u2019s about <\/span><b>integrating the right tools, processes, and protections<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> so they work together for long-term resilience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why Firewalls Alone Aren\u2019t Enough<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Firewalls are the first line of defense, but <\/span><b>today\u2019s cyber threats are too sophisticated to be stopped by one barrier<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
