The Problem Strata Cloud Manager Solves

Modern organizations are struggling with fragmented network security that creates dangerous blind spots and operational nightmares. Here’s what’s happening:

The Visibility Crisis: Companies can’t see what’s happening across their entire network because they’re using disconnected security tools that don’t talk to each other. It’s like trying to monitor a building with security cameras that all record to different systems – when something goes wrong, you’re scrambling to piece together what actually happened.

Management Chaos: IT teams are drowning in complexity, managing multiple security platforms that each require different skills, separate configurations, and constant maintenance. This leads to:

  • Inconsistent security policies across the organization
  • Higher costs from redundant tools and training
  • Increased human error and misconfigurations
  • Security gaps that attackers can exploit

Reactive Instead of Proactive: Most organizations are playing defense – they only find out about problems after they’ve already caused damage. Without predictive insights, they can’t prevent breaches or operational disruptions before they happen.

Strata Cloud Manager Components

Strata Cloud Manager consolidates what used to be separate tools (AIOps for NGFW, ADEM, and Cloud Manager) into a single, unified platform that works across all network security enforcement points.

It addresses the core problems through five key capability areas:

  1. Visibility – Unified view across all security tools and network segments
  2. Management – Centralized control and configuration of security policies
  3. Security – Comprehensive threat protection and policy enforcement
  4. Operational Health – Proactive monitoring and issue prevention
  5. Instant Insights by Strata Copilot – AI-powered analytics and recommendations

The goal is to transform security from a reactive, fragmented approach into a proactive, unified defense system that actually works together as intended.
