Recent updates, particularly with the release of Zenarmor 1.17 and the integration of new advanced capabilities like full TLS inspection, have sparked discussions among our partners and users regarding Zenarmor's commitment to supporting open-source firewalls and its evolution within the network security landscape. This blog post aims to dispel any confusion about our product roadmap, reaffirm our commitment to delivering top-tier security solutions, and address any concerns our loyal community may have.

Expanding Platform Support

A significant point of discussion has been the adaptability of Zenarmor across various platforms. The inquiry specifically questioned whether Zenarmor’s Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solutions could extend beyond OPNsense to several platforms.

Rest assured, our expansion into new capabilities does not mean leaving our foundational users behind. We continue to support and update our solutions for open-source firewalls, ensuring that your trusted setups remain robust against emerging threats.

Innovation Can’t Stand Still

At Zenarmor, we are proud of our origins as a Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) plugin for open-source firewalls and deeply understand the importance of continuing to support these platforms. However, in response to the rapidly evolving threat landscape, we recognize that innovation cannot stand still. Constant innovation is in our DNA, it's essential for staying ahead of threats and ensuring our users' networks are secure and efficient. Therefore, we are expanding our capabilities to provide our advanced security features instantly on any device with network connectivity.

We are committed to "Plug & Secure" solutions that extend our reach beyond traditional boundaries. With the recent launch of Zenarmor 1.17 and the integration of new advanced features like Full TLS Inspection, we're not just maintaining our standards—we're elevating them. Our mission goes beyond being an NGFW plugin; we aspire to deliver these cutting-edge security solutions on any device with network connectivity. This commitment to innovation is underscored by our focus on enhancing security features that empower organizations to stay ahead in a complex digital landscape.

Looking Forward

The discussion further emphasizes how Zenarmor is enhancing its security offerings to include full visibility and granular access controls, alongside Layer 7 inspection capabilities within a Zero Trust Network. These comprehensive security measures are crucial for organizations navigating the intricate threats in today’s digital environment. By implementing these robust features, Zenarmor will provide detailed insights and control over both public and private network activities without compromising performance.

The enthusiasm from our partners and long time users is a strong indicator of the potential market demand for Zenarmor’s expanded capabilities. As Zenarmor continues to innovate, our core mission remains unchanged: to deliver powerful, flexible, and immediate security solutions that provide for the evolving needs of modern networks. We are excited about the future and invite our community to stay tuned as we roll out these groundbreaking features.

We understand the importance of clear and open communication with our community and appreciate our users who interact with us which helps shape our path forward. We value your feedback as we navigate this path of innovation. Please share your thoughts and let us know how these changes can better serve your security needs.
