Aviatrix President and CEO Steve Mullaney said the formal launch Thursday of the company’s Distributed Cloud Firewall marks the beginning of the end for literally billions of traditional network firewalls.

“I say that May 18 is the day the bullet left the chamber,” says Mullaney. “The one you are targeting may not die right away. But pay attention. We are going to look back on the launch of this and say this was the day that cloud network security was fixed.”
