Explanation

A CN-Series firewall is a container-native firewall designed to provide security inside Kubernetes environments. It is used in addition to a VM-Series firewall, which primarily protects cloud and virtualized workloads. The main security benefit of CN-Series is that it prevents lateral movement of threats within the container itself by enforcing: Microsegmentation within Kubernetes clusters Deep packet inspection for inter-container communication Zero Trust enforcement inside containerized applications Why Preventing Lateral Threat Movement is the Correct Answer? Containers are highly dynamic, and traditional firewalls cannot inspect intra-container traffic. The CN-Series firewall enforces microsegmentation, blocking unauthorized communication between compromised containers. Prevents malware or attackers from spreading within the Kubernetes environment.
