what are the primary advantages of shifting from on-premises security hardware to a cloud-based model in terms of scalability and global policy consistency?

Hi @craig42son ,
Welcome to the community!
The big win with moving to the cloud is that scaling happens automatically—you don't have to keep buying bigger boxes when traffic spikes. Plus, pushing a policy update happens everywhere at once through a single dashboard, instead of trying to sync up dozens of individual firewalls at different offices.
Are you looking to move off physical hardware completely, or just testing out a hybrid setup? If you can share a bit about what you're working with, we can point you in the right direction!
