Exactly. Security at the endpoint level, rather than the firewall level, means that those that build those applications are in charge of security. There is no way my multi-business-unit company is going to solely trust developers with its security and compliance story. It's going to hire people whose job it is to secure the network as well. Given that these people don't even know all of the developers (or yet even their managers) inside this multi-business business, the only good thing those people have is firewalls and traffic inspection at large.


You're still going to have a firewall, it just won't be NAT based.


NAT isn't even a firewall in the first place. The firewall you need for v6? You've already got it in v4, if you've secured your v4 network.

...which a lot of people haven't, because they falsely believe that NAT by itself is enough to stop all inbound connections to their network.
