What Is a Hybrid Mesh Firewall and Why It Matters (Palo Alto Networks)
A Hybrid Mesh Firewall (HMF) unifies every type of firewall deployment – hardware, virtual, cloud-native, containerized, firewall as a service (FWaaS) – under a single, cloud-delivered management plane. It gives organizations the simplicity of consistency and visibility that they need to secure every part of their network, while reducing the cost and complexity of running siloed solutions.

A CISO’s guide to post-quantum readiness: How to build crypto agility now (CyberArk)
Hybrid post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is widely recommended as a transitional strategy to safeguard data against both classical and quantum threats. The core idea is to combine well-established classical algorithms, like RSA or ECDH, with newer PQC algorithms in a single cryptographic operation.
