Next Generation Firewalls
Next Generation Firewalls
Next generation firewalls are more advanced versions of the traditional firewall. Next generation firewall builds upon traditional firewall features by including critical security functions like intrusion prevention, VPN, anti-virus and even encrypted web traffic inspection to help prevent packets containing malicious content from entering the network.
The most fundamental difference between the next generation and traditional firewall is the next generation firewall is able to filter packets based on applications.
Firewall Security
Before the next generation firewall, we had no visibility about what attack was happening, now it provides unprecedented network visibility with full contextual awareness into users, mobile devices, client-side applications, operating systems, virtual machine-to-machine communications, vulnerabilities, threats, and URLs to let in trusted users and keep the trespassers and unwanted guests out of networks.
The next-generation firewall as an adaptive, threat-focused platform, delivering superior, multi-layered protection, unparalleled visibility, and reduced security costs and complexity.
