A Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) strategy can include:
Intrusion Prevention
An IPS (intrusion prevention system) can identify and block malicious traffic.
Threat intelligence
NGFWs can use threat intelligence data to detect and prevent unknown cyber threats.
Network visibility
NGFWs can provide visibility into every application, server, file transfer, communication, and data storage in a network.
Stateful inspection
NGFWs can track Layers 2-7 of traffic, allowing them to perform the same stateful inspection duties as a traditional firewall.
Application control
NGFWs can monitor which applications and users are bringing traffic to the network.
URL filtering
NGFWs can block known and unknown threats using URL filtering capabilities.
Dynamic segmentation
Dynamic segmentation can simplify and secure a network by enforcing role-based access control.
NGFWs combine multiple security technologies on a single platform. They can provide a robust way to prevent breaches through fine-grained policy management and built-in malware protection.
