Next-Gen Firewall (NGFW)

Category: infrastructure

An advanced network security device combining traditional packet filtering with deep packet inspection capabilities.

Unlike legacy firewalls that only inspect basic port and IP combinations, an NGFW continuously opens data payloads to verify protocol safety. It maps application footprints, runs integrated intrusion prevention algorithms, and blocks encrypted threats at the gateway layer.

Common Examples

• Our network topology routes all incoming remote business traffic through an enterprise NGFW to filter out nested script payloads.
• The NGFW configuration automatically isolates connection requests originating from unverified regional public data center zones.
