NGFW interpretation of next Generation Firewall

Six functions of next Generation Firewall NGFW

The next generation firewall requires security manufacturers to constantly pay attention to the changes of IT environment and customer requirements, continuous focus on technology accumulation and innovation, and product results based on accumulated strength. The next-generation firewall should actually achieve the following six functions: based on user protection, application-oriented security, efficient forwarding platform, multi-level redundancy architecture, omni-directional visualization, and security technology fusion to solve the problems of the next-generation firewall, although the next-generation firewall is in the ascendant, but still can not deny the advanced nature of its technology. Especially in its in-depth analytical processing of network applications and application threats, it has a very broad development prospect. Therefore, we hope that after a period of development, the next generation firewall technology can really flourish and provide more comprehensive network security services for network users. A survey of firewall defense Skybox proves that many enterprises are struggling to manage defense signatures on next-generation firewalls. 86% of companies plan to use IPS modules on their firewalls; 65% of them are in online defense mode. Managing the IPS signatures of these modules is not easy. Only 54% of companies are automatically updated by suppliers. 2/3 of companies are trying to manage these signatures manually. Next-generation firewall NGFW interpretation: you know and you do not know the next-generation firewall, abbreviated as NGFW, it is various firewall manufacturers and consulting companies such as Gartner often talk about a popular term, mainly in order to distinguish from the traditional port-based firewall, the next-generation firewall will include more security defense and identity-based application control capabilities.
