Next Generation Firewalls
Improve Their Security Posture
Next Generation Firewalls
Next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) are a type of firewall that offers more advanced security features than traditional firewalls. NGFWs can inspect traffic at the application layer, which allows them to detect and block a wider range of threats. They can also prevent known and unknown threats by analyzing traffic for malicious patterns. In addition, NGFWs can use threat intelligence to identify and block threats that are not yet known. NGFWs are becoming increasingly important as the threat landscape continues to evolve. With more and more sophisticated attacks being launched, organizations need to have the most advanced security solutions available. NGFWs can help organizations to protect themselves from these attacks and keep their data safe.
faced by organizations which are causing struggles are as follows
Management Challenges
- Licensing complexity: Difficulty in managing and tracking firewall licenses.
- Complex firewall management: Managing multiple features and settings
- Performance impact: Firewalls can slow networks with security enabled.
Technical Challenges
- Lack of AI and ML capabilities: Less effective threat detection and blocking.
- Bottleneck for internet speeds: Slows modern-day internet speeds.
- Insufficient visibility: Traditional firewalls lack analytic features.
Compliance Challenges
- Ineffective against evolving malware: Struggle to defend modern malware attacks.
- Encrypted threats defenselessness: Unable to inspect encrypted traffic.
- Limited threat detection: Cant keep up with evolving threats.
Business Risks
- Reduced network performance: Slower networks impact productivity.
- Increased vulnerability to threats: Ineffective firewall exposes cyber risks.
- Compliance gaps: Inadequate threat detection may breach compliance.
