1. 2-Intro to Firewall Concepts
• Traditional Firewall (Stateless)
• Unified Threat Management (UTM)
• Next Generation Firewall (NGFW)
• UTM vs. NGFW
• Internal Segmentation Firewall ( ISFW )
2. Traditional Firewall (Stateless) = Packet Filter Firewall
A traditional firewall filters traffic based on mainly the following parameters :
• Source IP address and destination IP address of the network packets.
• Source port and destination port of the inbound and outbound traffic.
• Current stage of connection.
• Filtering rules based on per process basis.
• Protocols used.
• Routing features.
3. Traditional Firewall (F.W)
Other common features of a traditional firewall include support
• Routing
• Network Address Translation (NAT)
• Port Address Translation (PAT)
• Virtual Private Network (VPN)
7. Classify traffic based on applications, not ports.
Traditional firewalls can filter traffic based on port,
but that may prove to be inconvenient at times.
Layers 2 & 3 & 4
UTM can associate traffic based on application,
which enables it to block or monitor network traffic
per application and troubleshoot problems based on that.
