Let's explore the hidden benefits of Next Generation Firewall Service. Also, learn how Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) is different from traditional firewall. Continue reading about Next Generation Firewall Service - https://www.safeaeon.com/firewall/
2. What is Next Generation Firewall?
✔Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW)
can be described as the firewall
which adds protective layers.
✔NGFW is an upgrade to the
traditional firewall
✔Crucially, they go beyond the static
inspection that traditional firewalls
are limited to, instead having
application-level control.
3. Benefit #1: Gain User Identification
✔NGFWs can link IP addresses to
specific user identities, enabling
visibility and control of network
activity on a per-user basis.
✔This gains visibility into who
specifically is responsible for all
application, content, and threat
traffic on the network
4. Benefit #2: Multi-Layered Protection
✔A traditional firewall can block access
through ports (single layer protection),
which proves insignificant in the
complex and evolving landscape of data
architecture.
✔Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) offers
multi-layered protection by inspecting
traffic from layer 2 to layer 7 and at the
same time understanding the exact
nature of data transfer.
5. Benefit #3: Content Identification
✔Next-Generation Firewall
(NGFW) NGFWs can scan
content to prevent data leakage
and stop threats with detailed,
real-time traffic inspection.
✔This content identification
includes Threat prevention, URL
filtering and file and data
filtering.
6. Benefit #4: NGFWs are Multi Functional
Functionalities of Traditional firewalls Functionalities of Next Generation Firewall
Traditional firewalls provide basic packet
filtering, network and port address translations,
stateful inspections, and can even support virtual
private networks.
However, they are only limited to the Data Link
Layer and Transport Layer of the OSI model.
In addition to all the functionalities of traditional firewalls,
next-generation firewalls also include integrated intrusion
detection systems (IDS) and intrusion protection systems
(IPS) that detect attacks based on traffic behavioral analysis,
threat signatures or anomalous activity.
This functionality helps perform deeper inspection and
improve packet-content filtering of network traffic up to the
application layer.
7. Benefit #5: Application Awareness
In Traditional firewalls In Next Generation Firewall
Traditional firewalls typically block common
application ports or services on a network to
control application access and monitor specific
threats.
However, with network connectivity becoming
more complex, several applications use multiple
or various ports, making it extremely difficult for
traditional firewalls to identify the targeted port.
Next-generation firewall devices monitor traffic from layer 2
through layer 7 and are intelligent enough to determine
what exactly is being sent or received. If the content is within
policy, it is sent further or else it's blocked.
Application awareness also enables companies to set policies
depending on the user and the application. For instance,
allowing users to access Facebook, but blocking Facebook
Chats.
