What is Next-Generation Firewall?
A Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) is a network security device that provides advanced features beyond traditional firewalls. These include deep-packet inspection, intrusion prevention, application awareness, and often cloud-delivered threat intelligence. NGFWs are commonly used to identify and control applications, prevent intrusions, and block malware, offering more granular control and visibility over network traffic than stateful inspection firewalls.
