With the increase of modern threats such as malware, Trojans, computer viruses, targeted attacks, application-layer attacks and much more, companies’ network infrastructure – with multiple separate devices and software which safeguard their network – are getting more complex, difficult to manage, and less effective in terms of performance and budget. In order to reduce complexity and latency, while increasing security on a network’s infrastructure, Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) appliances have become more and more favorable.
Next Generation Firewalls (NGFW) are combinations of a standard firewall with multi-quality service functionalities. It provides smarter and deeper network security by analyzing and inspecting the information. At the same it simplifies and automates many of the day-to-day tasks associated with maintaining and managing the end-to-end network infrastructure from a single point.
Next Generation Firewalls (NGFW) also give network administrators the capabilities to see a full picture of what is happening on their network, and to be able to perform capacity planning, troubleshoot problems or even monitor what individual users are doing on the network throughout the day from a single pane of glass. These help the network management team regain control over the chaos of web traffic in today’s world.
Today, a company might be at risk of fines, penalties or even a loss of their business license if they are not compliant with security mandates and regulations. Moreover, in order to prioritize critical business solutions and applications, companies are now contending with employee use of wasteful and often vulnerable web-based applications. For these reasons, Next Generation Firewalls (NGFW) are considered by a majority of trusted San Diego IT consulting professionals.
