NGFW Next-Generation Firewall Solutions

Protect your network edge, data center, and cloud applications with next-generation physical, virtual, and containerized firewalls.

Introduction

The Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) has evolved to become the ideal solution for visibility, control, and prevention at the network edge. Threat protection begins with complete visibility into who and what is traversing the network. Combined with behavior detection, Nomios delivers the most effective NGFW in the industry, reliably safeguarding users, applications, and devices.

Protection from Threats

Enterprises continue to face increasingly sophisticated cyber-attacks which threaten business continuity. Enterprise boundaries have been extended to cover multiple sites, on-premise data centers, and private, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments. New security and privacy regulations are emerging and becoming more robust, making compliance challenging.

Many organizations have implemented multiple cybersecurity defense layers to protect their premises, users, data, networks, and applications. Firewalls are often used as the first line of defense. According to Gartner, 99% of firewall breaches are caused by misconfigurations.

Next-Generation Firewall Features

NGFWs combine many capabilities of traditional firewalls with advanced features. These include:

  • Packet filtering, NAT, and PAT
  • URL blocking
  • VPNs
  • Intrusion prevention
  • SSL and SSH inspection
  • Deep-packet inspection
  • Reputation-based malware detection

These application-specific capabilities aim to thwart the growing number of application attacks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Next-Generation Firewall?

A traditional firewall provides stateful inspection of network traffic. An NGFW includes:

  • Standard firewall capabilities
  • Integrated intrusion prevention
  • Application awareness and control
  • Threat intelligence sources

What Should I Look for in an NGFW?

Ensure your NGFW delivers:

  1. Breach prevention and advanced security
  2. Comprehensive network visibility
  3. Flexible management and deployment options
  4. Fastest time to detection
  5. Automation and product integrations

What are the Advantages of Having an NGFW?

  • A many-in-one solution that reduces the need for multiple software and hardware securities.
  • Cost-effectiveness through single solution maintenance.
  • Enhanced protection compared to traditional firewalls.

What Features Distinguish an NGFW from Traditional Firewalls?

NGFWs examine traffic across packets and establish activity baselines to spot anomalies, employing techniques like user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA).

Packet Filtering vs. Deep Packet Inspection (DPI)

  • Packet Filtering: Inspects source and destination IPs, ports, and protocols.
  • Deep Packet Inspection: Examines packet headers and bodies for threats and anomalies.

What is Application Awareness and Control?

NGFWs analyze traffic at the application layer to block risky applications.

What is Intrusion Prevention?

Intrusion prevention systems (IPS) analyze traffic for threats, employing various detection methods.

What is Threat Intelligence?

Information about potential attacks that keeps IPS signature detection effective.

Are Next-Gen Firewalls Hardware-Based or Software-Based?

NGFWs can be hardware appliances, software-based, or cloud services.
