NGFW
Cyber threats are evolving faster than ever, and traditional firewalls alone can no longer keep your business safe. A Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) provides the advanced protection your network needs—blocking modern threats, improving visibility, and helping your business stay secure in today’s digital landscape.
A Next-Generation Firewall is an advanced type of firewall that goes beyond simply allowing or blocking traffic. It provides deeper visibility and control over your network, identifying applications, monitoring user activity, and stopping malicious threats in real time.
Unlike traditional firewalls, NGFWs can:
Detect and block unauthorised access attempts
Identify and control applications on your network
Analyse network traffic in detail to spot hidden threats
Adapt to new and evolving cyber risks
By combining traditional firewall functions with advanced threat detection, NGFWs give your business a stronger defence against cyberattacks.
NGFWs track the full context of network activity with stateful inspection, rather than checking each packet individually. Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) goes further by analysing the contents of data packets to block suspicious or malicious traffic before it causes harm.
NGFWs leverage threat intelligence feeds to identify and block new threats as they emerge. They continuously update their databases to stay ahead of cybercriminals, reducing the risk of successful attacks.
Next-Generation Firewalls learn from past incidents using machine learning and behaviour analysis. This adaptive capability allows them to detect unusual activity and respond quickly to evolving threats.
Modern NGFWs can be deployed in the cloud, ensuring that your security policies extend to cloud applications and remote environments. This is ideal for businesses that rely on hybrid or fully cloud-based operations
With a built-in Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), NGFWs actively detect and block attack attempts such as malware infections, brute-force attempts, or network exploits—all before they reach your systems.
Traditional firewalls can no longer handle the speed and sophistication of modern cyberattacks. Implementing an NGFW offers:
Monitor traffic, users, and applications in real time.
Identify and respond to attacks in minutes, not months.
Allow, block, or prioritise applications to protect bandwidth and maintain network integrity.
Prevents downtime, revenue loss, and reputational damage from cyber incidents.
Optimises bandwidth for essential applications and reduces IT overhead.
Supports compliance efforts and simplifies audits.
Know your business is protected by a proactive, future-ready security solution.
