Benefits of Next Generation Firewall Service

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
