![]() Leading providers of NGFWs that support zero trust include Barracuda Networks, Check Point Software Technologies, Cisco, Forcepoint, Fortinet, Juniper Networks, Palo Alto Networks, SonicWall, Sophos and WatchGuard. ![]() “ Palo Alto Networks‘ new policy-creation wizards use AIops to continuously recommend best practices on any change, effectively providing real-time guardrails to the user,” Holmes writes in the Forrester report. ![]() Artificial intelligence is starting to deliver both security efficacy and configuration guidance,” said David Holmes, senior analyst in The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Firewalls Q4 2022 report. “Firewall vendors retooled their portfolios to apply artificial intelligence, vendor-delivered services, and partner service for network security. Gartner defines NGFWs as “deep-packet inspection firewalls that move beyond port/protocol inspection and blocking to add application-level inspection, intrusion prevention, and bringing intelligence from outside the firewall.” Continuing its definition, Gartner advises that “an NGFW should not be confused with a stand-alone network intrusion prevention system (IPS), which includes a commodity or nonenterprise firewall, or a firewall and IPS in the same appliance that is not closely integrated.”Īs noted by Forrester, “NGFWs are the cornerstone of zero trust.” In a zero-trust network, NGFWs act as segmentation gateways, “taking security controls found in individual point products (firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, web application firewalls, content filtering gateways, network access controls, VPN gateways, and other encryption products) and embedding them in a single solution.” Next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) are integral to the future of zero-trust security.
