Today’s #infosec Word of the Day #14 is
#NGFW 🔥🧱
In computer networking, It stands for Next-Generation Firewall (FW). There are many kinds of FWs. For example, a stateful firewall, monitors & detects states of all traffic(data) on a network to track & defend based on traffic patterns & flows. There are other types FWs and are commonly grouped as traditional FWs.
An NGFW provides capabilities beyond a traditional, stateful firewall. While a traditional firewall typically provides stateful inspection of incoming and outgoing network traffic, a next-generation firewall includes features like application awareness (whitelisting/blacklisting), intrusion detection & prevention, & cloud-delivered threat intelligence, & more.
