Network security and firewalls
Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW), intrusion prevention systems (IPS), and hardware/virtual appliances enforcing deep packet inspection, application control, and encrypted traffic inspection.
Key Technical Considerations Before Procuring
Next-Generation Firewalls must inspect high-throughput encrypted traffic without paralyzing network latency. Buyers should evaluate hardware ASIC acceleration, SSL/TLS 1.3 deep packet inspection throughput, integrated Secure SD-WAN, and seamless edge-to-cloud ZTNA policy synchronization.
