Next-Generation Firewall Service, often shortened as NGFW, describes a new security technology.

Services in NGFWs have advanced beyond typical firewalls, adding new features to address the current types of risks. The focus of Next Generation Firewalls is much greater compared to regular firewalls. Among their activities are special data packet inspection, intrusion prevention and examining every application.

NGFW services are especially good at spotting and blocking applications from doing harm, regardless of the connection method being used. As a result, companies can set detailed security measures that fit with their goals and stop staff from installing unauthorized software. Besides, NGFWs make use of real-time threat intelligence to recognize and stop risks better than regular networks.

NGFWs also concentrate on determining who each user is. With these firewalls, you can assign network activities to specific users, so your user policies are smarter and you can respond to incidents more quickly.

Starting to use NGFW^{+} enables additional security measures for both hybrid and cloud networks of businesses. They bring together different security tasks on a single console, so IT administrators need to handle less software.

To protect themselves against ongoing cybersecurity threats, organizations use NGFW services. They add extra layers of protection that go beyond a firewall, helping to defend your company as more business occurs online.
