NSFOCUS recently announced its inclusion in the prestigious The Enterprise Firewall Landscape, Q2 2024 report by Forrester, a globally recognized research and advisory firm. NSFOCUS has been distinguished as a Notable Vendor for its innovative Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) solution.
Since the introduction of Next-Generation Firewalls in 2007, these security solutions have evolved significantly to adapt to the ever-changing threat landscape and to harness the latest technological advancements. Acknowledging this evolution, Forrester has redefined the concept of enterprise firewalls as follows:
Modern firewall solutions that support original firewall use cases, blocking and allowing traffic via policy based on networks and ports. This includes “next-generation” content inspection to make explicit policy decisions based on user identification and application context. Enterprise firewalls leverage advanced signature-based detection and/or automated malware analysis to detect and block malicious content. Additionally, they integrate with security operations center (SOC) tools in support of forensics and incident response. Enterprise firewalls provide centralized management, offer hybrid delivery options for partial or full cloud delivery to support IT and operational technology (OT) environments, support Zero Trust use cases, and integrate with cloud-delivered threat intelligence for up-to-date insights into vulnerabilities and potential exploits.
