Next Generation Firewall
Increase network security and performance without design complexity with the next generation of security firewalls
Fixing security issues By Next-Generation Firewalls
Today, network security is threatened in most organizations, exposing them to unintended risks in business and incurring rising costs. On the other hand, the usual and old network security solutions are no longer able to keep up with the progress in applications, threats and network perspectives and reforming and modifying them has not been effective to compensate for these shortcomings in most cases. So it’s time for network security to be reviewed and innovated.
In order to Regain the role of firewall as the basis of network security in the organization, next-generation firewalls are used to solve the problem. Next-generation firewalls start from scratch and categorize traffic by application identity; This creates a monitoring and control feature for all applications, including Web 2.0, Enterprise 2.0, and older versions running on enterprise networks. Functional requirements for a next-generation firewall with efficient performance include the following features:
Identify applications, regardless of port, protocol, attack techniques, or SSL encryption before getting things done
Establish policy-based control and visibility over applications such as Separated functions
Accurate users identification and use of their identity information as a feature of Policy Control
Protection against a wide range of real-time threats, including active threats at the application layer
Traditional firewall integration and network intrusion capabilities
Support for multi-gigabyte and in-line implementations, which are also somehow weak in performance, are common features in traditional firewalls including Packet filtering, Network and Port-Address Translation (NAT), Stateful review, and VPN (Virtual Private Network) support. In addition, common intrusion prevention capabilities include vulnerability and threat signatures and knowledge of intrusion detection.
An important and key feature of next generation firewalls (NGFW) is that these firewalls perform the same function as the old firewalls with advanced capabilities. They combine new detection technologies, high-level performance and several other key features to provide an organizational solution.
IPS Protection
Conventional and powerful methods for normalizing and regulating traffic are combined through disruption detection protocol , behavior disorder, and the exploratory detection process mechanisms to provide protection against a wide range of known and unknown threats.
Ability to Monitor and control
By increasing monitoring and control with NGFW, organizations can focus on relevant job factors such as applications, users, and content to control policy, rather than using obscure features such as ports and protocols, and In addition to achieving full and better adaptability and risk management, provide threat prevention for authorized applications.
File and data filtering
This type of filtering can help implement policies that reduce the risk of unauthorized data and file transfers by scrutinizing applications. These include the ability to block files based on their actual type and the ability to control the process of transferring sensitive data patterns such as credit information and numbers. This process completes the detailed examination to identify applications and provides file transfer control for many applications.
Technical / operational capability of security equipment in SMENODE
SMENODE conducts extensive studies to reduce False Positives as well as complete and successful implementation of security equipment implementation projects and helps the organization to implement this equipment as well as possible. SMENODE after studying some organizations: Due to lack of proper study of security equipment, not all features and capabilities of this equipment have been used and in some cases due to improper design and configuration, the organization has been exposed to cyber-attacks. SMENODE in all its consulting and implementation projects has successfully completed the implementation of this equipment and in the operational mode has implemented security equipment at the highest level of security for organizations.
