In 1995, a paradigm shift in Network Security happened with the introduction of the first commercial statefull inspection firewalls to the security market, and from then onwards firewall has been a key component in any security solution. The Next Generation Firewall technologies are trying to bridge this gap by integrating signature based matching in the firewall in order to identify modern applications, while also adding advanced threat management such as IPS functionality, Antivirus Checking and Malware detection. The introduction of a Next Generation Firewall will allow most organizations to regain control and visibility of the traffic flows in the network, while inspecting those flows for threats.
Alpha Networxx has partnered with some of the leading vendors of the Next Generation Firewall technologies and can offer both technical solutions and consultancy on such solutions.
