Firewalls Overview

Firewalls

Firewalls are critical components of any cybersecurity framework, serving as the first line of defense against unauthorized access and network-based attacks. Modern Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) go beyond traditional filtering by offering deep packet inspection, application awareness, and real-time threat prevention. They secure network traffic at the perimeter and internally, providing robust access control and visibility. Designed for today’s hybrid and cloud-driven environments, NGFWs help block malware, detect intrusions, control application usage, and protect remote access through secure VPNs.
