The Next-Gen Firewall is an important component in most company networks and regulates data traffic between different networks.
We find the most suitable hardware and the right configuration for every customer.
For some years now, next-gen firewalls have been offering much more than a conventional firewall, which allows or blocks services.
While conventional firewalls mainly filter data traffic based on ports and protocols and enable network services, VPN and the management of access points and guest networks, next-gen firewalls offer much more:
The Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) recognises and prevents attacks in real time.
The system analyses all data traffic and automatically blocks attacks before they can reach the network. The existing rule and attack patterns are updated. New IPS attack pattern signatures are automatically imported into the rule as IPS rules.
The Application Filter allows you to monitor and control applications that run over the network. For example, an application can be denied access to the network. This is the only way the company network can be sure that no guest or attacker is using an application on a third-party device and causing damage.
The web filter is a security function that controls and restricts access to certain websites and content on the Internet. One of the main tasks of the web filter is to filter content. It doesn't help much if Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and co. are manually blocked in a company network if no social media should be allowed at all.
The content filter analyses the content of websites and assigns them to a website category. Entire website categories can be blocked in the content filter
Firewalls in HA cluster mode are often required to ensure redundancy across all network components. We offer next-gen firewalls from Securepoint and Sophos. Both manufacturers offer an HA cluster mode, whereby the second firewall takes over semi-automatically or fully automatically in the event of a failure.
