Next-generation firewall: History, Art & Technology

A next-generation firewall (NGFW) is a part of the third generation of firewall technology, combining a conventional firewall with other network device filtering functions, such as an application firewall using in-line deep packet inspection (DPI) and an intrusion prevention system (IPS). Other techniques might also be employed, such as TLS-encrypted…
