Next Generation Firewalls

Network Firewalls are the first line of defence into the private network. Early firewalls were simple packet filters, allowing or denying traffic based on source and destination IP addresses. The second generation of network firewalls were known as Stateful Inspection devices, extending their functionality to the Transport layer of the OSI stack. Next Generation Firewalls (NGFW) are an evolution of the Application level firewall that followed. Most network firewalls today are Application level or NGFW devices, and may include routing and switching capabilities.
