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.

  • ‘We are really happy with the Juniper Mist solution provided by IP Performance and in fact when you look at the number of daily connections I would say it’s exceeded our expectations, for example in our Coatbridge campus the feedback from all staff and students for a number of years has been really negative regarding the Wifi but right now we currently have 600 users connected. The ability to look at the monitor and see what the trends are in terms of time-to-connect and successful connections also gives us the ability to see a problem before it impacts on a number of users. Therefore this reduces the amount of Wifi issues that are submitted to our helpdesk, so this again shows that the solution works.’
