Rational Survivability - THE Cloud & Virtualization Security Blog So-called Next Generation Firewalls (NGFW) are those that extend “traditional port firewalls” with the added context of policy with application visibility and control to include user identity while enforcing security, compliance and productivity decisions to flows from internal users to the Internet. NGFW, as defined, is a campus and branch solution. Campus and Branch NGFW solves the “inside-out” problem — applying policy from a number of known/identified users on the “inside” to a potentially infinite number of applications and services “outside” the firewall, generally connected to the Internet. They function generally as forward proxies with various network insertion strategies. Campus and Branch NGFW is NOT a Data Center NGFW solution.

Campus and Branch NGFWs need to provide application visibility and control across potentially tens of thousands of applications, many of which are evasive. They don’t. /Hoff
