Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW) / Next-Generation Intrusion Prevention Systems (NGIPS):
These advanced systems go beyond traditional firewall capabilities. They analyze and filter network traffic with a deeper level of inspection and intelligence, integrating capabilities like application awareness and control, integrated intrusion prevention, and cloud-delivered threat intelligence.
Web Application Firewalls (WAF):
These are specialized types of firewalls specifically designed to secure web applications. They protect from various attacks such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and others, by monitoring and filtering HTTP traffic between a web application and the Internet.
Traffic Filtering Systems and DDoS Protection:
These are crucial in identifying, mitigating, and preventing Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks which can overwhelm network resources. This includes sophisticated systems for monitoring network traffic, filtering out malicious traffic, and ensuring network accessibility and reliability.
