NGFW and Network Detection
Network security controls and threat detection in internal traffic
Traditional firewalls focus on north-south traffic (to and from the internet), leaving east-west traffic (within the network) unsupervised. NDR fills this gap by analyzing network traffic patterns for anomalies and threats. Next-generation firewalls (NGFW) add application and user context to access decisions, enabling precise security policies. Network segmentation limits the scope of potential compromise, while automated threat response shortens the time from detection to neutralization.
What problems it solves
- Lack of visibility into network traffic
- Difficulty detecting internal threats
- Outdated firewalls without application context
- Lack of automated response to network threats
Typical use cases
- Deployment of a next-generation firewall
- NDR
- Network segmentation
- East-west traffic analysis
