Cybercrime, cyber-attacks and malicious hacking attempts are something that businesses of all size are facing. Business owners need to strengthen their IT security posture and implement better and more reliable tools to secure their business’ infrastructure. In the past a simple firewall that either allowed or blocked traffic was an enough security tool for most. However, those days are long gone with attacks becoming increasingly more sophisticated. Hackers keep innovating their attack vectors, keep refining and improving their methods.
In order to face those challenges businesses are implementing what commonly is known as Next Generation Firewalls. Today’s firewalls can scan the incoming traffic for viruses, perform SSL inspection, block malicious URLs, control what applications have access to the network, provide VPN connectivity and control access.
