What is next-gen firewall and why does it matter?

The what, how and why of NGFWs for your organisation
Firewalls have been around for years, so why is a next-generation firewall (NGFW) still critical to your security strategy?

The short answer is that modern enterprise application stacks require protection at various levels and with multiple capabilities—two things traditional firewalls don’t offer.

This recorded webinar features security experts from Amazon Web Services (AWS) and SANS break down the myths and realities of what an NGFW is, how to use one, and what one can do for your security posture. You’ll also hear multiple use cases of applying an NGFW on-premises or in your cloud.
