Next-generation firewall vendors have SASE on their roadmaps

The adoption of cloud has required that a firewall must provide features beyond the physical device, such as virtualized appliances, firewall as a service (FWaaS) and containerized versions. While basic firewall functionality is foundational to all products in the NGFW market, the firewall is no longer just an appliance that sits in your data center. Since all of these features are provided by the same vendor, next-gen firewalls are easier to maintain and are more convenient when vendor support is needed.

These added features are integrated into the NGFW platform and are typically managed from a single console. Next-generation firewalls (NGFW) offer the same capabilities of a traditional firewall with added features such as Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), Integrated Intrusion Protection (IIP), Web Filtering, Antivirus, Antispam, Anti-Malware, SSL and SSH traffic inspection, all with an eye towards the detection and isolation of threats in real-time.
