It is smart to create a line of defence for everything valuable for us. In business, one of the most important and useful things is its network system. Ensuring a safe and protected network security infrastructure is the priority of every business. An organisation gets various security tools installed in its network infrastructure to ensure complete protection from cyber threats. One of the most basic yet incredibly useful, security tool is the firewall. It acts as a line of defence in protecting the network security system. Firewalls are an excellent choice for networks that uses regular access to the Internet for everyday business operations. It works by monitoring incoming and outgoing network traffic and permits or blocks data packets based on a set of security rules. One of its primary purposes is to establish a barrier between your internal network and incoming traffic from external sources (such as the Internet) to block malicious traffic like viruses and hackers.  

Since the past few years' many businesses have been using firewalls as a security tool. However, over time, both the cyber crime landscape as well as the firewall systems, have evolved. The traditional firewalls are no longer effective in protecting against the sophisticated malwares that are used by hackers these days. That is why the security industry has come up with the Next Generation Firewalls that are designed using advanced technology to provide a superior level of security to networks.
