SANGFOR NGAF Next Generation Firewall

Sangfor NGAF Next Generation Firewall provides comprehensive protection against known and unknown threats, including viruses, malware, ransomware, and zero-day attacks. It uses a variety of advanced security technologies, such as deep packet inspection, sandboxing, and behavioral analysis, to identify and block malicious traffic. The NGAF employs a combination of techniques, including –

• AI-Powered Security – Sangfor NGAF uses AI to continually analyze network traffic, identifying abnormal patterns and potential threats. This ensures that the firewall evolves with the threat landscape, always staying ahead of attackers.
• Behavior-Based Detection – In addition to AI, Sangfor’s NGAF also uses behavior-based detection to identify and block suspicious activities, even if they are not known to be malicious. This helps to prevent attacks that traditional firewalls may miss.
• Sandboxing – Before malicious files may infect your network, Sangfor’s NGAF isolates and examines them via sandboxing. This helps to prevent the spread of malware and other malicious code.

Beyond preventing threats, Sangfor’s NGAF is designed to protect critical business assets from any malicious activity and cyber attacks. Key features include –

• Data Loss Prevention (DLP) – The NGAF can be configured to prevent sensitive data from being exfiltrated from the network, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and protecting intellectual property.
• Application Control – The firewall provides granular control over network applications, allowing businesses to define specific policies for each app. This further improves data security by guaranteeing that only authorized users can access critical apps.
• Integrated Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) – Sangfor NGAF’s IPS actively monitors and blocks malicious activities, safeguarding your network from attacks like SQL injections, cross-site scripting, and buffer overflow attacks.

Sangfor understands that managing complex security solutions can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. The NGAF is designed to simplify security operations through –

• User-Friendly Dashboard – Sangfor NGAF offers a highly intuitive interface, allowing IT administrators to monitor, analyze, and respond to security incidents with ease. The dashboard makes sure that all important data is easily available by offering a thorough view of network activity, security warnings, and system health. 
• Automation & Orchestration – The platform automates routine security tasks such as threat hunting, patch management, and incident response. This reduces the manual workload for IT teams, freeing up valuable resources and allowing for a more efficient security operation.
• Centralized Management – Sangfor NGAF offers centralized management for multiple firewalls across different locations, making it an ideal solution for businesses with distributed networks. IT administrators can manage all firewalls from a single interface, ensuring consistent policy enforcement and streamlined security operations across the entire organization.
