This module covers Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs), detailing their use of packet inspection and intrusion prevention to block threats and manage network application access. You will gain a clear understanding of how these mechanisms enhance security beyond traditional firewall capabilities.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

• You will learn how Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW) enhance security beyond traditional firewalls. How NGFWs detect and block threats using intrusion detection and intrusion prevention mechanisms.
• You will learn how firewalls can use Packet Inspection Techniques and understand how packet inspection helps identify malicious activity within network traffic.
• You will learn how NGFWs manage and restrict application usage to enhance.

TOPICS:

Types of firewalls; Intrusion Detection Systems; Traffic Inspection; Web and Application Control
