Role of firewalls in modern threats
Next-generation firewalls (NGFW) combine application inspection, IPS, and identity-aware access. Port-only rules leave you exposed to malware over HTTPS.
Map critical flows first: ERP, email, remote VPN, cloud SaaS, and guest Wi‑Fi. Each zone needs distinct policies.
Throughput and licensing
Size throughput with IPS/SSL inspection enabled — not marketing numbers without security features. Plan three-year bandwidth growth.
UTM, threat intelligence, and SD-WAN licenses are often separate; include them in procurement TCO.
Branch rollout
Retail or warehouse branches need policy templates for consistent rollout. Intilogy helps rule migration, link failover testing, and as-built documentation.
