Detailed explanation-1: -Intrusion prevention analyzes incoming traffic, identifies known threats and potential threats, and blocks those threats. Such a feature is often called an intrusion prevention system (IPS). NGFWs include IPSes as part of their DPI capabilities.
Detailed explanation-2: -A next-generation firewall (NGFW) is a deep-filtering firewall integrated with an intrusion detection system (IDS) or intrusion prevention system (IPS) and able to control and block traffic at the application level.
Detailed explanation-3: -NGFW Capabilities Application and User Control: A NGFW has visibility into application-layer network traffic and various users on the network. This allows the NGFW to enforce granular, zero-trust access controls. Encrypted Traffic Inspection: NGFWs support the decryption and inspection of HTTPS encrypted tunnels.
Detailed explanation-4: -Application control is a security technology built into some next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) and secure web gateways (SWGs). The ability to uniquely identify the application that created a particular traffic flow provides a number of different network performance and security benefits to an organization.
