This template is designed to provide next generation firewall (NGFW) vendors with a consistent set of instructions, ensuring an objective comparison of product features – all while evaluating ease of use and ease of setup and configuration. It contains four common scenarios:
- Ingress traffic control
- Egress traffic control
- Access control
- Reporting
Vendor demonstrations are essential in order to evaluate NGFW user experiences. Allowing vendors to run the demonstration without your guidance will only highlight their strengths. Use this template in conjunction with the project blueprint, Select and Implement a Next Generation Firewall.
