Vendor Landscape Storyboard: Next Generation Firewalls

Four vendor solutions achieved top spots in the evaluation of Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) products, but competitors offer compelling alternatives, especially where business requirements and/or existing IT security solutions dictate a different priority on specific product features.

Use this research to:

• Understand current capabilities of  NGFW vendors, and evaluate offerings for best fit.
• Use scenario analysis and case studies to shortlist vendors.
• Assess implementation recommendations and pitfalls.

Focus first on business requirements so that current and future NGFW objectives can be achieved through the vendor and product chosen – whether the objective is complying with regulatory standards or further securing sensitive data, particularly mobile data and offline devices.
