Why each option
Cisco NGFW delivers proactive defense preparation, operational simplicity, and accelerated threat detection and remediation as its three primary business and security benefits.
Reducing throughput is a negative side effect to be minimized, not a marketed benefit; Cisco NGFW is engineered to maintain high throughput even with deep inspection enabled.
Cisco NGFW leverages threat intelligence feeds and policy automation to continuously prepare and update defenses against emerging threats before they reach the network.
By consolidating firewall, IPS, application visibility, and URL filtering into a single platform, Cisco NGFW reduces the number of point products and the operational complexity of managing them.
Identifying anomalous traffic is primarily a feature associated with network behavior analysis tools like Cisco Secure Network Analytics (StealthWatch), not a key stated benefit of NGFW.
Cisco NGFW integrates with Cisco Talos threat intelligence and automated response capabilities, enabling security teams to detect and remediate threats significantly faster than traditional firewalls.
Increasing traffic latency is an undesirable outcome; Cisco NGFW is designed to minimize inspection latency through purpose-built hardware and software acceleration.
