Explanation
A Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) consolidates traditional firewall functions (stateful packet inspection, VPN termination) with advanced capabilities such as intrusion prevention, application- layer (L7) inspection, and support for multiple VPN contexts. This single-footprint device can host separate VPN tunnels with distinct security policies while enforcing deep-packet and application- level controls across all traffic.
