Explanation

A next-generation firewall (NGFW) is a type of device that can provide content filtering and threat protection, and manage multiple IPSec site-to-site connections. A NGFW can inspect and block malicious or unwanted traffic based on application, user, or content level. A NGFW can also establish and maintain secure tunnels between different networks using IPSec, a protocol that encrypts and authenticates the data packets. A NGFW is the best option to provide the functionality of content filtering, threat protection, and IPSec site-to-site connections.
