Re: Next Generation Firewalls

[Alexandre Adao <alexandre.adao () MORGAN EDU>]

Hello Everyone,

​​
We are in the process to acquire a NGFW.  During my evaluation, Checkpoint
and PaloAlto have demonstrated a good solution. Just keep in mind that in
all NGFW  specially if you enable SSL decryption, it will have some impact
on performance. You may need a separate box for Web Application Filter to
off load the firewall performance.
