Increasing cyber threats and their crippling effect on daily life have led to the need for a more advanced and robust security system, which goes beyond the conventional cybersecurity firewalls, which are limited to simple port and protocol inspections.
The need of the hour is a mix of conventional firewall capabilities along with unified threat intelligence, control at the application level, and deep packet inspection. The answer is Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW).
The need to develop NGFWs is based on the fact that conventional firewalls were limited to scrutinizing Layers 3 and 4 of the OSI model.
On the other hand, NGFWs can scrutinize up to layer 7. Conventional firewalls filter traffic by IP address, port, and protocol, while NGFWs filter by the application being used, user identity, and content. In a nutshell, NSFW actually pre-empts any cyber threat long before a hack happens.
Hyderabad, which boasts one of the fastest-growing IT industries in the country, and DataBytes Consulting, based in Banjara Hills, are fulfilling their role of managing cyber threats by providing the best ransomware protection services for the IT entities in the city. DataBytes Consulting has already made a name by providing the best ransomware protection services for the IT entities in Electronic City (Bangalore), BKC (Mumbai), and Chennai’s OMR.
Why NGFW Is The Answer To Cyber Threats
NGFW is not a single tool but a cohesive platform of cyber threat protection technologies working in unison. While conventional firewalls do not examine the contents of data packets in real time, NGFW has the ability to identify malware, ransomware, and malicious code. Very often, malware manages to sneak past firewalls and carry out its intended operations.
At DataBytes Consulting, we not only provide damage control and recovery operations after a disaster, but our primary aim is to sniff out the malware by examining its inner layers and preventing any security breach.
Our NGFW services ensure that the specific application generating the traffic, regardless of the port it uses, is closely monitored, making sure the file-sharing integrations within the app are blocked. In today’s world, where web traffic is encrypted, hackers often use encryption to hide malware.
Our services ensure that the packet is decrypted, inspected, and re-encrypted in an instant, thanks to the processing power of NSFWs. The service also ensures better user and identity control by doing away with mapping policies to IP addresses and using integration with directory services to identify specific users and groups.
NGFW also uses AI and machine learning to carry out Behavioural Analytics, predict threats in advance, and automated response. AI helps to sniff out Zero-day attacks, unknown malware, and insider threats.
NSFWs are the last line of defence, and DataBytes services understand this perfectly.
At DataBytes Consulting, we also carry out regular upgrades in our cyber threat prevention services with regular policy reviews, which include the removal of outdated rules and integration of advanced protection features such as IPS and DPI. We also regularly keep threat intelligence updated and analyse suspicious activity.
NGFWs protect corporate entities from cyber threats, ensures remote workforce security by securing VPN and remote access traffic. It also provides security to the financial sector by securing customer data and financial transactions. It also plays a vital role in the health sector by securing patient records and medical systems.
Don’t wait for disaster to happen and therefore invest in the ransom security services in the city of Hyderabad. DataBytes Consulting is ready to carry out a security audit of your company and ensure that there are no chinks in the cybersecurity apparatus. We always remain one step ahead of cyber criminals and believe in prevention rather than cure.
