Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW) integrate traditional firewall capabilities with advanced features like intrusion prevention, application awareness, and deep packet inspection. Unlike standard firewalls, which primarily filter traffic based on ports and protocols, NGFWs provide enhanced security by analyzing the content of the traffic for threats.

An AI-powered firewall integrates the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) with a next-generation firewall (NGFW). It leverages modern machine learning and AI capabilities to more effectively identify both known and unknown threats within network traffic.

In a ML-Powered NGFW, ML algorithms are embedded in the firewall code. This means that the firewall can inspect a file while it’s being downloaded and block it instantly if it is malicious, without having to access offline tools. With this approach, the time from visibility to prevention is close to zero
