Recent security breaches have escalated the need for next-generation firewalls (NGFW) and the additional protection they provide against some of the largest and most ostensibly secure network systems. While traditional firewalls meet businesses' fundamental security requirements, NGFWs' capabilities are enhanced and expanded to accommodate larger enterprises with new and improved features. They provide a plethora of features, skills, and instruments that safeguard your network from contemporary cyber threats and shut off all potential points of entry. This blog will help you understand and find the right NGFW for your business based on the configuration of your network and the resources and tools you have for security.

The massive increase in cyber attacks and attempts at breaching networks and systems has led businesses to develop defences.

This blog will discuss intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPSs), their significance in network security, their various types and their working.

The threats to cyber security are growing more severe and systematic. A cyber attack can have serious short-term effects on a business.

This blog will highlight the importance of a cyber security champion on the board to assist the businesses' direction and create a rapid recovery plan, to conquer cyber attacks successfully. We will also share some tips on handling a cyber attack and what to do following a data breach.
