Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) is the part of the third generation in firewall technology, combining a traditional firewall with other network device FILTERING functionalities, such as APPLICATION firewall using in-line deep packet inspection SYSTEM (DPI), an INTRUSION prevention system (IPS). Other techniques might also be employed, such as TLS/SSL encrypted traffic examination, website filtering, QoS/bandwidth management, antivirus scrutiny, and third-party identity management integration (i.e. LDAP, RADIUS, Active Directory)
