AI-Enhanced Next Gen Firewalls
An AI-enhanced next-generation firewall (hereafter AI-NGFW) is a security system that expands the capabilities of next-generation firewalls (NGFW) by leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning (ML) to enhance network protection, designed to detect, analyze, and mitigate cyber threats in real-time by using intelligent algorithms to identify suspicious activities and predict potential risks based on historical and contextual data.
This video generally describes AI-enhanced firewalls, given that solutions can vary across vendors, and compares them to traditional NGFW.
