In summary, Udit Patel views next-generation firewalls as indispensable tools for modern network security, going beyond traditional methods to offer holistic, adaptable defenses. NGFWs provide organizations with comprehensive protection by not only blocking threats but also understanding and controlling traffic at an application level, identifying threats within encrypted data, and adapting policies based on user roles and behaviors. Despite the challenges posed by a complex threat landscape and compliance demands, NGFWs stand as a core component of an organization’s security architecture. According to Udit, NGFWs will continue to evolve to meet emerging threats, empowering businesses to secure their digital environments with advanced, intelligent defenses.
