A few years ago, next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) came out of nowhere to become a network security staple. These devices combined traditional L3/L4 packet filtering with deep packet inspection, IPS, and other network security services along with knowledge about users and applications. This model is changing rapidly, however.

Firewalls have come a long way from their humble beginnings of assessing network traffic based on appearance alone. Here are six predictions for the future of the firewall. For example, a typical NGFW now may be equipped with firewalling, SD-WAN, a Wi-Fi controller for SD-Branch, an Ethernet controller, and zero-trust functionality.

Because SASE connects and protects the entire hybrid network, most organizations don’t deploy the entire solution at once; instead, they start with a use case, like introducing zero trust or securing internet access, and build from there. Doing so simplifies expanding your SASE deployment and ensures you won’t have to use multiple agents.
