A company requires a network device that can enforce security policies based on user identity, detect and prevent advanced threats, and analyze traffic at the application layer. Which network component would BEST meet these requirements?
Next-generation firewalls provide advanced security features such as user identity enforcement, intrusion prevention, and application-layer traffic inspection. These capabilities allow them to detect and block sophisticated threats while enforcing detailed security policies. Traditional stateful firewalls lack these advanced features and only perform basic packet filtering and state tracking. Layer 3 switches handle routing and basic access control lists but do not offer deep security functionalities. Intrusion Detection Systems can detect threats but cannot enforce policies or control traffic flow.
