“Growth in Firewall Capabilities Amid Evolving Cybersecurity Threats”
- One major driver in the evolution of network security firewalls is the growing sophistication of cyberattacks, pushing enterprises to adopt next-generation firewall (NGFW) technologies equipped with AI and behavior-based threat detection.
- These systems enhance network defense by offering real-time inspection, threat intelligence integration, and proactive mitigation tools.
For instance,
- In January 2025, Fortinet announced enhancements to its FortiGate NGFW series, integrating machine learning-based threat detection and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) features to address increasingly complex threat landscapes.
- Such innovations are improving organizational cybersecurity resilience, driving widespread adoption across sectors like BFSI, healthcare, and government.
