Why Its time to Upgrade a Next-Generation FirewallAli Kapucu
The bad guys keep getting better. They have found out advanced techniques that get
around our old defenses. Scanning for their signatures was enough for a while, but not
now. We can no longer just lock a few ports and feel safe at night. An application port can change everyday. These security bandits hijack IP addresses, hiding behind legitimate people to launch their attacks. Stopping them has gotten harder; our defenses have become more durable. Older enterprise firewalls and IPS are not enough anymore.
This document discusses Sangfor NGFW (Next Generation Firewall) and its security features. It summarizes the weaknesses of traditional UTMs, how NGFW improves on them by integrating firewall, IPS, antivirus, web application firewall and other functions. It also explains how Sangfor NGFW uses techniques like application identification, intelligent interaction between modules, bidirectional content inspection and high performance to provide security from the network layer to the application layer against various threats.
Traditional Firewall vs. Next Generation Firewall美兰 曾
Traditional firewalls control traffic entering and exiting a network using stateless or stateful methods. Next-generation firewalls combine traditional firewall features with additional capabilities like deep packet inspection, intrusion prevention, and application awareness. While traditional and next-generation firewalls both provide static packet filtering and stateful inspection, next-generation firewalls offer more advanced protection through deep packet inspection at the application level and integration of outside threat intelligence. The document compares features of leading next-generation firewall vendors Cisco, CheckPoint, Fortinet, WatchGuard and Dell.
Next Generation Security
- Evolution of network security technologies from basic firewalls to next generation firewalls (NGFW) and next generation intrusion prevention systems (NGIPS) that provide advanced capabilities like application awareness, user awareness, and context awareness.
- NGFWs provide integrated firewall, IPS, and other features to control access at the application and user level rather than just the network/port level. NGIPS builds on IPS with application/context awareness to more accurately assess and respond to threats.
- Context awareness in particular enhances security by providing additional network intelligence and situational awareness to make better response decisions with fewer false alarms. The future of security emphasizes continued convergence through features like expanded awareness capabilities and centralized management

AI Changes Everything – Talk at Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2...Alan Dix
Talk at the final event of Data Fusion Dynamics: A Collaborative UK-Saudi Initiative in Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence funded by the British Council UK-Saudi Challenge Fund 2024, Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2025
https://alandix.com/academic/talks/CMet2025-AI-Changes-Everything/
Is AI just another technology, or does it fundamentally change the way we live and think?
Every technology has a direct impact with micro-ethical consequences, some good, some bad. However more profound are the ways in which some technologies reshape the very fabric of society with macro-ethical impacts. The invention of the stirrup revolutionised mounted combat, but as a side effect gave rise to the feudal system, which still shapes politics today. The internal combustion engine offers personal freedom and creates pollution, but has also transformed the nature of urban planning and international trade. When we look at AI the micro-ethical issues, such as bias, are most obvious, but the macro-ethical challenges may be greater.
At a micro-ethical level AI has the potential to deepen social, ethnic and gender bias, issues I have warned about since the early 1990s! It is also being used increasingly on the battlefield. However, it also offers amazing opportunities in health and educations, as the recent Nobel prizes for the developers of AlphaFold illustrate. More radically, the need to encode ethics acts as a mirror to surface essential ethical problems and conflicts.
At the macro-ethical level, by the early 2000s digital technology had already begun to undermine sovereignty (e.g. gambling), market economics (through network effects and emergent monopolies), and the very meaning of money. Modern AI is the child of big data, big computation and ultimately big business, intensifying the inherent tendency of digital technology to concentrate power. AI is already unravelling the fundamentals of the social, political and economic world around us, but this is a world that needs radical reimagining to overcome the global environmental and human challenges that confront us. Our challenge is whether to let the threads fall as they may, or to use them to weave a better future.
