FatPipe Next Gen Firewall is a network security appliance that provides integrated security features to address enterprise security requirements. The solution includes a stateful firewall that monitors active connections and performs deep packet inspection to filter traffic based on context and connection history. The firewall incorporates intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS) to identify and block hostile network activity. It includes antivirus and anti-spam engines to protect against malware and unwanted messages. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) functionality is integrated to prevent unauthorized data exfiltration. The product features URL and DNS filtering capabilities that allow administrators to control web access and block malicious websites. DDoS blocking functionality helps maintain service availability during distributed denial of service attacks. A sandbox environment evaluates potentially malicious files or code in isolation, monitoring behavior to detect evasive or unknown threats without impacting network security. Security Access Control manages user authentication and enforces network security policies to restrict access to critical resources. The system supports multiple authentication methods including username/password, web-based and IP-based controls, two-factor authentication, and group-based access controls. The firewall includes SIEM capability for security event monitoring and management.
