Sangfor Network Secure Advantages
Advanced Threat Detection
Sangfor Network Secure utilizes AI, machine learning, and real-time threat intelligence to achieve a 99.76% malware detection rate, effectively keeping security threats outside the network perimeter.
SOC Lite
SOC Lite is a game-changer for small to mid-size enterprises, offering intuitive security visibility with response guidance. Sangfor Network Secure helps administrators quickly assess threat levels for users, servers, and ransomware events.
Sangfor Network Secure Key Features & Capabilities
Malware Detection
Sangfor Network Secure integrates AI-powered Engine Zero, leveraging machine learning to detect both known and unknown malware with an impressive 99.76% detection rate across the internet.
Threat Intelligence
Sangfor Network Secure integrates with Neural-X, a cloud-based AI-powered threat intelligence platform. It continuously updates to counter the latest indicators of compromise (IOC) and adversary tactics (TTPs). For instance, if a suspicious DNS address is detected, Neural-X verifies it, and if identified as a C&C server, Network Secure automatically blocks communications to prevent further threats.
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
Sangfor Network Secure features NG-WAF, a next-gen web application firewall for advanced web protection. Utilizing semantic analysis and the industry’s first virtual execution system (VES), it defends against sophisticated attacks like SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS).
SOC Lite
Sangfor Network Secure’s SOC Lite simplifies security operations and incident response. Instead of sifting through massive logs, administrators can intuitively assess threats via the Network Secure GUI. It also provides actionable guidance to handle security risks efficiently.
Anti-Ransomware
Sangfor Network Secure works with Sangfor Endpoint Secure (EDR) and Cyber Command (NDR) to deliver a comprehensive Anti-Ransomware solution. By gathering forensic threat intelligence from both network and endpoints, it visualizes hidden ransomware activity and enables “one-click quarantine” to eliminate threats across all infected hosts.
Sangfor Network Secure Use Cases
Robust Perimeter Security
Sangfor Network Secure integrates antivirus, intrusion prevention, AI-powered malware detection, and real-time threat intelligence to block over 99% of threats at the network perimeter.
Secure SD-WAN
Sangfor Network Secure features built-in SD-WAN capabilities, ensuring secure and optimized connectivity for HQ-to-branch, branch-to-branch, and work-from-anywhere (WFX) scenarios.
Second-Tier Firewall
Enhance your existing firewall with AI-powered threat detection, real-time threat intelligence, and Next-Gen WAF, providing an extra layer of advanced security.
Frequently Asked Question
What is a firewall?
A firewall is a network security tool that monitors and filters traffic between private networks and the internet. It enforces security rules to allow or block traffic, preventing unauthorized access, malware, and cyber threats.
Firewalls can be hardware or software-based:
Hardware firewalls protect entire networks by filtering traffic at a central point.
Software firewalls are installed on endpoints to filter traffic for specific devices.
Types of firewalls include packet filtering, stateful inspection, proxy, NAT firewalls, and Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs).
What is a next generation firewall (NGFW)?
NGFWs are the latest advancement in firewall technology, utilizing Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) to analyze data packet content. This enables granular security policies based on data type, applications, devices, and users.
As part of Unified Threat Management (UTM), NGFWs integrate multiple security features, including:
Antivirus
Intrusion Detection System (IDS)
Threat Intelligence
Application Control
Email Security and more.
What is the difference between a next generation firewall and traditional firewalls?
Traditional firewalls, such as packet filtering and stateful inspection firewalls, rely only on header information (IP address, protocol, and port number) for traffic control, offering limited security.
Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) leverage Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) to analyze packet content (payload), enabling:
✅ Granular security rules based on applications, services, devices, and users
✅ Blocking of malicious data exploiting specific apps/services
✅ Antivirus scanning to detect malware in real time
✅ Integrated Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) to identify suspicious activities
What are the features of next generation firewalls?
Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) are a Unified Threat Management (UTM) solution, integrating multiple security features into one device:
✅ Antivirus – Detects and blocks malware in network traffic
✅ Intrusion Detection System (IDS) – Identifies suspicious activity signaling potential attacks
✅ Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) – Responds to detected threats in real time
✅ Threat Intelligence – Provides up-to-date protection against emerging threats
✅ Sandboxing – Tests suspicious files in a secure environment for hidden threats
✅ Application Control – Monitors and restricts applications’ internet access
✅ URL Filtering – Blocks access to unauthorized or harmful websites
✅ Email Protection – Filters out malicious and spam emails
✅ Web Application Firewall (WAF) – Shields web applications from cyber threats
How do I choose a next generation firewall?
NGFW vendors offer various models tailored to different needs. Organizations should evaluate firewalls based on:
✅ Security Capabilities – Ensure the NGFW meets your threat protection requirements
✅ Performance & Throughput – Choose a model that aligns with network size and traffic volume
✅ Cost & Value – Balance budget considerations with security needs
✅ Deployment Mode – On-premise, cloud, or hybrid options based on infrastructure
✅ Ease of Management – Intuitive UI and automation for simplified operations
✅ Vendor Support & Service – Reliable customer support for troubleshooting
For real-world insights, customer reviews from platforms like Gartner Peer Insights provide objective feedback on NGFW performance and reliability.
