This infographic presents a systematic framework for designing firewall protection around applications, devices, performance, threats, and remote access. Organizations should first determine which applications users need and how much visibility administrators require. A next-generation firewall can inspect applications for malicious activity instead of merely allowing or blocking traffic. Device-based controls are often more effective than relying on IP addresses, since attackers may use approved addresses on compromised equipment. Performance is equally important because filtering and inspection can reduce throughput; the guide recommends selecting an NGFW capable of at least one gigabit. Remote employees should connect through verified identities and encrypted VPN tunnels. Together, thes
