Summary/Abstract: The primary function of any firewall is to assist in protecting against unwanted or malicious traffic entering or leaving a network. However, as threats evolve and become increasingly challenging to detect, network security must remain equally sophisticated. In addition to access control, Next-Generation Firewalls can block modern threats such as advanced malware and application-layer attacks. This paper will present the fundamental characteristics of Next-Generation Firewalls and their implementation in modern networks, particularly their use in IoT. First, the concept of Next-Generation Firewalls will be explained, highlighting significant improvements they have over previous generations of firewalls, and the reasons for implementing them. Next, the authors will provide an overview of Next-Generation Firewall architectures. Special attention will be given to the use of Next-Generation Firewalls in the context of IoT.
