Sangfor Network Secure - Next Generation Firewalls (NGFW).

The Sangfor Network Secure Firewall (formerly known as Sangfor NGAF) is the world's first Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) that combines AI, Cloud Threat Intelligence, NG-WAF, IoT Security and SoC Lite technology.
Sangfor Network Secure is a converged security solution that provides protection against advanced persistent threats (APTs), malware, ransomware, IoT threats and Web attacks. It integrates security features including firewall, application control, URL filtering, intrusion prevention system (IPS), anti-malware, cloud sandbox and WAF. The Sangfor Network Secure firewall also harnesses the power of Sangfor Engine Zero (an AI-powered malware inspection engine) and Neural-X (a threat intelligence & analytics platform) to detect and isolate emerging threats that have not yet been added to any security database, making it particularly effective against 0-day attacks.
Key features and capabilities of Sangfor Network Secure Firewalls
Malware detection - Sangfor Network Secure integrates with Sangfor Engine Zero, an artificial intelligence-based malware detection engine. Engine Zero was developed using machine learning models and AI algorithms. As a result, Network Secure provides a 99.76% detection rate for known and unknown malware on the Internet.
Threat Intelligence - Sangfor Network Secure integrates with Sangfor Neural-X, a cloud-based artificial intelligence-based threat intelligence and analysis platform. Neural-X is constantly updated to protect against the latest indicators of compromise (IOC) and adversary tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP). For example, Network Secure can send a suspicious DNS address to Neural-X for verification. If Neural-X classifies this DNS as a known C&C server, Network Secure automatically blocks this communication so as not to cause further damage.
Cloud Deception - Sangfor Network Secure is the first NGFW with built-in deception technology. Administrators take just five minutes to configure decoys that proactively locate and stop attackers and suspicious lateral movements.
Web Application Firewall (WAF) - Sangfor Network Secure is integrated with Sangfor NG-WAF, a next-generation firewall designed to provide robust protection for web applications. Leveraging semantic analysis and the industry's first WAF with built-in virtual execution system (VES), Sangfor WAF protects web applications from the most advanced attacks, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting.
SOC Lite - Sangfor Network Secure integrates the SOC Lite feature to simplify security operations and incident response. Instead of analyzing tons of security logs, security administrators can intuitively determine the current threat level of users and hosts through a graphical interface. What's more, Network Secure provides users with essential guidance for responding to security threats.
Anti-Ransomware - Sangfor Network Secure integrates with Sangfor Endpoint Secure (Endpoint Detection and Response - EDR) and Cyber Command (Network Detection and Response - NDR) as part of the Sangfor Anti-Ransomware solution. Threat analysis data collected from networks and endpoints visualizes the hidden ransomware process through a graphical user interface and enables "one-click quarantine" to eliminate the encryption control application from all infected hosts.
Smarter defense based on artificial intelligence
Sangfor Network Secure firewall (formerly known as NGAF) takes NGFW technology to the next level to meet the changing security needs of modern enterprises. With market foresight and technical prowess, Sangfor Network Secure is a "world first" in several categories:
- The world's first AI-enabled NGFW with intelligent detection, eliminating more than 99% of external threats at the network perimeter.
- First next-generation firewall integrated with Web Application Fire wall (WAF) to provide network and Web application security in a single appliance.
- The world's first NGFW integrated with deception technology to provide proactive detection of attackers and suspicious traffic.
- First NGFW with built-in SOC Lite to help security teams quickly determine threat security status and respond.
- The world's first next-generation Firewall that fully integrates with endpoint security and NDR solutions to create a holistic security system.
