What is Forcepoint NGFW?
Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) promises seamless and central management, whether physical, virtual or in the cloud. Administrators can deploy, monitor and update thousands of firewalls, VPNs and IPSs in minutes, all from a single console. The vendor says that the product reduces network operating expenses by as much as 50%. Advanced clustering for firewalls and networks eliminates downtime, and administrators can rapidly map business processes into strong, accurate controls to block advanced attacks, prevent data theft and properly manage encrypted traffic – all without compromising performance.
The vendor promises the following benefits:
Replace MPLS and Go Direct to Cloud
SD-WAN can be used to replace MPLS at retail stores and branch offices with broadband links to the cloud. The vendor says that it can also accelerate Office 365 performance and boost resilience without sacrificing security.
Stop Evasions That Bypass Your IPS
Forcepoint NGFW also defends networks against emerging exploits and malware—even ones camouflaged by advanced evasion techniques that sneak through most next generation firewalls.
Respond to Incidents in Minutes, Not Hours
See and understand what’s happening in your network with an interactive, visual interface. Update policies for hundreds of physical and virtual locations worldwide with a single click.

Your Next Generation Firewall?
We are using IPS/IDS Firewall, router and SD-WAN capable network security appliance. We currently use the Forcepoint NGFW in our on-premises data center environment, Cloud DR solution, and at all remote locations. We utilize it as a security and routing appliance that can determine the best ISP link to use at any given time or to prioritize types of traffic over specific netlinks.
- Easy to manage and make changes on - ACL's are done with ease.
- Easy USB initial configuration - The easy initial setup of a new location and firewall saves massive time. Settings are automatically pushed to new nodes upon contact with the controller.
- Low Complexity - This system does not have a lot of complexity requiring extra hours, training, or personnel to manage.
- Poor Reporting - It exists but even when calling in to support for assistance, they have no idea how to tackle customizing reports or searching for specific data.

- Efficiency/Productivity increase. The company moved from Cisco firewall and routing hardware to Forcepoint NGFW. It now takes fewer people and fewer hours to manage the new product. This has allowed the company to put the man-hours to use on other projects and tasks.
- Long term viability. This has been a concern in the past when the company started as Stonegate, merged to become Stonesoft then got purchased by McAfee, then McAfee got purchased by Intel. However, with Forcepoint the product seems to have found a stable home.
- Low complexity. The Web GUI based system for management has reduced the cost of personnel and training required. There is no longer a need for the company to have higher trained and higher salary cost employees to manage the system. Mid-level admins at lower salaries are capable of managing the GUI based system with ease.
There are similar hardware and license costs between the two products. The Forcepoint NGFW product is by far easier to use and manage.
