Network Security Simplified
Managing your network and ensuring every device is adequately protected can be a complex and costly task. NG Firewall simplifies network security with a single, modular, software platform designed to fit the evolving needs of your organization.
Designed specifically for organizations with limited IT resources and budgets, NG Firewall provides a browser-based, responsive and intuitive interface enabling you to quickly gain visibility into the traffic on the network. From content filtering to advanced threat protection, VPN connectivity to application-based shaping for bandwidth optimization, NG Firewall delivers a comprehensive, enterprise-grade network security platform for organizations in any industry.
Security, Visibility & Control
Comprehensive Security at the Gateway
Proactively stop malware, hacking attempts, phishing schemes and other threats before they reach users’ devices.
Deep Analysis and Insights
Gain insights in real time from database-driven reports without the need for a separate appliance. See the network status at a glance on the dashboard, ensure compliance with full event logs, and get notifications of network anomalies or unusual user behavior with alert rules.
Next-Generation Filtering
Get a handle on every rogue application, encrypted web request, malware distribution point, drive-by malvertising attempt, and rash of spam.
Superior Connectivity & Performance
Meet the challenges of a remote workforce, branch offices and guest Wi-Fi. Keep users and data safe regardless of location or level of access. Balance competing priorities, ensure Quality of Service (QoS) and maximize uptime while saving the organization money.
Centralized Network Orchestration
Managing the security of distributed networks can be a daunting task for IT administrators and MSPs. ETM Dashboard is a cloud-based console that gives admins the ability to manage networks with multiple locations simply and easily.
ETM Dashboard makes it easy to monitor and manage your NG Firewall or Micro Edge appliances, whether deploying for the first time with zero-touch provisioning, or pushing policy changes across your network. Our partnerships with Bitdefender, Malwarebytes and Webroot give you the ability to identify any threats and start an endpoint protection scan. ETM Dashboard provides a single pane of glass for simplified network orchestration.
Flexible Deployment Options
NG Firewall can be deployed in various ways allowing you to choose the best deployment method for your network. Use a dedicated NG Firewall hardware appliance and drop it into your network with zero touch deployment, or use your own hardware that meets the hardware requirements. NG Firewall can also be deployed on a virtual machine, or in the cloud with AWS or Azure.

The Dashboard provides an overview of the state of your network at a glance. It is extremely useful for quickly viewing what is happening on the network and getting the current status of the NG Firewall server at a glance.
Optimize Network Connectivity
Businesses continue to need more bandwidth than ever before as the reliance on cloud-based apps, video conferencing, VoIP, and cloud storage increases. Your network must securely adapt to these growing needs while prioritizing business-critical applications and services.
Micro Edge provides advanced connectivity and security capabilities to enable any business to have a secure network edge at a fraction of the cost of traditional commercial solutions. Micro Edge provides secure branch connectivity, optimizes existing internet infrastructure, and prioritizes business critical applications to maximize employee productivity.
Features
Branch Office Connectivity
Micro Edge appliances feature WiFi and LTE connectivity (AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon), Fiber, and multiple WAN ports to provide multiple Internet paths that automatically fail over to eliminate downtime. Securely connect distributed enterprises and remote workers using IPsec VPN, OpenVPN and WireGuardⓇ VPN.
Application Based Optimization
Optimal predictive path selection technology incorporates a sophisticated cloud component to identify applications at the first packet. This advanced technology enables Micro Edge software to choose the best path for specific applications or categories of network traffic.
Edge Optimization
Deploying Micro Edge at a branch office boosts Internet connectivity with traffic shaping and QoS to prioritize business critical traffic. Real-time performance monitoring with WAN balancing leverages the performance and cost savings of inexpensive Internet connections to eliminate the need for expensive dedicated links such as MPLS.
Cloud-based Centralized Management
Network administrators using ETM Dashboard gain full visibility of all their NG Firewall and Micro Edge deployments. The cloud-based ETM Dashboard enables you to view appliance network status and location, important events, reporting data, and push global configuration. Automatically configure a mesh VPN network to securely connect your remote locations with a few clicks.
Zero Touch Provisioning
Using ETM Dashboard, network administrators or MSPs can remotely set up and configure single or multiple Micro Edge deployments without having to be on site. Automatic upgrades ensure the latest security updates and enhancements.
Security and Threat Prevention
Micro Edge has a stateful firewall, Threat Prevention and Web Filter which blocks traffic that can cause harm to your network. Encrypted traffic is a hotspot for hackers to hide malware or other malicious code. However, Threat Prevention and Web Filter can make an assessment even if the traffic is encrypted and block harmful files or transmissions before they get onto the network.

Capabilities
Simplified Management
Reduce management overhead by handling a range of tasks remotely with ETM Dashboard. It’s easy to make one-to-many policy changes across locations, then keep appliances in sync automatically. See appliance status at a glance, including uptime, bandwidth utilization, and network traffic summaries. Get valuable auditing logs about administrative changes, key to regulatory compliance. Manage licensing, software updates, backups and more.
Zero-Touch Provisioning
Easily configure NG Firewall and Micro Edge appliances remotely. Customers or partners with multiple locations and limited IT staff can simply set up the appliance to fit the needs of each location without the need for physical access.
Endpoint Security
ETM Dashboard’s integration with Bitdefender, Malwarebytes and Webroot provides administrators an easy way to see not only the status of remote NG Firewalls and Micro Edge devices, but also monitors connected endpoints on the network. Drill down into detailed information about hosts, get alerts when threats are detected, or even initiate an endpoint protection scan.
Networking
Centrally connect and manage all your locations by grouping NG Firewall and Micro Edge appliances together. Automatically connect appliances with auto-provisioning VPN, and view aggregated performance data for the entire network. Create shared WAN routing policies for Micro Edge appliances.
Securing the Distributed Enterprise with Cloud-Managed Solutions
The challenges of network security for a single office location are magnified for distributed organizations. With more than 1.6 million branch offices in the U.S. alone, companies spend a combined $10 billion per year on branch networking solutions. From franchises to retail locations, headquarters to remote workers, the network edge is a diverse patchwork of possible attack surfaces.
Edge Threat Management simplifies network security and internet connectivity across distributed organizations. Edge Threat Management, comprised of our award-winning NG Firewall, Micro Edge, and ETM Dashboard can help companies address security, bandwidth utilization, application performance, centralized management—all while controlling costs.
