Network firewalls continue to evolve in reaction to changing threats. In this presentation, Wayne Wilkening will trace the progression of the firewall from simple ACLs to today's Next Generation firewalls. He will examine why firewalls are still required and explore some of the things they are being asked to do that go beyond classic security, such as application identification and control. He will also provide a look at the Dell SonicWALL Next Generation Firewall implementation, followed by an open Q&A.
