Enterprise Advanced Security (NGFW): Palo Alto Networks VM-Series Virtual Next-Generation Firewall – DETECTION

Network security products detect threats at different security layers

Next-generation firewall vs. advanced persistent attacks

Our reports help you choose the best enterprise security products that can protect you from ransomware and other types of attacks.

Understanding the capabilities of different security products is always better achieved before you need to use them in a live scenario. SE Labs’ Enterprise Advanced Security test reports help you assess which are the best for your own organisation.

There are many opportunities to spot and stop attackers. Products can detect them when attackers send phishing emails to targets. Or later, when other emails contain links to malicious code. Some kick into action when malware enters the system. Others sit up and notice when the attackers exhibit bad behaviour on the network.
