Forcepoint NGFW Appliances
Unified operation and high performance

Powered by a unified core, Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) Appliances offer consistent capabilities and management everywhere – in data centers, at the edge, in branch offices and the cloud. Forcepoint NGFW appliances are designed for efficiency, availability and security, and have a broad range of built-in (no additional licenses or installation required) security features including: VPN, IPS, anti-evasion, encrypted inspection, SD-WAN and even mission-critical application proxies. And, with Forcepoint’s centralized management and mixed clustering, they can be repurposed quickly for a longer lifetime than single-purpose devices.

Physical Appliances

Forcepoint NGFW appliances support a wide range of customizable network interfaces (read our Appliance Comparison datasheet) and can be clustered together in mixed groups for even greater capacity and high availability – hardware and software in clusters can even be upgraded without downtime. All models run unified Forcepoint NGFW software, which provides consistent capabilities, high performance and centralized management. Forcepoint NGFW appliances are designed for use in the most rigorous networks (see Certifications).

All appliances (except the 100 series) can be deployed as either a Layer 2 or Layer 3 firewall or a next generation intrusion prevention system (IPS). Most models have extensible networking interfaces (including bypass modules), which allow for configuration changes throughout the device’s life span.
