Even NGFW is not omnipotent. The most common cause of errors is paradoxically the administrator’s incorrect configuration (forgotten rules, outdated security policies, etc.). Only the principle of four eyes can eliminate risks from negligence or breaches through the firewall. Often, networking and NW security are divided into the competencies of different departments. Network Monitoring is the primary tool for the NOC (network operation center) department. In addition to primary risks, we can also identify protocol anomalies, non-standard communications, or application performance.
