AIOps for Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW)

Think of AIOps for next‑generation firewalls as a smart co‑pilot for your network security team. It constantly watches all your firewalls, spots issues before they break things, suggests the safest settings, and automatically tunes configurations so your security stays strong without your team manually chasing every alert.

Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

Reduces the operational burden of managing complex next‑generation firewall (NGFW) environments by using AI/ML to detect misconfigurations, predict issues, prioritize alerts, and recommend or automate fixes—improving security posture while lowering downtime and admin effort.

Value Drivers

Operational cost reduction in firewall and network security managementReduced downtime and faster incident detection/resolutionImproved security posture via continuous configuration optimizationAlert noise reduction and better prioritization for security teamsHigher change velocity with lower risk through AI‑assisted policy changes

Strategic Moat

Tight integration with the vendor’s NGFW telemetry and configuration data, plus proprietary security/log data at scale that can train and refine operational AI models better than standalone AIOps tools.
