ARC’s new research on Industrial Next Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) shows strong market growth for the foreseeable future. In spite of economic uncertainty and reduced spending in many industries, demand for increased cybersecurity remains strong in the industrial and critical infrastructure sectors. ARC’s new Industrial Next Generation Firewall research examines how these products are evolving. Today’s NGFWs are more than just firewalls; they are increasingly adopting more sophisticated software technologies and security functions. This is particularly true of industrial AI, which is being used to automate threat response, provide deeper insight into network and asset behavior, and ease the burden of manual effort required to configure and
maintain NGFWs.
"Industrial AI, primarily in the form of machine learning, but other AI techniques are also being used. The pattern recognition capabilities of AI make it a great fit for enhancing threat detection and response. Applying AI to industrial firewalls makes it more effective at identifying patterns of abnormal behavior in assets or the network, providing real-time analysis of events as they happen. AI can also help automate responses to attacks and can automate responses such as blocking network traffic or even dynamically adapting security postures to a address threats,” according to Larry O'Brien, Vice President of Research and key author of ARC's Industrial Next Generation Firewalls Market Research.
