A firewall has to find the difference between good and bad packets, and for this, nothing is better than humans ! (french people could add this is the same difference as for good and bad hunters).

  • better than stateful
  • better than layer 7 analysis
  • compliant with encrypted traffic
  • able to detect malware, suspicious traffic, virus, etc.
