Data Center Next-Generation Firewall Use Cases

Table 1: Data Center Next-Generation Firewall Use Cases
Use Case Purpose
Next-generation firewall and ATP. Evaluates the usability and manageability of the firewall's ATP features and ensures the firewall can efficiently handle different types of traffic while maintaining performance. Also, detects and prevents zero-day threats through machine learning (ML) and behavioral analysis.
Validate data center traffic against threat on DNS traffic and validate DNS security features. Protects data center traffic against common DNS exploits by employing heuristic analysis and behavior-based detection. Validates if DGA/DNS tunneling and SecIntel static blocks are effectively utilized by the SRX Series Firewall.
Effectiveness of IDP system (IDS/IPS) functionalities Tests the effectiveness of IDP/IPS features by generating flood attacks, other attacks, and validates the effectiveness of the configured firewall settings.
Test security features with high availability use cases. Tests security features with high availability use cases. Validates all the configured features are effective against a high availability scenario. Each security feature is tested against different failure scenarios.
Evaluate firewall performance with various traffic types and various ATP features enabled. Evaluates the usability and manageability of the firewall's ATP features and ensures the firewall can efficiently handle different types of traffic while maintaining performance. Also detects and prevents zero-day threats through ML and behavioral analysis over constant base traffic across 20,000 users (HTTP traffic for 20,000 users).
