A firewall is a software or hardware device that protects computers and networks from malicious attacks. A firewall can be a standalone product or an integration with other security tools.

An NGFW is a type of firewall software that protects networks from cyberattacks. NGFWs are designed to detect and respond to attacks before they can cause serious damage.

There are several key differences between firewalls and NGFWs. First, firewalls are designed to protect computers and networks from malicious attacks. Second, firewalls are typically installed on individual computers or networks.

NGFWs are often installed on the network as a whole, on servers or other devices that act as gateways to the network. Third, firewalls are often less sophisticated than NGFWs.
