In the context of NGFW and ACI, how is traffic handled when it matches certain security policies?

When traffic matches certain security policies in the context of Next Generation Firewalls (NGFW) and Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI), it is inspected. This inspection involves analyzing the traffic to determine if it complies with security rules defined by the organization. The NGFW is designed to provide advanced security features including deep packet inspection and intrusion prevention, allowing it to evaluate the contents and context of the traffic.

Inspecting the traffic enables the organization to detect and respond to threats effectively, ensuring that only legitimate and safe traffic is allowed through, while potential security risks are identified and managed accordingly. This thorough inspection process is critical in a dynamic environment where applications and threats are constantly evolving, providing a robust layer of security to the infrastructure.
