Network Security & Firewall
Network Security & Firewall covers perimeter and branch security appliances: Fortinet FortiGate units like the 70F, Juniper SRX320 and earlier NetScreen-25 appliances, HPE U200-S unified threat management boxes, and SonicWall firewalls. A firewall is only as current as its software and threat subscriptions, which are licensed separately from the hardware and follow the manufacturer's transfer rules. Check support status and licensing before buying hardware for production use.

Buying guide
Buying firewall hardware
Throughput with features on
Compare threat-protection or IPS throughput, not raw firewall throughput. Turning on inspection lowers the number considerably.
Subscriptions
Security services like antivirus, IPS and web filtering are subscriptions tied to the unit's serial number, bought from the manufacturer or a partner.
Interfaces
Count the copper and SFP ports you need for WAN, LAN and DMZ, and check whether you need high-availability pairs.

Frequently asked questions
Do firewall licenses transfer with the hardware?
That's set by each manufacturer's policy. Some subscriptions are tied to the original owner or serial number, so check transfer rules before relying on existing licenses.
Are older firewalls like the NetScreen-25 still useful?
Mostly as replacements in lab or legacy environments. For internet-facing use, choose models the manufacturer still issues security updates for.
