A firewall is the first line of defence for any Indian business network. Modern next-generation firewalls (NGFW) do far more than block ports — they inspect application traffic, prevent intrusions, filter URLs, and integrate with threat intelligence. Here's a frank comparison for Indian IT teams.
CERT-In's 2022 directions require organisations to implement security controls including network protection, log retention for 180 days, and incident detection. A properly configured NGFW with logging satisfies several CERT-In requirements. For regulated industries (banking, insurance, telecom), firewalls are mandated by their respective regulators (RBI, IRDAI, TRAI).
A FortiGate 60F (suitable for 50 users) costs approximately ₹35,000–45,000 for the hardware, plus ₹20,000–30,000/year for the UTM subscription (antivirus, IPS, web filtering, app control). Total first-year cost: ₹55,000–75,000. We supply, configure, and support FortiGate firewalls across Delhi NCR.
