If you’re evaluating next-generation firewalls, you already know the challenge: NGFWs are powerful—but quickly become expensive when you need to deploy them at scale. This is where the Hillstone A-Series next-generation firewall stands apart.
At a competitive price point, the Hillstone A-Series enables organisations to deploy true next-generation firewall capabilities across the enterprise, without compromising on performance, visibility, or security features expected from leading vendors.
Enterprise-Grade Security, Built for the Real World
The Hillstone A-Series NGFW is built on a modern, high-performance hardware architecture designed to meet real-world network security demands. It delivers industry-leading application-layer performance, high session capacity, and flexible expansion options to support growing networks.
High-density interfaces allow the firewall to function as a router or switch when required, reducing deployment complexity and overall infrastructure costs. Large onboard and expandable storage enables deep visibility, longer log retention, advanced analytics, and richer reporting.
Advanced Threat Detection and Prevention
The A-Series includes a comprehensive, unified threat detection and analytics engine that delivers real-time protection against both known and unknown threats. Multiple security mechanisms work together to maximise protection while minimising latency and operational overhead.
Security capabilities include intrusion prevention, malware protection, cloud sandboxing for zero-day threats, botnet command-and-control prevention, IP reputation services, URL filtering, SSL decryption, and more—all coordinated through a single policy framework.
Smart, Automated Policy Operations
Policy management is simplified through intelligent automation and lifecycle optimisation. The A-Series supports dynamic user-based policies, policy grouping aligned to business requirements, and policy aggregation to reduce complexity.
Built-in policy analysis tools identify redundant or unused rules and recommend optimisations based on real traffic patterns. This results in cleaner rule sets, improved security posture, and reduced administrative effort.
Built-In SD-WAN for Modern Networks
Integrated SD-WAN capabilities allow the A-Series to consolidate security and WAN functions into a single platform. Multiple links—including broadband, fibre, LTE, or MPLS—can be used intelligently to improve performance, resilience, and cost efficiency.
Traffic can be dynamically routed across available links, ensuring business continuity even during outages or disasters. Zero-touch provisioning and centralised management further reduce operational costs and deployment time.
