Integration of ZTNA connector with NGFW Engine

NGFW Engine is typically located in the perimeter of the network where internal resources are located. Therefore, if ZTNA connector is integrated with NGFW Engine, it can be used as a connection point for many services that you might want to publish through FONE portal using the ZTNA connector. From 7.0 onwards, ZTNA connector is integrated with NGFW Engine by default. NGFW hosts a docker container that runs ZTNA connector, which acts as a proxy for FONE portal. For more information about enabling the ZTNA connector, see Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall Product Guide. For more information about the ZTNA connector, see Zero Trust Network Access section in Forcepoint ONE Admin Guide.

Web filtering and Network Application detection for QUIC

Web filtering and Network Application detection for QUIC is targeted for users who are using inspection features such as Network and URL applications but are not decrypting the traffic.

QUIC protocol is always inspected and by default matched for web traffic rules. In this release, decryption of QUIC traffic is not supported but discarding the QUIC traffic causes most of the standard web clients fall back to earlier versions of HTTP, for which decryption by TLS inspection is supported. For more information about this feature, see Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall Product Guide.
