PRESS RELEASE. SUNNYVALE, CA - DECEMBER 5, 2023 - Cloudbrink has added firewall-as-a-service to its zero-trust access solution, the first vendor to provide granular security controls all the way to the user edge for the comprehensive protection of endpoint devices.
The company, which delivers high-performance zero-trust application connectivity to the hybrid workforce, says traditional and next generation firewalls fail to protect end users and their devices.
Offloading remote-user security functions improves the stability of existing firewalls and the network performance experienced by remote users, Cloudbrink claims.
Cloudbrink's FWaaS enables admins to set granular controls according to static and dynamic properties of the end-users and their devices.
Static properties include rules about what resources or applications can be accessed by individuals.
Soon to be released dynamic properties cover the compliance of the device - when a virus scan ran last, for example.
Also scheduled for a future release are reporting capabilities enabling security and networking teams to spot anomalies based on user behaviour and opportunities to tune application performance.
Cloudbrink's service already implements zero-trust access and moving target defense principles.
It uses rotational mTLS 1.3 to refresh user certificates automatically at short intervals.
We already deploy best-in-class zero-trust security to control access at the user level.
The FWaaS enables the service to be tailored more closely to the security needs of the enterprise.
Separately, Cloudbrink announced that customers will be able to use the service to access data center applications using IPSec as an alternative to the Cloudbrink Connector.
The IPsec capability will support connections through existing network firewalls, SD-WAN gateways, routers and other IPSec devices.
FWaaS functionality and IPsec connectivity are bundled with the Cloudbrink service starting December 2023.
Cloudbrink brings high-performance connectivity to the modern hybrid workforce anywhere in the world.
The company uses AI and ML to provide edge-native hybrid access as a service.
HAaaS delivers accelerated performance for cloud, SaaS, and data center applications.
Cloudbrink's software-only solution includes the world's first personal SD-WAN with high-performance zero-trust access and Automated Moving Target Defense security.
With the ability to use thousands of dynamic PoPs called FAST edges, Cloudbrink provides an in-office experience with a 30x increase in application performance and reduced operational complexity for network, security, and IT administrators.
Based in Sunnyvale, California, the Cloudbrink team has decades of combined expertise in last-mile network connectivity, security, and distributed systems.
