A firewall serves as a barrier to unapproved network traffic.
A firewall creates a remotely delivered cybersecurity solution licensed on a subscription basis as a Service or FWaaS. Companies can streamline their IT infrastructure using Perimeter81 FWaaS, a firewall solution offered as a cloud-based service.
Firewalls were initially developed to safeguard local company networks, but firewalls changed as more businesses migrated their data and applications to the cloud.
A firewall as a service is a product or service that businesses can purchase to protect their network from external threats.
FWaaS goes beyond merely virtualizing a network firewall appliance.
With the help of FWaaS, businesses can eliminate firewall appliances, streamline their IT infrastructure, and enhance cybersecurity in general.
FWaaS is very similar to an on-premises hardware firewall in many ways.
Firewall as a Service filters network traffic to protect the organization from threats, much like NGFWs do.
Every traffic must go through a firewall because FWaaS sits between a network and the internet.
Increased synergy is a further advantage of having a firewall integrated into the structure of your network.
Web filtering, advanced threat protection, intrusion prevention system, and Domain Name System security are all features of the hyper-scale next-generation firewall solution known as FWaaS. You can fully secure and monitor your company's most crucial resources from a single dashboard.
A firewall can prevent access to specific unapproved websites and prevent unauthorized users from using your system.
Data sent between your office computers and your remote office can be encrypted using a firewall.
Using firewall network security, you can easily restrict the bandwidth available for a specific type of access or data.
Using a firewall as a service ensures that your IT team concentrates on tasks related to the organization's primary objective.
Traditional firewalls protect an organization's internal network, whereas cloud-based firewalls erect a virtual security barrier around cloud platforms, infrastructure, and applications.
The main distinction between cloud firewalls and traditional firewalls is that cloud firewalls are hosted in the cloud.
In contrast, traditional firewalls also act as a network security mechanism to stop malicious network attacks.
Organizations don't need to perform installation or configuration work for cloud-based firewalls because these tasks are handled by the outside vendors who are offering the service.
Providers of managed firewall services can assist you in creating and implementing an efficient cybersecurity strategy designed to meet your specific needs.
