Cloud Firewall as a Service [FWaaS]

A firewall controls the inbound and outbound traffic between an organization’s network and the internet and determines whether traffic should be blocked or allowed to pass, based on rules set by the organization. Cloud Firewall as a Service (FWaaS) refers to a firewall that delivers advanced, next-generation firewall (NGFW) capabilities, from the cloud, including URL filtering, advanced threat prevention, intrusion prevention systems (IPS), and DNS security. A cloud FWaaS enables organizations to eliminate physical firewall appliances and simplify their IT infrastructure while enforcing policies consistently wherever users connect.
