The Challenge of Managing On-Premise Next-Gen Firewalls

Purchasing and maintaining on-premise Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW) requires significant upfront hardware capital, recurring security subscription licenses, and dedicated certified network security engineers.

How Cloud-Delivered FWaaS Works

Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS) moves firewall processing into the cloud. All corporate office and remote worker internet traffic is routed through encrypted tunnels to cloud firewall nodes for deep packet inspection and threat filtering.

Key Benefits: Scalability, Zero Hardware CapEx, and 24/7 Support

FWaaS converts network security into a flexible monthly OpEx subscription, providing continuous IPS threat updates, SSL decryption, web filtering, and 24x7 monitoring by security experts.
