Study Notes
Firewall as a Service (FWaaS)
- FWaaS is a cloud-based firewall abstraction, useful for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
- It is cost-effective and adaptable to changing network needs
- FWaaS can include virtualization features like SDN (software-defined networks) and VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure)
- It provides a hardware firewall functionality as a service, easily adapting to current market needs
- It allows for new network services that were not previously feasible
