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
- It is flexible and customizable to individual network needs
How FWaaS Works
- FWaaS works similarly to a next-generation firewall solution by controlling network traffic
- Protects against internal and external threats
- Includes stateful firewall features (packet filtering), network monitoring, and Internet Protocol security (IPsec)
- Supports secure sockets layer virtual private network (SSL VPN) and Internet Protocol (IP) mapping
- FWaaS performs deeper content inspection to find malware and harmful activities
- FWaaS sits between the network and the internet, analyzing incoming traffic and mitigating vulnerabilities
Advantages of FWaaS
- Simplified deployment and maintenance
- Uniform security policy through the cloud
- Flexible deployment and operating expense (OpEx) consumption model
- Improved scalability
- Increased flexibility
