FWaaS – FireWall-as-a–Service
(FWaaS) is a cloud native firewall function that delivers traffic inspection and infiltration prevention. Like a traditional firewall, filters out potentially malicious network traffic but unlike traditional firewalls, cloud firewalls are hosted in the cloud.
FWaaS allows organizations to establish secure local breakouts for all applications without security appliances to buy, deploy, or manage. Security capabilities, including full Layer 7 firewall, are delivered as a cloud service that scales elastically to handle SSL inspection, growing bandwidth and user demands, and cloud application traffic with long-lived connections.
