Cloud Firewall (CFW)

In today's digital age, cloud computing has become an essential part of many companies' IT strategies. Cloud infrastructures provide the flexibility, scalability and cost-efficiency that companies need to remain competitive. However, with the increasing reliance on cloud infrastructures comes the need for robust security measures to protect against threats and vulnerabilities.

As companies move more applications and data to the cloud, they face a growing risk of cyberattacks, data breaches, and compliance issues. Traditional security solutions may not be sufficient to address the unique challenges of cloud computing, such as:

Increased attack surface: Cloud infrastructures provide a larger attack surface with more entry points for hackers and malicious actors.
Lack of visibility and control: Conventional security solutions may not provide the visibility and control needed to protect cloud-based applications and data.
Compliance and regulatory requirements: Cloud infrastructures must comply with regulatory requirements such as PCI DSS, HIPAA and GDPR.

Cloud Firewall (CFW) is designed to address these challenges and provides a cloud-native firewall solution to help companies protect their cloud infrastructure from potential threats. With its advanced features and capabilities, Cloud Firewall helps you create a secure and isolated environment for your applications and data while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.

Improved visibility and control

Cloud Firewall provides real-time visibility and control over your cloud infrastructure, so you can easily monitor and manage your network traffic, applications and data. With CFW, you can create customized security policies, monitor network traffic, and respond quickly to security incidents. This gives you more control over your cloud environment and reduces the risk of security breaches.

Key Features of Cloud Firewall

Advanced intrusion detection

The Cloud Firewall offers advanced threat detection and prevention, including Intrusion Prevention (IPS). This helps prevent unauthorized access, data leaks and other security incidents and ensures that your cloud environment remains safe and secure.

Network segmentation and isolation

The Cloud Firewall allows you to create isolated networks and segments, ensuring that confidential data and applications remain secure and protected. This feature helps improve compliance with regulatory requirements such as PCI DSS, HIPAA and GDPR and provides an additional layer of security for your cloud infrastructure.

Real-time monitoring and logging

The Cloud Firewall provides real-time monitoring and logging capabilities that allow you to track and analyze network traffic, security incidents and system logs. This helps you to identify potential security threats, resolve issues, and optimize your cloud infrastructure.

Use Cases

Incoming Traffic Control (Intrusion Prevention)

As a cloud administrator, you need to ensure the security of your cloud infrastructure by controlling incoming traffic and preventing potential security threats. You can implement an intrusion prevention system (IPS) that can detect and block malicious traffic before it reaches your cloud resources.

Scenario:

You have a cloud-based application that is accessible over the internet. You want to ensure that only legitimate traffic reaches your application and that any malicious traffic is blocked. You decide to implement an inbound traffic control system (intrusion prevention) with a cloud firewall.

Cloud Firewall Structure & Function: Incoming Traffic Control

Goals:

Prevent unauthorized access to your cloud resources
Detect and block known and unknown threats, such as malware, viruses and other types of malicious code
Monitor and analyze network traffic to detect potential security issues
Implement granular access controls to restrict inbound traffic based on IP addresses, ports, protocols and other criteria

Outgoing Traffic Control (Outgoing traffic control from the server)

As a cloud administrator, you need to ensure the security of your cloud infrastructure by controlling outbound traffic from your servers. You want to implement a system that can monitor and restrict outbound traffic to prevent unauthorized access to external resources and reduce the risk of data breaches.

Scenario:

You have a cloud-based application running on multiple servers. You want to ensure that the traffic coming from these servers is restricted to specific IP addresses, ports and protocols and that any unauthorized access is blocked. You decide to implement a system to control outbound traffic using a cloud firewall.

Cloud Firewall Structure & Function: Outgoing Traffic Control

Goals:

Prevent unauthorized access to external resources
Restricting outbound traffic to specific IP addresses, ports and protocols
Monitor and analyze outbound traffic to identify potential security issues
Implement granular access controls to restrict outbound traffic based on server roles, IP addresses and other criteria

Internal Traffic Control (Inter-VPC access control)

As a cloud administrator, you need to ensure the security of your cloud infrastructure by controlling internal traffic between virtual private clouds (VPCs). You want to implement an internal traffic control system that can monitor and restrict traffic between VPCs to prevent unauthorized access and reduce the risk of data breaches.

Scenario:

You have multiple VPCs in your cloud infrastructure, each with its own set of resources and applications. You want to ensure that internal traffic between the VPCs is restricted to specific IP addresses, subnets and protocols, and that any unauthorized access is blocked. You decide to implement an internal traffic control system with a cloud firewall.

Cloud Firewall Structure & Function: Internal Traffic Control

Goals:

Prevention of unauthorized access between VPCs
Restrict internal traffic to specific VPCs, subnets and IP addresses
Monitor and analyze internal traffic to identify potential security issues
Implement granular access controls to restrict internal traffic based on VPC roles, IP addresses and other criteria
