Firewall delivered as a cloud service to protect cloud workloads and distributed users.
A cloud firewall provides network security controls delivered from the cloud rather than on-premise hardware. Cloud firewalls protect cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP), secure remote users regardless of location, and can replace traditional perimeter firewalls for organisations embracing cloud-first architectures. They offer rapid deployment, automatic scaling, and centralised management across distributed environments. Cloud firewalls are essential for securing cloud workloads and supporting remote work without backhauling traffic through corporate data centres.
Why It Matters
The DSC Perspective:
Traditional firewalls assume everyone is in the office. Cloud firewalls protect your users and workloads wherever they are. Essential for organisations with significant cloud infrastructure or remote workers.
