Firewalls are an essential security measure for any organisation’s cyber security infrastructure

To keep your organisation protected, you need to ensure your security solutions can cope with modern cyberattacks. Firewalls ultimately filter all traffic that tries to cross the network’s border for inspection and can administer the network boundary where necessary preventing cyber-attacks. Firewall as a Service (FWaaS) represents a significant evolution in cybersecurity, offering organisations of all sizes the opportunity to fortify their digital perimeters with cutting-edge protection without the need for physical infrastructure. At its core, FWaaS leverages the capabilities of Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW) and shifts it from physical application to the Cloud, providing a flexible, scalable, and efficient solution for safeguarding networks, applications, and data from an increasingly sophisticated array of cyber threats. Removing the security capabilities from the physical infrastructure of a business allows securer connections to remote working and therefore the ability to cope with the modern corporate network having applications on-premises and in the cloud. One of the primary advantages of FWaaS is its ability to adapt to the dynamic nature of modern IT environments. Traditional, on-premises firewalls are often constrained by hardware limitations and static configurations, making them ill-suited to defend against rapidly evolving cyber threats and the fluid nature of cloud-based architectures.
