Firewall as a Service
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.

Centralised Management & Performance Optimisation
Our FWaaS Centralised Management features provide a unified platform for administering firewall policies across your distributed networks and multiple sites. This streamlines your administration processes and guarantees a uniform security posture throughout your organisation.
By centralising firewall policy management, complexities associated with maintaining security across diverse network infrastructures are minimised, promoting operational efficiency, and reducing the risk of inconsistencies or vulnerabilities.
Another key feature of our FWaaS is performance optimisation, which involves our expert team optimising network traffic to enhance overall performance. Through intelligent traffic routing and bandwidth management techniques, critical applications are prioritised, ensuring they receive timely access to resources while maintaining optimal network performance.
By fine-tuning traffic flow and resource allocation, our FWaaS ensures that your operations remain efficient and responsive, even during periods of high demand or network congestion.
Flexibility, Updates & Maintenance
Scalability and Flexibility are integral features of our FWaaS, providing seamless adaptability to dynamic network environments.
With our FWaaS, scaling firewall capacity is effortless, enabling swift adjustment to fluctuating network requirements. Whether accommodating surges in traffic volumes, integrating new applications, or expanding to additional locations, our FWaaS ensures uninterrupted protection while optimising performance and resource allocation.
This flexibility empowers you to efficiently manage your network security infrastructure, promoting agility and scalability in response to evolving business needs. Automatic Updates and Maintenance features streamline security management by ensuring that our FWaaS solutions are consistently up to date with the latest security measures. Regular updates encompass vital components such as security patches, firmware upgrades, and threat intelligence feeds.
By proactively addressing vulnerabilities and staying abreast of emerging cyber threats, our FWaaS facilitates continuous protection for your network.
This automated approach to maintenance enhances your security posture, mitigating risks and bolstering defences against evolving cybersecurity threats, thereby safeguarding organisational assets, and preserving operational continuity.
Real-time monitoring & Threat protection
The Real-Time Monitoring and Reporting feature of our FWaaS, delivers essential insights into your network activity and security status.
With real-time monitoring capabilities, you can track your firewall performance, analyse network traffic patterns, and swiftly identify security incidents as they unfold.
This proactive approach enables timely detection and response to potential threats, minimising their impact on your network whilst ensuring continuous protection for your digital assets. Advanced Threat Protection is a robust security feature of our FWaaS, equipped with intrusion detection and prevention, application control, malware detection, content filtering and much more. It provides comprehensive defence against a wide spectrum of cyber threats.
By leveraging sophisticated threat detection mechanisms and proactive mitigation strategies, our FWaaS solution effectively safeguards your network infrastructure, protecting against evolving vulnerabilities and emerging attack vectors.
This multi-layered defence approach enhances overall security posture, bolstering resilience and ensuring the integrity of your organisation's digital ecosystem.
