    Regain Control Before Azure Cuts You Off

    When Azure ends default internet access, your cloud could grind to a halt. Aviatrix puts you back in control with enterprise-grade egress security — ensuring workloads stay online, data stays protected, and costs stay predictable.

    Block Data Leaks

    Stop Data Exfiltration at the Edge

    Azure’s NAT Gateway gives you no visibility into outbound traffic, leaving your cloud vulnerable to data exfiltration, malware callbacks, and unauthorized connections. Aviatrix locks down every outbound connection with URL filtering, geo-blocking, and threat detection, stopping attacks before they breach your defenses.

    Control Unpredictable Egress Costs

    Azure NAT Gateway Charges per GB turn outbound traffic into a runaway expense you can’t predict or control. Aviatrix offers flat-rate pricing, helping you cut egress costs by 25% or more. Keep your cloud spend under control — without sacrificing security, performance, or scalability.

    See and Control Every Connection

    Blind spots are where breaches happen. Azure’s native tools give you zero insight into outbound traffic patterns. Aviatrix provides deep visibility and analytics into every outbound connection, so you can monitor, detect, and respond to threats in real-time — reducing your MTTD/MTTR and stopping issues before they escalate.

    One Platform to Secure All Clouds

    Managing outbound access across Azure, AWS, and GCP feels like herding cats. Each cloud has different tools, policies, and risks. Aviatrix unifies outbound security and policy enforcement across all your environments, giving you one control plane to secure every cloud, region, and workload.

    Built-In Threat Detection & Defense

    Azure NAT Gateway is just a pipe—it doesn’t inspect traffic, detect threats, or block malicious activity. Aviatrix builds threat detection, URL filtering, and dynamic blocking directly into outbound traffic flows, ensuring malware callbacks, data theft, and unauthorized access are stopped before they reach your network.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Cta pattren Image
    Pattern Image
    • What happens if I don’t address Azure’s outbound access changes?

      If you do nothing, new Azure VMs will lose internet access, breaking applications, pipelines, and services that rely on outbound connectivity. This leads to downtime, SLA penalties, delayed deployments, and increased security exposure. Without a centralized solution, teams will be forced into manual, piecemeal fixes, increasing operational overhead and compliance risks.

    • Is Aviatrix Secure NAT Gateway just like Azure NAT Gateway?

      No. Azure NAT Gateway provides basic network address translation only — it doesn’t inspect traffic, detect threats, or provide visibility. Aviatrix Secure NAT Gateway delivers enterprise-grade security controls, including threat detection, URL filtering, geo-blocking, and full traffic analytics. Plus, Aviatrix offers flat-rate pricing, eliminating unpredictable per-GB egress costs that Azure NAT Gateway imposes.

    • How does Aviatrix help prevent data exfiltration and malware callbacks?

      Aviatrix monitors and controls outbound traffic at the source, using real-time threat detection, URL filtering, and geo-blocking to prevent unauthorized connections. This stops data exfiltration, malware callbacks, and unauthorized access before they ever leave your cloud. Azure NAT Gateway doesn’t provide any of these protections, leaving outbound traffic unmonitored and exposed.

    • How much can I save with Aviatrix compared to Azure NAT Gateway?

      Azure NAT Gateway charges per GB of egress traffic, which can add up fast as your cloud scales. Aviatrix offers flat-rate pricing, meaning your egress costs are predictable — no surprises, no bill shock. On average, customers save 25% or more annually on egress costs compared to native solutions. Plus, Aviatrix delivers better security and control as part of that package.

    • Will Aviatrix work with my existing multicloud environment?

      Yes! Aviatrix is designed for multicloud environments. It provides centralized control and visibility across Azure, AWS, GCP, and more — allowing you to manage outbound access consistently without juggling cloud-native tools. Whether you’re hybrid, multicloud, or migrating between providers, Aviatrix helps you maintain secure, scalable outbound connectivity everywhere.

    • How can I evaluate Aviatrix without disrupting my environment?

      With Aviatrix, you can start with a free, no-obligation security assessment — no deployment or changes to your cloud footprint required. We analyze your outbound access posture, showing where security gaps, compliance risks, and cost inefficiencies exist. It’s a zero-risk way to discover your exposure before Azure’s changes disrupt your environment.
