Cloud Firewalls Are Not like Traditional Firewalls

NGFW vs. Cloud-Native

NGFW vs. Cloud-Native

Virtualized firewall appliances use the same operating system and deliver the same operational experience as the traditional, physical appliances they’re extended from. A cloud firewall, in contrast, is built specifically for the realities of the cloud. Virtualized firewalls often lack the deeper integration and intelligence required for true cloud-native security.

  • Contextual Awareness

    Tailor your protection with a solution that understands cloud workloads and their security requirements.

  • Automation & Orchestration

    Automate security policies based on cloud-specific triggers to reduce manual intervention.

  • Adaptive Security

    Ensure robust protection with a solution that continuously adapts to changes in the cloud environment and threat landscape.

Firewall Flexibility and Efficiency for Modern Environments

Common Challenges

  • Inefficient Scaling

    Scaling is inefficient and requires planning and manual intervention.

  • Limited Cloud Integration

    Integration with cloud services is limited to basic functionality and requires manual configuration.

  • Insufficient Visibility

    Centralized management may be available but often lacks the depth of visibility and real-time capabilities needed for cloud-native workloads.

  • What is a Cloud Firewall?

    A cloud firewall is a security service deployed in the cloud to protect cloud-based applications and data. Cloud firewalls provide advanced security features such as data encryption, integration with cloud services, threat detection and response, and dynamic scalability to support the dynamic and diverse surface of the cloud.

  • What are the main differences between cloud and traditional firewalls?

    Cloud firewalls are deployed in the cloud as a service and offer better scalability and integration with cloud services, while traditional firewalls are designed around protecting static, on-premises workloads through traditional, manual operating patterns.

  • How does Aviatrix Cloud Firewall handle internal threats?

    Aviatrix Cloud Firewall includes URL filtering, geo-blocking, and advanced threat detection integrated into the NAT process.

  • Can cloud firewalls replace traditional firewalls?

    Cloud firewalls are often used in conjunction with traditional firewalls to provide comprehensive security coverage. Traditional firewalls are focused on ingress security whereas Aviatrix Cloud Firewall is focused on protecting workloads from data theft.
