Cloud-managed control layer
Policy, inspection and monitoring run centrally. Updates are applied once rather than site by site.
Home/Cloud Firewall
Cloud-delivered security
One policy layer. Every location it needs to reach.
Cloud-managed firewall protection for distributed networks, remote sites and cloud workloads — administered centrally instead of appliance by appliance.
Architecture
Protection delivered as a service.
Instead of a box at every location running its own rules, policy lives in one place and applies wherever traffic is protected.
Distributed environments
Head offices, branch sites, remote workers and cloud workloads covered under a consistent set of rules.
Scales by configuration
Adding a location is a policy change, not a procurement cycle. Capacity depends on your plan.
Cloud workloads
The same boundary thinking, applied inside your cloud.
Cloud environments have their own internal structure: public-facing tiers, private services, data layers. A virtual firewall applies inbound and outbound rules between them, so traffic inside the environment follows a policy rather than a default.
Events are recorded centrally alongside the rest of your protected networks, which keeps review in one place.
Configuration note
Available controls depend on your cloud architecture and the plan selected. Third-party cloud platforms are operated by their respective providers.
Management
What central administration actually changes.
Before
- A change means repeating work at every location
- Configurations drift apart over time
- Activity is scattered across separate devices
- Adding a site is a hardware exercise
With cloud management
- A change is made once and applied everywhere
- Policy stays consistent across locations
- Activity records sit in one place
- Adding a site is a configuration change
Visibility
Knowing what is happening across all of it.
Distributed networks fail quietly. Without a shared view, a pattern that would be obvious across three sites looks like nothing at any one of them.
Central monitoring brings activity together, so review covers the whole estate rather than whichever device someone happened to check.
FAQ
Cloud firewall questions.
What does 'cloud firewall' mean here?
Two related things. Protection delivered from the cloud rather than from hardware at each location, and protection applied to workloads running in cloud environments. Both are managed from the same place.
Do we still need equipment at each site?
Cloud-delivered policy reduces how much has to be configured and maintained locally. What remains at a site depends on your connectivity and architecture, which is worth reviewing before you plan a change.
How does this handle remote workers?
Policy follows the connection rather than the building, so staff working from home or elsewhere can be covered by the same rules as the office. Specific options depend on the configuration selected.
Can we manage everything from one place?
That is the point of the model: one control layer for every protected network, site and workload, so a change applies consistently instead of being repeated device by device.
Does it scale as we add locations?
Adding a location is a configuration change rather than a hardware project. Scale, capacity and available features depend on your plan and architecture.
Which cloud platforms does this apply to?
Virtual firewall protection is designed for common cloud environments. Third-party platforms are separate products operated by their own providers; what integrates in your case depends on your architecture, so it is best confirmed directly.
