It really wasnt very long ago when installing a Firewall (FW) or Unified Threat Management (UTM) system at the perimeter was deemed secure enough to protect corporate networks. But those very networks have changed dramatically over the past decade. Compatibility and security policies for multiple cloud and IaaS services.

Since the beginning of networks, the lynchpin of network security has been the firewall. The first network firewalls appeared in the late 1980s, and gained almost universal acceptance by the early 1990s. So what is a Firewall as a Service and why do you need it? What is FWaaS, and Why Do You Need It?

Firewalls – the foundation of an organizations network security strategy – filters network traffic and can enforce an organizations security rules. However, a firewall is only effective if it can accurately identify network traffic and apply the appropriate security policies and filtering rules.

Recent trends in enterprise networking have created a challenge for network security engineers. The rise of mobile devices, combined with the shift to cloud based platforms, means that many networks no longer have a clear perimeter, where all applications and users could be jointly protected against cyber-attacks.

This is a no-brainer: MPLS networks are often not encrypted and SD-WAN require organizations to think about encryption, something they may not have done before.
