Firewalls Evolve Over the Years Before the UTM, there was the basic firewall. All traffic passed through the firewall for basic inspection of security policies based on network information such as the type of protocol or the source/destination addresses.

We recently held a webinar focused on educating network professionals about Firewall as a Service (FWaaS). The backhauling approach means routing the traffic through the datacenter where there is a big firewall to secure it before exiting to the internet. Upgrades and maintenance are still a huge challenge for such solutions.

If you’re like many of the IT leaders we encounter, you’re likely facing a refresh on your firewall appliances or will face one soon enough. And while the standard practice was to exchange one firewall appliance for another, increasingly, enterprises seem to be replacing firewall appliances with firewall-as-a-service (FWaaS).

Routing is performed by routers, firewalls, multi-layer switches and gateways. Any host that is not part of the source device network can be reached through the default router or gateway. From this configuration, NIC of a device know its default gateway to forward traffic to another network.
