In a 2016 Hype Cycle for Infrastructure Protection report , Gartner Analyst Jeremy DHoinne initiated the emerging category of Firewall as a Service (FWaaS). This is the first time an established firewall vendor that had built its business on selling appliances is offering its core platform as a cloud service.

Traditional firewall security simply cant keep up with the challenges created by these new network paradigms. As a result, when I discuss firewall security with enterprises today, there are three reoccurring themes: visibility, scalability, and convergence. Lets find out.

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? FWaaS is a new type of a Next Generation Firewall.

I read with some surprise the interview with Zscalers CEO, Jay Chaudry, in CRN where he stated that the network firewalls will go the way of the mainframe, that the network is just plumbing and that Zscaler proxy overlay architecture will replace it with its application switchboard. The proxy firewalls faded. I guess not.

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.

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.
