Based on open source technology, on a dedicated virtual machine, the firewall will manage any and every aspect of the traffic in/out/within your VLAN. Your administrators can utilize its graphical user interface to create routing, nation, implement IPSec, create VPN… Cloud Acropolis can also offer managed services for this FWaaS.
The outside network traffic will be streamlined to this FWaaS prior to get into your servers. This traffic then will follow up all the needed corporate and security policies implemented in the firewall by the Network and Security administrator. Once the traffic is “clean” (or even encrypted) then it will reach the servers. Similar policies can be set for network traffic in between the servers in the virtual data center in Cloud Acropolis.
This setup will create an unprecedented level of network security. If managed by the customer, even Cloud Acropolis will not be able to see the traffic after this FWaaS.
Filter traffic before it reaches to your server, at our data center edge firewall. They will drop all the unwanted bad traffic from the bots and attackers to only send the legitimate traffic to your server.
In Many cases like when using a critical database server, we add another layer of protection by segregating the database server in anothe VLAN and through another layer of Firewall.
