FWaaS is a cloud-based security service that provides firewall protection. It offers advanced security features comparable to a traditional Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) but delivered as a service. FWaaS solutions typically include:

• NGFW capabilities: Deep packet inspection, intrusion prevention systems (IPS), application control, and URL filtering.
• Cloud-native architecture: Scalability, flexibility, and rapid deployment.
• Centralised management: Simplified policy management and administration.
• Threat protection: Advanced threat detection and prevention capabilities.

By leveraging FWaaS, organisations can benefit from enhanced security, reduced management overhead, and increased agility.
